Why Aaron Counts:
Aaron is always smiling. His laughter lights up our lives. He is special and touches the hearts of everyone that meets him. Aaron has been through countless operations in his life he is now 13 and was diagnosed when he was 11 but through all that he has been through he is still smiling. He has the biggest blue eyes ever seen and they tell you exactly what his needs are and even though he cannot talk his eyes tell you. He is a gift that we will treasure forever!!!!!!
Favorite Hobbies:
Aaron adores Barney (who doesn’t) Rosie and Jim Tots, TV and game shows such as The Price Is Right and many more. He loves photos and people.
Proudest Accomplishment:
Aaron underwent major hip surgery when he was 10 years old rebuilding of his hip sockets using donor bone and was in a broomstick cast for 7 weeks, he was golden and although at times he was uncomfortable he never moaned. God Bless Him
MPS Heroes:
Dr. Chris Hendriksz, Joy Hardy and all the team at Birmingham Children’s Hospital in the UK. Victoria School staff and nurses are amazing and adore him and he adores them. They are Angels!!!!!
Words of Wisdom:
Always trust yourself. You know your child/children. Listen to yourself and believe. If you don’t fight for your child no one else will. They are our Angels from Heaven and you are their Angels. Care for them help them keep them safe and well but most of all love them. Their love is unconditional they deserve the best you can give!!!!
Personal Diagnosis Experience:
Aaron was diagnosed with MPS III when he was 11 years old, after a oversight when he was 3 years old. He was diagnosed with delayed speech learning difficulties and behavioral problems which lead to a diagnosis of Autism. After many years of battling with the authorities they repeated the test for MPS and came up with the horrid diagnosis of MPS III.
