Its amazing to me how resilient and confident children are nowadays. As Amber and I prepared for Aiden's surgery today, we felt the gambit of emotions ranging from anxiety to despair. All the while, the person going through the surgery, Aiden, is calm, cool, and collected. His spine is being operated on and we are the ones exhibiting these emotions. Aiden, once again, showed us a very valuable lesson. His calm demeanor is evidence that those afflicted with trauma, pain, or a medical condition can still touch those around them. As well as set an example for how to deal with adversity!
Thank you to everyone for their positive thoughts. They truly work!
