Meet Emilia!

Taking Life One Little Step at a Time

Emilia is a strong and sweet girl! She has spent much of her young life in the hospital. Emilia has some big challenges ahead, and her doctors are working hard to figure out exactly what she needs to help her grow stronger. She is being followed by the transplant team at Jackson Health System as her family prepares for the possibility of a liver transplant in the future. Her care team is also helping her with nutrition and gaining the weight she needs to grow.

At home, Emilia is surrounded by plenty of love! Her parents are balancing life with three other children while making sure their littlest girl gets the specialized care she needs. They are exploring different treatment options and seeking additional medical opinions.

Her journey is only just beginning, and there is still so much ahead for this sweet girl. For now, Emilia is spending time with her family and everyone is cheering her on as she takes her next little steps forward.
