Her mom says:
“What can I say about my daughter Michaela? I think she is the greatest daughter I could ever have! She holds such a special place in my heart – she is motivation for me to be a better person and to be the best mother for her. Life has not been easy for her, but even as a preemie baby she has always melted hearts. She is sweet, joyful, charismatic, relentless and strong. She may not understand the challenges life has thrown at her, but she conquers them; she thrives and all while being a sweetheart. I am in awe of her strength and her joy. In her short 7 years she has undergone more than a dozen brain surgeries, she has spent weeks and even months hospitalized. Most recently I celebrate her for being so successful in her medical diet Modified Atkins for the treatment of seizures. She just does it, its has been 10 months of a strict low carb diet and because of that her seizures are under control! I savor each and every one of her successes and accomplishments because I know she has to work hard for them while enduring things that no child should have to. She is an amazing kiddo and I am so very proud and honored to be her mother.”
