Getting an X-ray taken can be a little scary even for adults, so when one Mississippi mom had to bring her 3-year-old son in for an x-ray, she let him take in his favorite toy to keep him company.
On September 24, 2012, Leslie Jeffus gave birth to her son Aiden, however, doctors soon realized, the tiny baby was born with a congenital heart defect called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, which means he only had half of a heart.
Because of his heart condition, Aiden has already had three open-heart surgeries, the last of which he is currently recovering from. Every morning, the hospital has to take an X-ray of the three-year-old’s chest to check his progress.
Aiden, who is an avid fan of Toy Story, never goes anywhere without his toy Woody doll, and when it came time for his X-ray, Leslie decided to let him take Woody along. Not only does Aiden take woody with him for all his treatments, but he makes sure Woody is pictured in every scan.
