Callie was born in August of 2005. She was diagnosed
in-utero with a condition called DiGeorge
Syndrome. This means a piece of chromasome 22 is missing. This
can cause all kinds of havoc with the body. Because of this, Callie
currently suffers from a heart defect called Pulmonary Atresia with
a VSD and mulitple aorto pulmonary collateral arteries (PA VSD MAPCAs).
With this, she also is missing her thymus and has some other complications.
Callie was sent home to die from Atlanta hospitals at 2 months old.
A man at Stanford has created a procedure called a unifocalization
to try to save Callie. Callie will be two years old in August and
will be going back to Stanford in CA for a third heart surgery.
God has had his hand on her and she is already a miracle. Despite
her "syndrome" and heart defect, Callie is a fat, vibrant
baby and we rejoice.
