Tragic news strikes Linus Ullmarks teammate, David Perron's family, and he left the team
Some tragic news has surfaced regarding Linus Ullmark's teammate David Perron's family, and he has left the team.
David Perron's wife Vanessa is going through a difficult pregnancy and is currently in Toronto where she has to undergo a procedure, causing David Perron to leave the Ottawa Senators momentarily.
To keep things short and sweet, their unborn daughter who they have already named Elizabeth Perron, is at a great risk of having complications during birth.
Perron's wife released a statement:
Elizabeth Perron. We decided her name on our way to get a procedure done in Toronto. I needed her to be real before risking to lose her. A couple weeks before at 30 weeks I found out she had a large congenital pulmonary airway malformation. We Shorten our summer and move into a hotel room in order to start a follow up/treatment for our little girl while our new house renovations were on the way. Moving our family accros countries while navigating this diagnosis was not easy.
While in Toronto she got procedure to implant shunts (drain) in her lungs in vitro. We were lucky enough that most of the mass did shrink enough not to put her life in danger while I was still pregnant.
Im finally 37 weeks and that's a big milestone for our little warrior. She will most likely need to go under for a major open surgery at birth. The risks are big. As a mother it is a nightmare to know you are about to give birth and also know what she will have to endure in order to give her a chance to live. You want to keep her safe inside you, because at least she still there. I'm amazed at this new perspective in life. The sick kid parent. It feels very surreal. And it is probably one of the hardest things I've been thru.
I did not share it before because it's hard to give updates as I was trying to stay positive. We are now facing difficult moments for our family and I would like to ask for prayers. Our little Elizabeth will need it. I have hope. She's so strong already.
