11/ Aaliyah’s Story
Aaliyah was diagnosed with a large high-risk CPAM at the 20 week scan. After steroids didn’t slow down the CPAM’s growth, she developed hydrops and a shunt procedure was performed to drain the mass. She was born symptomatic, had surgery at 2 months old and is now a happy and healthy 20 month old! Her mom shares the family’s story.
