OUR LIL SUPERHERO FOREVER AARON DEANDRE'E HUNTER 07/10/1998-12/10/2004

Aaron DeAndre'e Hunter 7/10/1998-12/10/2004

Welcome to Aaron DeAndre'e Hunter's website. For those of you who don't know Aaron has been through alot this far. He was diagnosed with neuroblastoma stage 4 on September 27, 2002. His tumor was 17 x 21 inches at that time. He left for St. Jude on October 2, 2002 and had 1 dose of chemo there and then was transfered back to St. Francis in Peoria to finish his next five doses of chemo. He did very well with all his chemo and came back to St. Jude on Feburary 9, 2003 to have scans and tests done. They showed his tumor responded very well to the chemo and had shrunk to 4 x 3 inches. He then had surgery to remove the tumor on Feburary 18, 2003. Now he is ready for his transplant which is scheduled for April 28, 2003. Aaron has been our Superhero and has fought a very hard battle this far and he is going to make it through this with the help of all the doctors and grace of God and all the prayers from all our family and friends. Well we made it through the toughest part of this whole thing and we are slowing down on this roller coaster hopefully about to get off soon. Thank you all for visiting this web page and please sign the guestbook anytime.
Well just a new note Aaron has relapsed as of November 7, 2003. It's back in his bone marrow and we are on for the ride of our lives. We know God carried us through the first time and he will see us through this time. The first phase is to get more chemo 8-10 rounds all high dose and then possibly another bone marrow transplant from one of the brothers. Please pray that is possible I will update as often as possible. Please keep all those thoughts and prayers coming and we will be doing the same.
Our LiL Superhero made it this far and we arent giving up yet!!!!

Well we didn't give up without a fight and neither did Aaron. Our LiL Superhero WON his battle on Friday December 10, 2004. He fought a long and hard battle but with the GRACE of GOD he WON the ultimate prize!!!!

Love you all
Andre'e I, Marilyn, Andre'e II, Antavious, and Aaron

Ok I sure hope you all are ready for a much needed UPDATE!!!!

I just noticed I still had up a Christmas background. Guess that was honestly the last holiday we celebrated with Aaron and I just couldn't bring myself to update since then :(

Well as most of you know by now I have quit school for now that is. I plan on going back someday but just not sure when quite yet. Honestly I think I have found my TRUE TRUE calling nursing isn't it. A TEACHER!!!!! I absolutely LOVE kids. I loved being a teacher at Rogy's before Aaron got sick. I have been doing some major thinking about it and see a huge need for AWESOME teachers like everyone at Northmoor. I just want to give back a piece of what was given to our family while Aaron was sick touch lives like ours were touched and keep Aaron's spirit alive in all who knew him. GOD I miss my LiL Superhero!!!!!

Well now onto how things have been for the last few months. Basically things have been kinda hectic. I had went through another breakdown not sure why but honestly I think it has something to do with the kids Dad. He finally broke down about Aaron as well as other things and it really hit me too. Got me thinking man why on God's Heaven and Earth am I still even here why can't I just be free from all this heartache and pain. I want Aaron back I want all my family back together and then GOD made me realize Aaron is in such a WONDEROUS place he allowed me to get touched by an ANGEL/SUPERHERO on earth to get my life right to be with Aaron in the end!!!! As most of you have probably read already I was with a young girl who took her last breaths with me by her side on top of loosing my son to cancer I have to say that was one of the most HORRIFIC accidents I have ever seen. I really think that is why I can't be a nurse. After seeing all that blood and stuff I am sickened by blood now. It brings back tragic memories. I feel so awful for her family. I have said many many times GOD allowed me to know Aaron was dying and I am so grateful he did. I don't think I could have handled a tragic death like that and not know that was the last time I would see my child. I say over and over again thank you GOD for blessing me with cancer and not an accident or tragic death.

