The Seahawks are off to an unexpected 0-2 start, but those losses took a back seat for Russell Wilson on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, the signal-caller, both congratulated and criticized for his extensive charity work, and his pop-star girlfriend, Ciara, met with 5-year-old patient Ailynn Arredondo while on a visit to Seattle Children's Hospital. Ailynn asked Wilson if he'd be her godfather. He gladly accepted. On Wednesday, the girl's condition worsened and she succumbed to lymphoblastic leukemia, Seattlepi.com reported. Wilson had been visiting Ailynn since February.
