Today I would like to share a story with you about my cousin Rylie.




Rylie was just 2 weeks old when her parents , found out she had a rare brain malformation called hemimegalencephaly or HME. With this condition, one side of the brain is much larger than the other and victims are troubled by seizures.
Rylie underwent a complex, but successful, surgery to remove the right side of her brain, allowing her to live without seizures. Rylie has disabilities, but she can walk and play.




Next Saturday is Rylie's birthday. She will be 11 years old. So blessed to still have her here with us today!!




Next stop on the hop is Lisa ~ http://handmadewithlove-lisa.blogspot.com/ . She has a wonderful Miracle story to share with you.
