info_outlineIn this episode, Keela shares her story about her son’s rare pulmonary hemorrhage at birth.
“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” -Albert Einstein
**UPDATE from Keela (6/20/16):
“Since we’ve last chatted, Calian is doing well. We have learned Calian’s left lung is not functioning or growing with him. This is causing asymmetry of his chest and pushing his heart over, which may cause issues over time. However, his right lung is healthy as ever and is growing large to compensate for his left. He also has some developmental delays, but catches up in his own time. We still do not know the cause for his lung hemorrhage, but the doctors continue to keep a close eye on him and his lung growth.
“Despite these abnormalities, one can live fully well off just one lung. We are happy to report that Calian is healthy and very active, he is strong and we know whatever may come his way he will continue to push through it. He is the sweetest little lover and we are truly thankful for our miracle boy Cal Cal everyday. We are also fortunate to share that we gave birth to a healthy baby girl, and Calian is now a big brother to his one-year-old sister Elora.”
