Milo ’s Story

Site created on June 17, 2020

Milo is a warrior baby who had a stroke at birth that caused a right MCA brain injury. In addition to this life altering diagnosis, he was also diagnosed with an unrelated progressive liver disease, called PFIC. He is our tiny hero who is always smiling despite dealing with these internal battles.

This page was created to keep family and friends updated periodically in one place. Due to COVID, Milo has not been able to meet a great amount of his extended family. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement.

Thank you for visiting.

Journal entry by Mariah Ramirez

“You have been assigned this mountain to show others it can be moved.” ✨💛

Pandemic aside, 2020 threw us the biggest obstacle of our lives. We welcomed Milo into this world, yet, we were immediately robbed of those first special moments every new parent should feel.⁣

Milo continues to climb this uphill battle 9 months later, after being diagnosed with a stroke, brain injury, and a genetic liver disease. He has been climbing it with ease though. He starts every day with the sweetest smile, and is learning so much. At times I forget he ever faced such adversity since he has accomplished so much in his short life. ⁣

Whenever we see him learn something new with beaming excitement, it’s almost as if Marco and I are experiencing it for the first time all over again too. We look forward to continuing to unravel the resilience of our Mighty Milo in 2021. ⁣

Thank you for following along in this journey with us, and for your endless love and support. Here’s to hoping 2021 helps Milo reach continuous improvement. Happy New Year!
