My sister's 6 week old little girl (and our god daughter), Amelia, was born with some complications. She has a cyst or growth in her abdomen that has doubled in size since her birth a short time ago. She also has some kidney complications. Amelia is undergoing surgery today at Children's hospital in Chicago. Erin, Nick, and Jack are staying at a hotel right near the hospital as Amelia will be in the hospital anywhere from 3 days to a week or more, depending on how surgery goes. It is my understanding that we will know more about what the growth is and what is going to happen/how it is going to go once the doctors get in there. Apparently it is growing as part of the wall of one of her organs which could complicate things.
Other than the growth, Amelia is healthy and strong and should tolerate surgery well, but still she is so tiny and I know it is just breaking Nick and Erin's heart! My mom is there with them to help out. To stress them out even more, their beloved dog, Dutch, got very sick on Sunday and is ALSO in surgery today back in Michigan and they had to leave him of course.
But positive thoughts are powerful and I would appreciate some good energy vibes sent their way! ;) Below is the info on Amelia's care page if you would like to see it.
