Kylee was born at 27 weeks gestation and only weighed 2 lbs 4 oz. She had heart surgery at 1 day old to close a hole in her heart. She developed grade 3 brain bleeds and required a shunt to be placed. By 10 months old she had had 4 shunt surgeries. Kylee acquried a staff infection, spinal menegitis, and a rare yeast infection in her shunt. Kylee has overcome so much and is currently doing great! Kylee is not defined by cerebral palsy, hydrocephalus or delays- she is smart, cheerful and has a great sense of style (she wanted to wear the pink shirt and sparkle shoes)!
