Ilyanna's Story

Christina and Thiago met in 2005 and not exactly a " Wow that's the guy for me scenerio" but after about 6 months of being friends it soon became that. So in August of 2007 they got married. It was like watching 2 people who never took their eyes of each other and then Christina became pregnant. She watched what she ate, Thiago doted on her, and heaven forbid, she gained too much weight on that 100 lb frame of hers.

On August 2, 2008 Christina gave birth to Ilyanna. She weighed in at 10 lbs 1.5 ounces and was 21 inches long. What a beautiful baby she was. She was a big one. The whole family was just hysterical because Christina was so small.

Ilyanna was a great baby. Every parent would wish for one like her. Cried very little..slept through the night after two months of being home and was always happy. Once she started to hear her own voice the louder she became. Always smiling.

The one thing you did notice was the size of Ilyanna's head it was large. Well, her Dad is a big guy with a large head so we just assumed she would grow into it. As she got larger she did. When she went for her regular check-ups her pediatrician was concerned about the size so he sent Ilyanna into Children's Hospital for a cat scan to check for no swelling on the brain. This is where everything began....

Off to the hospital early to have some blood work and have the surgery so that the portcath can be put it. They also are taking some spinyl fluid and some bone marrow. Ilyanna came through with flying colors. When she woke up...she woke up with that beautiful smile of hers on.
All in all it is going to be a long hard battle for Ilyanna but as our family and the Doctors believe if anyone can do Ilyanna can.
We would like to Thank every one for their support and Prayers and please keep up the prayers as we are really going to need them as this progresses.
