Awards....

Here is a picture of him and some of his classmates who received an award for behavior or most improved. Aiden is going to receive 3 awards the 3rd is tonight and that is specifically for his perfect grades. He received best behavior, perfect attendance , and also his award tonight for the perfect grades. I am so proud of my little boy he knows how to make his mommy happy. But he did say mom the award is only a piece of paper which we all started rolling of laughter when he said that. I will take more pictures tonight at his ceremony. Not to be a bragging mother but I just extremely proud. Happy Holidays to everyone. It has been very hard to get into the Christmas Spirit here when alot of negativity is taking place between his father and I. I am working on the Cards they just might be late.... Love to everyone, Melissa and Aiden

Almost a month

So it has been almost a month since my heart surgery. It seems as if things get better for a little while then they start back up again. My rhythm is definatly better. It is in normal range which I am thankful for, but oh my if I relized I would have had chest pain like I have had for the past month. I would have definatly thought the surgery over more carefully and maybe not even gone though with it. When I said this to the cardiologist today he said it should get better, I should give it approxamatly 8 weeks. So that means another 4 to go. I am just so sick of going to the hospital and people thinking "it is in my head. " Damn it, it is not. The pain is there are at some points it is quite intense. I think the paramedics have been here about 4 or 5 times since I had the surgery, but that is what the cardiologist says to do. He says the heart is no matter to mess around with and it is better to be safe than sorry, which I understand but when you are looked upon at the ER like you are some fool it is so hard to go. Anyway I just had to vent. I really promise I will be on here more often and post more pictures of Aiden. Just recently have not felt like doing that much and when I do it is stuff that has to be done!!!!

I know It has been a While!!!!

Not much going on around here. Just really busy with school. Tons and Tons of homework and studying, but in the long run it will be worth it for Aiden and I he will have a wonderful life to look forward to. I just wish school would go faster. I want to be done, I want to support my son 100% not just financially but also emotionally. I also really want to work so hard for my parents. They have given me so much in my life that I really did not think about or truly appreciate until recently. I want so bad to give them a nice worry free retirement. Isn't that what they deserve, while at least I think so they have given me so much. I can not believe that I am 23 and now just really starting to see it. I owe my parents everything I could not ever give them back what they have given me. The knowledge and most of all the strength and courage to succeed. I love them truly.
I really am hoping to blog more and take some more picture of Aiden and other's to have them posted on here. It just seems as if there is not enough hours in the day. I have classes Tuesdays and Thursdays for 12 hours a day. But it will all pay off in the end.
As for the heart condition, surgery is scheduled for Friday April 3, they are bringing in a surgeon from Florida to assist in the procedure since he is the expert in the heart condition I have Atrial Fibrillation along with a SA Node problem.I am ready for it and I see it as what is meant to be is meant to be. I am just so tired of the medication making me think like a foggy headed zombie...
For some reason I can not get my camera to upload any new pictures. I am working on it I promise. I will try to get them up latter tonight or tomorrow. I promise.
Love to All....

Nonna, Aiden, and Minnie Mouse Last weekend at Disneyland

Sorry For Yet Another Long Delay

We have been very busy here. They tried to modify my heart again. So we were in LA Tuesday to Wednesday. They burnt at the heart for 5 hours and still no luck. They now believe the arrhythmia is coming from a different part of the heart. So I am going to opt to have that surgery done there again during my spring break.
I know I need to start posting some more so I will I promise. Especially more pistures of Aiden and how he is doing.
My School starts back next Tuesday the 17th. So I will be fairly busy but I will keep up on the updates, Most definatly I want to get the most use out of this beautiful camarea I got.
Looking forward to hearing your comments, Next Time a pic of Aiden

Sorry for the Delay

Sorry for the long delay in posting. It has been pretty busy here.

Aiden is still doing swimming lessons and doing wonderful he has come so far in the past 6 weeks of lessons. He will now jump of of the side and doggy paddle to his teacher Erin, he will also go under holding on to the wall, he will push of of the wall and swim a short distance to her, and above all he will jump off the diving board to his teacher willingly it was amazing. 

I can not get my camera to upload onto the computer so no great Angels pictures from the other weekend. I will have Anthony try later. But this is a picture taken by Yvonne the wonderful photographer that did Aiden's pictures about a month ago. I have a few other ones to post that she took too. For all of you close email me for her phone number if you want picture's taken. 

I promise I will post more often.

Aiden and Nonna Baking a Cake

Here are two pictures of Aiden and my mom making a cake. Aiden loves to help in the kitchen. he might just be a chef like his Zio Mimmo! My mom had bought a new baking cook book, so she and Aiden made a cake this evening. We have been doing pretty good staying busy of course. 

Just getting ready to watch the Angels vs. Dodgers game. I really want to go out to Chavez Ravine in LA  this weekend to root my Angels on! I am unsure if we will go or not. We are going to Angel Stadium on July 4th then again on the 6th. 

Yesterday at Ontario Mills I bought Aiden some flip flops and it is so funny because he can not quite walk in them right so he kind of drags his feet along. It's so funny, but he will not take them off. Every waking moment he wants them on. Off to watch the game.  

Wordless Wednesday!!!!

Have fun with wordless Wednesday!

Birth of My Blog

So I am new to this blogging thing but what the heck. I have the whole summer off so I have to do something right. I have decided to do this so many of you far away can share in the joy of Aiden's life and new accomplishments. Things are crazy here so I will try to post as often as  I can and will try to post daily pictures. So to all the family and friends out there far far away this is our way of connecting to you! A little update on life: Aiden started swimming lessons today he was scared at first but slowly warmed up. I think he is going to love it! We also got him registered for next year of pre-school. To top the day off we went to Dr.Kwasman's office to check his head circumference because of the hydrocephalus. All in all it went will his head is measuring a little big so we are going to keep an eye on it. My little 3 and a half year old is now a whopping 27lbs. LOL (thats a joke) he is not even on the chart for his  weight.  

This picture was taken last wednesday and I love it. It was taken by a wonderful photographer named Yvonne that we found. I am trying to convince Anthony into buying me a nice D-SLR camera thats all I want. I think I would love to take somewhat professional pictures of Aiden on a daily basis so that I can post them. 

Feel free to pass on the address to anyone that you might know!

Love to all and Hope to see you all soon!!!!
