Meet Mila and Maxen – Our CMN Miracle Children of the Month

Every month we showcase a miracle child from the Yakima Memorial Foundation's CMN Miracle Families.

This month, we have two from the same family.

Mila and Maxen Milden are brother/sister with similar stories.

Mila Milden was born October 24, 2012 at 35 weeks. She ended up spending 21 days in the NICU.

As usual with the NICU and the team of nurses, they showed unwavering support and guidance to her parents.

Mila is now 12 years old and enjoys reading as well as studying art and technology in school.

Very creative and smart with straight A's.

She's also a very talented pianist and shines as a dedicated club soccer defender.

Mila dreams of using her art designs to support charitable causes.

Mila's brother, Maxen, was born August 27, 2016 at 34 weeks.

He spent 14 days in the NICU. Even though they've been through it before, it brought familair emotions but the same, warm, compassionate care from the NICU nurses. Many of the nurses were also there during Mila's stay.

Maxen is now in 2nd grade and doing very well in school.

He loves reading and is great at math.

Like his sister, he's also a sports enthusaist and loves soccer, basketball, and baseball.

Both showed resilience and spirit at and early age that continues to this day.

We love hearing stories like Mila and Maxen. We have more CMN Miracle Family of the Month as well you can catch up on.
