Aiden Torres from Ulster County was born on Thanksgiving 2009 with Gastroschesis (Intestines outside of his body) and remained in Albany Medical Center's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit since his birth. After finally being released on March 22, 2010 after a 117 day stay, he was re-admitted for 23 more days undergoing more surgery and procedures. He thankfully dodged his last surgery after internal bleeding stopped.

Due to Aiden's condition, normal childhood ailments may cause problems for him and he will be monitored closely by doctors.

06-22-2010 Message from mom To Lieutenant Karam (ACCFCB's Liaison w/ family):

Hi Lt. Karam,

I am sorry I haven't kept in touch since Aiden has been home.  We have had many doctors appointments and he is doing very well....Slowly but surely we are getting back on our feet.  Eddie's parents have helped us a lot with settling back in. But I can't thank you, John and ACCFCB enough for the help while Aiden was at AMC.

Both you and John will be amazed how "normal" he looks.  My friends look at him and can't even tell he has been through so much. Yesterday we were watching what we taped on our video camera, of when I was in labor up to when we left the NICU. I have to say, it brought tears to everyone. Eddie J, Dawn, Eddie C, and I will make it a point to be at the Golf Banquet. So we will all see you there, and Aiden of course.

I attached some current photos of Aiden.
