Support Aaron's Road to Recovery
Aaron Atesiano is a 10 year old boy who attends George W. Carver Elementary School in Miami, Florida. He is full of energy, sweet, and a great friend! On November 19, 2020, Aaron went to his mother because he was experiencing excruciating pain in his head. Shortly after, he fainted and was immediately rushed to the hospital. It was discovered that Aaron has a condition in his brain known as Arterial Venus Malformation (AVM).
AVM is a tangle of abnormal blood vessels connecting arteries and veins in the brain. The arteries are responsible for taking oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the brain. Veins carry the oxygen-depleted blood back to the lungs and heart. A brain AVM disrupts this vital process.
Right now Aaron is in stable condition and has very limited use of body functions. He currently has a drainage tube from his head. The doctors at Nicklaus Children's Hospital have removed the tubes from his mouth, and will conduct an angiogram to determine the severity of the damage done to his brain. Aaron has undergone brain surgery to stabilize his injury, and is awaiting the next step for the best course of treatment. This can include radiation, injection of a glue, and/or another surgery.
While there is no question in our minds that Aaron will beat this with great strength. It is anticipated that he will be subject to possible brain surgery along with other treatment plans.
During this time, Aaron and his supporting family will be spending a lot of time at the hospital. The Atesiano family will likely be facing high medical expenses. With great urgency, we have created this page for the Atesiano family to allow them to focus on what's most important at this time, which is supporting Aaron and being together as a family.
Please keep sending the love and prayers for Aaron and his family. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts, and appreciate any proceeds that can be afforded to help the Atesiano family during this time.
Thank you.
