Oh man. Glad you pulled through the scary stuff in the beginning! I have an uncle who is very much like Aiden and he has always been one of my best friends. It's hard not to love someone who is so genuine.

I can definitely relate to you on that level, and that my daughter was in the NICU too due to a platelet issue. She had to have a blood transfusion but didn't have any lasting issues out of it.

This this past April, my 9 year old son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes completely out of the blue...and on his birthday no less. Very strange considering no family history of it. But I guess type 1 doesn't really require that either. Life definitely throws some curveballs!
