We have a wonderful support group on Yahoo called AAI, I'll put out an email to Val and everyone to be alerted about your baby.

My Shelby has AAI with several other congenital defects but she had a successful surgery 1.9 months ago. She innocently slipped off the couch, went into a seizure. My life stopped at that point all I could think of and focus was her. She was rushed to the ER just 5 mins away, then the next day to Akron Emergency Hospital, wasnt pleased with his laid back attitude. Then became acquainted with Metropolitan Hospital and Dr Tod Axlund. What a God send he and his staff during this time.

Please have hope, she will get through surgery. Actually Gucci weights 1lb more then Shelby at the time of surgery. These Neurosurgeons who are experienced in this surgery know what they are doing. If you would like you can email Dr. Axlund for a referral to where your going. He is know across the states. There are only a few of them. Or I can contact him for you.

We are here for you, will stand by you while you and Gucci go through this. Please have hope, we pray together, light candles, and will give you our experience to carry you though!

God BLess and protect you both, may he encircle his loving arms around you and give you strengh

The yorkie community has supported me and lynn with so much love and comfort, that I could never say Thanks enough. My prayer has been for healing to occur, so I can rise up and be a support for anyone else facing this diagnosis. Our precious Ellie ministered to so many of us on earth - and I am positive she would want me to continue her story in some way to be still positive and encouraging for what we can all overcome. I cherish each of you in my life thru Ellie.
Now Gucci- we are here for you and we cheer you along to good health soon.

You are both very special people with such strength and beautiful hearts. Your needed support is wonderful, and it gives a great deal of hope for AAI babies and their families. Fifilame, my thoughts and prayers are with you and Gucci. I truly hope her surgery goes well tomorrow.
