Little Maddie Whipp is about to go home for the first time to West Virginia after showing everyone she is a fighter.
Maddie was referred to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital to see about surgery to repair her duodenal atresia. In that same timeframe, Maddie, still in utero, was found to have hydrops fetalis, which is where there is fluid retention in the body. Maddie’s lungs were found to have collapsed due to fluid in her lungs. Her neonatal care team tried unsuccessfully to insert a shunt to drain her lungs.
However, Kylen said their local high risk care provider eventually contacted them and explained her hydrops seemed to be improving. But despite all the surgeries, Maddie has continued fighting for her life and improves as the days go by.
