Almost two weeks after being mauled by a pack of dogs twelve-year-old Aden Green is still in the hospital.

Aden is making progress at Batson Children’s Hospital.

A family member says the community has helped them tremendously through this difficult time.

According to his family, Aden is a fun and outgoing young boy.

His family member Amber Davis says, “Usually he’s kind of quiet until he warms up, and then he can be pretty sassy.“

His life almost ended when a pack of dogs attacked and mauled the boy while was riding his bike.

Davis says no one ever imagined such a thing could happen.

“He had quite a few stitches and then he has quite a few larger wounds like especially on his legs and his arms.“

Aden is now able to breathe on his own and he is slowly getting his speech back.

“He tried to start talking… we finally understood what he was trying to say. He wanted a coke! So we’re excited to see him wanting something and not being in pain.“

Aden’s cousin Amber Davis started a GoFundMe to help her grandfather with the cost of Aden’s care.

She says people from as far as California donated and she’s almost reached her goal.
