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....
The whole family was so excited yesterday that Ily finally came home.I think that was probably just being a little selfish of us because that is where we wanted her to be.Everyone of us knew she was still very ill but she was closer to us.
Christina said it was harder than she thought it was going to be. Ilyanna was not peeing like she should and had a small temperature. She was not even SMILING !!
The Visiting nurse came and she called Children's Hospital and Ily was dehydrated and by the time they got there her temperature was even higher. They decided to admit her back in.
The last report I got from Ily's Grand mom at 8 pm was they had done blood tests,given her fluids,but she has yet gone pee at all. Her temperature has come down.
So please..put her in your prayers. If anything new comes about I will add it to the blog.
I am praying for your beautiful baby that she will get stronger and be healed from this terrible disease.
