Danielle Milian Loses Her Infant Son Hours After Birth Christina Milian’s sister, Danielle Milian , suffered a tragic loss earlier today, as her infant son, born in the early hours of Wednesday morning, passed away just hours after his birth. The reality star shared an excited message once her baby was born, noting that he was ready to take on the odds of a condition he was already facing: Unfortunately, shortly after Danielle’s son entered the world, he passed away from complications due to a condition he was diagnosed with while in the womb. Via USweekly : Richie was diagnosed with omphalocele — a life-threatening condition where organs form outside the body — during an ultrasound in March. “The tech said, ‘I can’t see the sex…because I am seeing…intestines,’” the Christina Milian Turned Up star recalled, explaining that her son’s stomach, gallbladder, spleen, and liver could be seen outside his torso. “I was told there’s almost a 53 percent chance of mortality.” Doctors advised Milian and her husband, Richard Dickerson, to terminate the pregnancy — but they decided to give their baby boy a chance at life. “I said to [Richard], ‘Could you live with this?’ Because I know can. I know I could be in a hospital every day,” she told Us. “As a mother, I will do whatever it takes for my child…No matter how long he has in this world, I could not imagine taking his chance away.” However despite her determination, Richie wasn’t able to survive outside the womb. Danielle shared a mournful message to Instagram letting everyone know her son wasn’t able to beat the odds. Truly sad news. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Milian family at this time.
