infection and was transported to Christiana Hospital for further treatment

in her intestines called Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC). On September 30th

the underwens surgery to remove the infected part of her intestine and was

given an ostomy bag. After many ups and downs, and a month of struggling to tolerate her feedings, Syriana went back to surgery November 19th to reverse

her previous surgery, Syriana was finally able to go home the day before

Thanksgiving 2008 Today, she is an active, lovng, and smart little girl!

When my daughter came into this world, she fought harder than anyone I’ve ever known—three times over, we almost lost her. Each moment reminded me how precious her life truly is, and how much strength and grace she carries in her spirit. Watching her grow into the incredible young woman she’s become has been the greatest gift I could ever receive. As she turns 18, I want to celebrate not only the milestone she’s reached but the miracle that she is. That’s why I’ve planned a special surprise—something she truly deserves—a car of her own, to carry her into this next chapter of life with the freedom and independence she’s earned every step of the way.

There were moments, before she ever took her first real steps, when we didn’t know if we’d even get the chance to watch her grow up. She fought her way back with a strength that still amazes me. From the very beginning, she showed us what resilience looks like. Watching her grow into the person she is today—strong, kind, determined—has been one of the greatest gifts of my life. As she stands on the edge of adulthood, about to turn 18, I wanted to do something that reflects not just how far she’s come, but how much she deserves the road ahead. So tonight isn’t just about celebrating her birthday—it’s about celebrating her journey, her strength, and the incredible future waiting for her. If you have encouraging words you'd like to share, please don't hesitate to. Thank you for reading. Be humble, be kind, and stay prayed up. ✨️
