Miss Mimi - a Health Update

We have some unfortunate, yet hopeful news. On Thursday evening Miss Mimi got sick and it was discovered that she had a brain aneurysm rupture. She was airlifted to Fairfax Hospital and underwent two successful surgeries - the first to drain fluid and the second to repair the aneurysm.

She was extubated on Saturday and is breathing on her own, talking, and eating. Her husband said “from nose to toes, she’s in perfect condition. Her brain just needs time to heal.”

She will be in Fairfax Hospital for at least the next two to three weeks, as she recovers.

How can you help:

• We are in the process of putting a fundraiser together to help cover Mimi’s mounting expenses, so please be on the lookout for that. mon

• We are going to have the kids draw photos and send videos to cheer Miss Mimi up while she is in the hospital

• Keep Mimi in your thoughts and send her well wishes, prayers, and positive energy

We will be sharing the news, in an age appropriate way, with the kids at the center, as they have already felt her absence in just two open days.
