Aeniah was 4 years old when she adopted from Russia. As a baby she contracted Polio which left her lower limbs weakend. She wears braces on her legs to help her walk. The fact that she is walking is a miracle.
In 2014 Aeniah was having issues with double vision and went in for an MRI which revealed a kiwi-sized brain tumor. Immediately she went into surgery to remove the tumor. Aeniah was in the hospital for 30 days. Thankfully the tumor was benign and slow-growing. 1% had to be left behind because it was too close to the cerebellum to chance taking that portion out. She will continue to have an MRI every 3 months for 1-2 years, and once a year for the rest of her life to monitor what to remaining portion.
Aeniah’s tumor was located in the mobility portion of her brain so again, her mobility became an issue, but she has made a remarkable recovery and is back to her old self. She’s even hopped back on her scooter!
It is clear Aeniah is a special girl here for a purpose.
