Elevated Adventures Await Wish Kid in Gatlinburg
LINDENHURST, Ill. (May 2023): Kinsley loves being outdoors, and carries special memories of hiking with her family in the Tennessee mountains. Being surrounded by the beauty of Gatlinburg’s mountainous terrain filled her with wonder, and she longed to go back to her happy place. Kids Wish Network made it possible with Pack & Go egiftcards that her family can use for lodging, airfare, food and gas. They also provided her family with the means to cover Kinsley’s dream getaway, along with fun extras including Domino’s gift cards. Kinsley can once again experience the magic she felt in the mountains, and create more treasured memories with all of her new elevated adventures.
Even before she was born, doctors became aware that Kinsley had a large mass in her abdomen. Complications quickly escalated, and at two months old, she was rushed to the ER. Testing revealed she had an ovarian mass with torsion (twisting) that harmfully impacted one of her ovaries. She underwent emergency surgery to have it removed, and since the cystis bilateral, Kinsley will continue to be tested to ensure it doesn’t spread into her remaining ovary. Before her surgery, it was also discovered that she had a hole in her heart and murmur. These health concerns are also being monitored to see if they heal on their own or require surgery.
Many Thanks
