What we want you all to know is your prayers are working, Aidan is doing just fine, and God continues to bless the Zaugg’s family.  Mike is back to work fulltime with a wonderfully secure job that does not require him to leave his family, Sage continues to be a shining example of what God intended a Big Brother to be, and Tanya continues her very importnat work of being Aidan's nurse, chef, teacher, friend, and loving mother.

Just to ensure full disclosure and make sure you are totally up to date… there has been one small blip on Aidan’s progress chart and that has now resolved itself completely.  During Aidan’s last Seattle appointment they did his normal blood work up.  When the results came back, Aidan’s platelet count had slipped to 80, and the Doctors begin to get concerned when it goes below 100.  The continual slippage in his count has been present for a very long time, but never before had it dipped below the “worry” line.  All are in agreement that the count slippage is due to the chemo and means nothing as far as cancer progression or anything like that.  The good news, Aidan was checked locally only one week later, and believe it or not, his count had risen to 210!  We are convinced this slight blip was nothing, and we are further convinced his immediate and complete recovery is another in the continuing miracles that Aidan has  received.

Know your prayers are doing as you had intended, and know that Aidan and his entire family are forever grateful for your continuing support.
