Give Thanks!

We had a fantastic Thanksgiving. Couldn't ask for a better one. Aidan went to the MD Clinic last Monday to see the rehab specialists. My mom and me got some clarification on Aidan. He is a thriving two year old. Right at this moment there isn't much more we could do for him. Keep doing what we are doing. He has speech and some physical therapy. They said usually parents don't find out their child has this disease until their 5 or 6 so its a blessing we found out early. Of course I have this urge I want to do more. I want to do something but you really cannot. I figure we can show awareness, try to raise money for a cure, that is our best options right now. We cannot do anything to his body but we can spread the word around the world. So we have a few things in the works. The MD is having the walk-a-thon this March and we made a team called TEAM AIDAN. If anyone is interested joining our team let me know. Email is the best way to reach me: elainecabe@gmail.com. I want to still ask everyone to please pray for Aidan, our family, pray for all the children with DMD, and pray for the families of the lost.

On a good note, we are getting ready for Christmas

Thanks to my hubby for doing a terrific job decorating!

Raising Money for a Cause





Just wanted to give a huge thank you to HONDA PARTS CONNECTION off of Peachtree Industrail in Buford, Ga for raising a total $100.22 in change for MDA for Aidan. WTR Transmission and The Cabe Family is so thankful for their contribution. EVERY PENNY COUNTS!

Long Time



Sorry I have not been blogging lately. Been very busy lately with all the three kiddos. Aidan has been doing great no big issues at the moment. I did apply for disability for him so I am going through that process. Also I finally finished my story about Aidan as a co-author in a book so that was very exciting and loved that I got to do that. Also some calendars are coming out for Duchenne so if anyone would like to buy one let me know. I will have more information soon. Holidays are coming up and this is the first one since knowing about his diagnosis. I don't think it will change anything about the holidays. Holidays are usually a happy time and joyful time anyways. Aidan has an appointment with the MD Clinic this Monday. Little nervous as usual but I know it will be okay. We are just trying to still take one day at a time and enjoy every moment even if it is a little moment. Our goal as a family for next year is work hard for awareness for Duchenne, get healthier, and also hopefully we can fully adopt Aidan. We have alot of things to be thankful for and we are very blessed!
