Ashlyn Julian is a sweet little baby from Olathe, Kansas that was born on May 16. Her parents Gina and Jared Julian, who also have three other children, say that Ashlyn isn't a big crier, so when she started crying and spitting up, they knew something was wrong and rushed her to the hospital.
They were told that Ashlyn had suffered a seizure and that she had an aneurysm that had already bled twice. Absolutely terrifying!

The aneurysm was in the middle of Ashyn's brain. She is still so small and every drop of blood is precious. An aneurysm is caused by the weakening of an artery wall. Operating on a child that is so young is very dangerous and aneurysms in infants are so rare that there aren't even surgical tools small enough for doctors to use.
Ashlyn's superstar doctor, Dr. KojiEbersole, and his superstar team came through with a very clever and amazing solution. They used the smallest adult catheter available with a micro-wire inside of it and maneuvered all the way from Ashlyn's hip to the spot in her brain where the aneurysm was and deposited a drop of sterilized superglue to stop the bleeding. And it worked!
Ashlyn is expected to make a full recovery and her parents are beyond grateful. "You can't even say thank you. I mean thank you is not enough, but thank you," Gina said.
I am so impressed by Dr. Ebersole and his team. I want to go give each and every one of them a big giant hug. Their outside-the-box and rapid thinking saved this little girl's life. I wish her a long, happy, and healthy life.
