Sweet Princess. It is with heavy hearts that we share that she passed away in the wee hours just past midnight.
Yesterday morning, she came through her open heart surgery with no apparent complications. By afternoon, the medical team was already discussing plans for her next procedure in 6 months following her expected recovery. The US host family spent time with her mother, Fabiola, to offer support throughout the day.
Yet sometime during the night Princess slipped away. We are confident that the medical team did everything they could for her, but we understand that she was critical due to the nature of her surgery.
Tomorrow TRTP VP, Sonya, her children, and a friend will be visiting Princess's mother, Fabiola, to comfort her in any way possible. We are framing the photos that we took of mom and baby 2 days ago and giving them as a gift. We treasure these photos and hope that Fabiola's family will too.
If you pray, please say a prayer for the family who is in deep mourning. If you think positive thoughts, please send your energy to them. The mother, father and grandmother's separation from one another at this time must be unbearable.
Gifts in both Princess and Jacob's memory are gratefully accepted. With these gifts we will continue to provide hippotherapy for children with disabilities. Thank you as always for your support for all parents that grieve the loss of a child.
