A Supportive Family
Cesar speaks about the miracle that is his sister’s recovery. “For us, every day is a miracle,” he explained. She was given some Botox injections to help her with her facial muscles. “She also ate a lollipop, although she doesn’t open her mouth, she still managed to eat it,” Cesar exclaimed, feeling very happy to his sister gain her senses.
Santino’s 1st Birthday
When Santino’s birthday came, the whole Bannan family was filled with optimism. This day was celebrated with multiple photos posted of Amelia Bannan and Santino spending time together. He loved to see his sister finally able to take care of her son, holding him and kissing him.
A Community Effort
The San Pedro community held 3 festivals to help pay for Amelia’s medical bills and even rented her an apartment. Cesar and Norma wished for her to finally breathe in fresh air so the community raised money for an orthopedic wheelchair. “We are very grateful,” Cesar expressed, “They were with us from the beginning because everything demands a lot of expenses.”
A Miracle
The Bannan family was sure that Santino was to blame for his mother’s recovery. He was the reason why she could wake up even after the doctors treating her were sure she would never regain consciousness. The love and support that her whole family showed also played a major factor.
Christmas
Christmas time would definitely be one of the most important time for this family. Christmas is actually Santino’s birthday. Here, in the image, we see Amelia and her son spending time together and spreading the holiday cheer. Having Amelia home and celebrating her son’s birthday must be one of the best gifts that the family received this Christmas.
Victorious
One emotional photo of Amelia Banna would have to be her holding Santino, her miracle boy, while she was in her police uniform. This photo was taken at the Municipal Sports Center of San Vicente to honor Amelia, her miraculous recovery, and her work at the Argentinian police department.
