The 8th anniversary of Áine's right hemispherectomy
It's hard to believe it was 8 years ago this morning that Miss Áine Clare was in surgery at UCLA Mattel Childrens Hospital under the watchful eye of Sue Yudovin (nurse practitioner) and her surgeon, Dr. Gary Mathern and a whole team of wonderful medical professionals who took tremendously good care of our girl.
The 8th anniversary of Áine's right hemispherectomy
That surgery provided a new life for Áine and our family and for all those whose paths cross Áine's.
She remains ever beautiful, funny, delightful, squirrelly, feisty, and a redhead :o)
For those of you who follow The Madigan Shenanigans, you know this past year has been one of change for Áine. Change helps us grow and grow she does.
Her brain continues to amaze on a daily basis. And rather than see her limitations, one almost forgets them when in the presence of Áine.
So beautiful girl, on this day, as we celebrate you and your accomplishments and all the people who travelled the journey with you, we want you to know how proud of you we are for your perseverance and strength. We love you very much and our lives are forever changed for the better because of you.
