Please send your hugs and prayers to Aiden.

Hello everyone. I just wanted to take a minute to share the following e-mail with you. It's from one of my long time clients and dear friend, Mary Young. Her great nephew is very ill and we would both appreciate it if you would keep he and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

If you get a minute, sign his guestbook. Here's the e-mail from Mary:

My great nephew who just turned 3 in June has Leukemia as some of you know. He is starting the last phase of his chemo and will have chemo for 56 days in a row/7 days a week if all goes as planned. There are extenuating circumstances because Aiden was born with his heart on the wrong side of his chest and the first dose of this last session of chemo on Monday made his heart do some bad things, so they're unsure of his exact treatment at this time, but this 56 days in a row thing is what they say he NEEDS.

His folks could sure use some support and encouragement right now. First, their baby is so very ill and now the vultures are circling. Plus, they have two other children to raise and just the strain of trying to keep it all together is very upsetting. Please take a moment to say a prayer for Aiden and his family and then please sign his guestbook at the link below.

I know they'd appreciate hearing from you all. Sometimes when it seems you'll never see daylight again, someone can offer a few kind words and the day doesn't seem quite so dark anymore. I know it would be a great comfort to Gena (and the rest of us) if you could just let her know she's not alone. Even if you just say you're thinking of them, that would be great. Thanks so much.
