Hi Kristy--

I just read both your initial e-mails about Aiden and the followup. He

*does* sound like a trooper and I'm so happy for him, you and his parents that

he

didn't have to have surgery.

Thinking of you and your family . . .

Kristy,

Oh how I remember you talking about little Aidan. I can't believe he's

already 3 years old. Time flies by!!

We will say many prayers for him. Please keep us updated and I know our

prayers will help him and his parents through this.

Hi Everyone,

Most of you know my grandson, Aidan, but for those of you who don't I will

give you a brief update.

Aidan is 3 years old and has VATER syndrome. VATER is an acronym for

various medical problems in his body. When he was born he was missing a part

of his esophogus, his heart had 2 holes and is in backwards, he had kidney

reflux, his trachea collapsed, and later he developed a bone that grew over

his soft spot that had to be scraped away and screws and a metal plate were

inserted. (there are other problems but these are the major ones)

Thankfully, as you can see, all of these problems were written in past

tense. He has had 9 surgeries in his short life to fix all of these problems

including a pace maker for his heart. He is a wonderful little fellow with

loads of energy and up until now, he has been doing remarkably well.

This evening, while my son, Arron, was washing Aidan's hair he discovered

that one of the screws in Aidan's head has worked its way out and has

actually broken through the skin and is protruding out of his head.

Currently, they are on their way to the hospital, and likely, by tomorrow or

Saturday, Aidan will have to have skull surgery to fix this problem. Because

of all of Aidan's heart and trachea problems, surgery is never standard for

him. Before the pace maker, Aidan went into cardiac arrest several times

with the anestesia. He hasn't had a surgery since the pace maker last spring

so I am not sure if the pace maker will help this problem or not.

So, we would really appreciate any prayers you can send our way. And, pray

for Arron and his wife Gigi, they are extremely worried and afraid for Aidan

Thanks

Hello, Kristy

I may not write much anymore , but I do keep you and the group in my thoughts.

Can hardly believe that little booger is 3 already. Of course I will say tons of

prayers for him, you, and the entire family. Hugs to you all & please, do your

best to take care.

Thanks for the prayers everyone! Aidan is home safe now. When he arrived at the

hospital they were able to realize that the screw had come completely out and

was just laying inside of his skin. So, they numbed the area and got the screw

out. Arron said he was a real trooper and didn't cry once! We really thought at

first that they would have to give him another skull surgery, thankfully, that

screw had worked its way out or that is where we would have been today!

Thanks again! Our prayers were answered!

Kristy:

I will definitely pray for Aidan, Arron, and Gigi. Gosh that poor

baby has gone through so much in his life. My heart breaks for him.

I will pray that everything goes smoothly and that he recovers

quickly and I will pray that God keeps him well. God bless you and

your family.

Prayers are being sent.

And you are right, it IS Spiritual warfare.

Any meditation, grounding and development of awareness of 'Source'

you can develop will be of benefit to you.

Many people are caught up in the Medico/Big Pharma Syndrome and don't

realize there are other ancient ways at working towards Healing.

Yes, I am having to make use of Allopathic Medical techniques too,

but I also avail myself of acupuncture, massage, Reiki (helps greatly

with pain and relaxation), breathing techniques, attending a local

drumming session, whether I'm able to drum or not myself, Etc.

Breathing and Grounding techniques might be the most helpful as it

seems that when we're sick we shallow breathe and draw into ourselves.

I suspect that if and as you open yourself to one or more of these

complementary methods you'll learn more ways to help yourself.

Mind you, I've just spent what seems like the last month sleeping my

life away with no energy, no appetite, beginning to seriously doubt

my quality of life!

The last time I spent three hours outside at a drumming session, I

developed a sickness due to my environmental allergies! I have to

work up enough energy to go to the doctor's and try to do any sides,

such as a little shopping while I'm out.

Generally, I take sleep aids late at night to go to bed, wake up in

the morning to take my meds, stay up a couple/three hours, go back to

bed for a few hours and then seem to feel better for the evening/night.

It's as if my circadian rhythm is reversed. I even seem to have some

energy during the wee hours! I'll sort things, do little jobs as I

can and then other times I just lay there in my easy chair and watch

TV, I know all the commercials by heart!

It's wonderful that you seem to have the support of your family and

they know you appreciate it!

Peace and Love,

Byron
