Aidan is a 17 year old upcoming senior that just experienced unexpected brain surgery. Thank God that what was removed from his brain is NOT cancer (being sent to pathology to confirm) Doctors suspect the diagnosis to be Cerebral Cavernous Malformation (CCM). We are awaiting confirmation. He does have more smaller ones on his brain, but the big one causing the brain not to be able to drain fluid was removed. The others may/or may not ever cause him problems. Recovery will be slow, but he has been doing well. We also chose to participate in a research study to help doctors learn more about CCM. We cannot thank everyone enough for the love, support and prayers sent our way. We can honestly say we have had a peace that we know only God can give!!! Please continue to pray the fluid will drain like it's supposed to and there will be no set backs.
