My strong, brave, sweet angel girl ♥️ I love you so much.

On Saturday morning at 5:30am Delaney went to the bathroom and suddenly felt lightheaded, then passed out. She took a really bad fall and ended up fracturing her skull in two places leading to some bleeding in her skull. She had what they call an epidural hematoma. They transferred her to UW Health in Madison, WI where they strongly encouraged immediate brain surgery so we made the difficult decision and agreed to the surgery. The surgery was successful and only 24 hours later Delaney had already been on her feet a few times. She stayed one night in the neuro ICU, then they moved her down to the general hospital stay for 3 days.

Today we got the green light and Delaney was discharged by the neuro surgeon.

Del is so strong and staying very positive. We made it back home and got her all settled in. She has some resting to do but we all know a tough road ahead of her isn’t going to hold her back. She’s already talking about how she can’t wait to start teaching her classes and running again.

We are so incredibly grateful for the amazing Dr. Baskaya and all of the wonderful nurses who kept our girl in good health.