Well anyway we are all doing good. I officially have all teenage boys in the house now. On April 11th Antavious turned the big 13!!!! Now I will forever be BROKE!!!! I took them to Burlington Iowa to Fun City. We had a blast. It was sooooo much fun and much needed. Before the trip I found my changer(FINALLY) for my video camera and decided to see what footage I had. I have been searching for the video of Aaron and his final days but couldn't find it. But did run across video of the boys at their school plays. It was so cute seeing them all little and chubby. It brought back so many memories. Good and bad of course because Aaron never got to do those kind of things and I was so mad because I still can't find the video of him. Well anyway it was so cute seeing them all dressed up and singing with friends they have went to school with for years. They even enjoyed watching it because it made them realize how much they have grown up as have many of their friends!!!! CUTE CUTE!!!!

Before I left on our trip I talked to Nikki Zach's mom. I haven't seen or spoke with her in a VERY VERY long time. I miss our times together with and without our babies!!!! Anyway she said she had video footage of us all together at Disney.(I still want a copy of that) But I knew I had some too somewhere I just couldn't find it anywhere it wasn't on any videos I found before our trip. Anyway I went away with the boys and Grandma and we had a BLAST!!!! I watched little boys playing with their mommies and man it brought me to tears but I just knew I had my sons with me and we were playing and having fun too just not all three of them. It is fun but hard for me to go to waterparks without Aaron since he LOVED them so much he was like a fish but a superhero fish of course!!!! :} Anyway after we got home mom wanted to fill some picture frames she got while in Iowa. So I went searching through my scrapbook stuff looking for paper and stickers for the photos. While going through the box guess what I find.... Aaron's video of his final days. So I popped it in the camera and started watching it on the TV. Wow honestly this is the very first time I have watched a video of him since he died. It is very very hard to look at pictures much less watch a video. It was so WONDERFUL seeing his precious face and hearing that squeaky voice. I will never forget all the support and love our family was shown those final days with him here on earth. I will be forever grateful to all of you but WOW oh WOW!!! Just typing this is causing the faucet to FLOW!!!! The one part that stood out the most was the very first Santa Claus that came to the house the same day he got out of the hospital he was so life like. An amazing man he loved on Aaron and even got on the floor and played with his toys with him. Anyway Aaron only wanted his hat, gloves, and sack of goodies. He let Aaron play Santa and Aaron looked in the camera with that precious toothless grin and said HO HO HO Merry Cwismas(yes I spelled it wrong on purpose because that's just how he said it). That precious boy could melt any heart especially mine. I will forever and ever have that memory in my mind Aaron playing as Santa. What an amazing boy. Then after that came on the day Mayor Ransburg made December 10, an honary day in the city of Peoria. He came to Northmoor and presented us with a proclamation and the whole school released balloons to Aaron(orange and purple of course). A lady of Valeska Hinton School Aaron's old school came and sang the song I beleive I can fly. Wow that was so powerful. My brother was video taping it and he did a few shots of all the kids singing and they were even crying. They loved Aaron just as much as we did/do. Anyway after she sang we went outside and released oh hundreds of balloons to heaven for Aaron. I cried so hard it was like reliving that day all over again. I miss him soooooo much. I am so happy GOD allowed me to find that video it was just in the right time. THANK YOU GOD!!!!

Well after that I remembered I bought a book EVERYONE has been talking about called 90 minutes in Heaven by Don Piper. Now that is a totally AWESOME book to read. This is about a man who died for 90 minutes and was left to die but went to heaven for those 90 minutes and can tell you amazing stories of heaven and what it will be like. I am so glad I know my baby is in heaven WOW can't wait to get there to be with him. You all HAVE to read this book. I honestly NEVER EVER NEVER read and I read the whole thing in 2 days. I have always wondered what honestly heaven was like would my son get any bigger would he look the same would I remember him. Well you better believe I will and he will be waiting for his mommy at the gate to give me big hugs and kisses and it will be as if we were never apart. WOW can't wait for that day.

Well I hope to update pictures soon and hope you all enjoyed the update!!!!

Talk to you all very soon and thanks soooo much for checking in on us,

Marilyn Mommy to Our LiL Superhero Forever Aaron
