CopperRose Keona was delivered a few weeks early in February 2013 because it was believed she had intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). It seemed CK had new health issues every other day. CopperRose was diagnosed with Trisomy 18, or Edwards Syndrome, 22 days after birth. She had several long hospital stays in her first seven months of life. CK finally came home without any issues in September 2013 until June 2014 when she was diagnosed with hepatoblastoma. Our Pineapple Princess started the first cycle of chemotherapy and had her second dose before she became an Angel in July 2014. CopperRose's gummy smile and laugh melted hearts and many wanted to nibble on her marshmallow arms or squeeze those chunky monkey cheeks. Thank you for choosing us to be your parents, we love and miss you so much!
