From her base in Maryland, where she is deciding whether or not to begin a new course of treatment options, Vicky Phelan posted a heartfelt birthday message to her daughter Amelia

"Today, August 30, 2021 marks the 16th birthday of my firstborn, my daughter, Amelia," Phelan posted on her Instagram page on Monday.  "She won't actually be 16 until 17.50 today so I'm a little early with the post but hey who's counting the hours!"
