Mila was a natural born athlete who was playing hockey 2 days before diagnosis. With all that has happened to her she has pushed herself to relearn all the sports she loves like hockey and soccer. She laughs at all silly things and has an infectious smile. She is shy at first but will come out of her shell in time. She loves her family and brothers more than anything and always comments how thankful she is that God gave her to us.
In January of 2016, Mila was diagnosed with a brain tumor. She had been experiencing headaches and was lethargic. Treatment has included tumor resection, radiation to the brain and spine, surgery to insert a port-o-cath for chemotherapy and a gtube for feeding, chemotherapy, and eye surgery. As a result of the cancer and treatment, Mila has experienced hearing loss and poor balance and coordination (that she works with a physiotherapist to correct).
Cancer has immensely changed our lives. We have been on an emotional roller coaster ride that has resulted in all three of our kids feeling depressed and anxious but, through it all, we have also grown closer.
