went in for scans at the Nicklaus Children’s Hospital in Miami. She was sadly diagnosed with tumors that were growing on her spine and brain.
GOING FOR SURGERY
Camilo’s daughter underwent surgery but more treatment was yet to come because the child had other persisting issues. After the surgery, the time came for doctors to remove her stitches and that’s when they discovered the tumor’s growth “had become pretty aggressive.”
CHEMOTHERAPY FOR MIA
The Villegas were informed treatment had to start immediately but Mia wasn’t physically ready for chemotherapy. Doctors then suggested “baby chemotherapy” for the little girl.
PLAYING WHILE IN PAIN
Even when Mia was in pain from the chemotherapy and crying; she still tried to play, her father revealed. The little girl was the athlete and Maria’s only child together.
CAMILO’S STRONG WIFE
The golfer shared how his wife had been “very, very strong” throughout the ordeal but only because she had no other choice. He explained how he didn’t “want anyone to feel sad for the Villegas family.”
The four-time PGA TOUR winner accepted his child’s death as “our reality” and only asked for “good energy.” Little Mia was born to the Villegas on October 3, 2018.
