Some of you may know my nephew Aaron had childhood cancer and a brain tumor. Went to my brother's house and Aaron is now fully mobile without the use of a walker. He will be six on January 1. This is huge and it was amazing to see how far he's come.

Thanks everyone! He is a special little guy. We really don't know what the future holds. He doesn't talk yet, but can understand some sign language. Aaron loves music although he has very discerning taste. The piano guys, a couple of Phish songs, Justin Timberlake, Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. He's also a big fan of action movies with fight scenes.

Aaron had a seizure at school
Aaron had a seizure at school yesterday and he's in the hospital. Just saw him over the weekend. They are running some tests. We're all supposed to go to a wedding this weekend. Praying that he's okay. He was scheduled to have an MRI in December.

Thanks. He is making a lot of progress and this is not good. At least it happened in front of someone. Imagine if it happened at night. He's had NED (No Evidence of Disease) for quite some time. His big brother just turned eight on Sunday. Harsh reality. Feel awful for Aaron and my brother and sister-in-law.

Man, sorry to hear about that
Man, sorry to hear about that. My autistic nephew is plagued with seizures and every other imaginable malady. It seems like life has it out for some of these kids...though they take it all in stride while we sit and cry 'WHY?'.

Sucks for the kid to be
Sucks for the kid to be dealing with seizures, Sarah. Fwiw, my nephew had seizures for years till they figured out that they were triggered by environmental factors, including blue dye No. 2 (in Gatorade and also cake icing) and the glues used in carpeting. The docs had the kid on all sorts of meds, and even suggested brain surgery to eliminate the seizures. I know, every case is different. Just was shocking to see how quick the docs are to pathologies seizure disorders and reluctant to look at underlying environmental causes. hope your nephew is doing better.

Something to think about
Something to think about although he doesn't drink Gatorade. He is a patient at Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago which is the best in the city and nationally ranked.
