Welcome to Mighty Maddalena!

Hello! We are Kayla and Maddalena. She is my sweet, sassy, fun, and loving five year old. I’m her mama and biggest fan.

We started this page to raise awareness and give hope to other parents who have children with special needs. Maddalena was born premature at 31 weeks gestation. Due to a traumatic birth, she suffered brain damage and a bilateral grade III brain bleed resulting in Ventriculomegaly. At fifteen months old Maddalena was diagnosed with Spastic Diplegia Cerebral Palsy. At four years old Maddalena was diagnosed with autism, intellectual disability, and epilepsy.

At Mighty Maddalena, you’ll find us documenting our journey. We’re so happy to have you here!

As many of you know, I am a mama to a sweet and sassy special needs toddler. At 31 weeks pregnant, I was given the horrible news that my placenta was failing and my daughter was losing oxygen fast. She needed to be taken out emergency c-section.
