Our Children’s Stories

Learn more about some of our remarkable patients whom received the gift of childhood from Children's Health and supporters like you.

Jaxon

The pain in his right leg started as a limp Jaxon thought he could walk off, but by the weekend, he had trouble even standing up.

Abby

A victim of online bullying, Abby questioned her worth. 'What if I wasn't here anymore?' she thought. That's when her journey led her to the SPARC program at Children's Health.

Myra

If you spent time with the always-smiling Myra, you’d never believe she was in an unthinkable battle against mixed phenotype acute leukemia for most of her life.

Lylah

Research treatment at Children's Health has allowed Lylah a chance to do ballet and play baseball, even while battling Spinal Muscular Atrophy.

Mitchell

Crossing the finish line at a 5K is something Mitchell wasn't sure he'd ever be able to do. Through physical therapy done at Children's Health, now he's running as much as he can.

Harrison

Fighting cardiomyopathy during COVID-19, Harrison has been waiting patiently for his new heart at Children's Health.

Kepley

Arriving at 24 weeks and five days, Kepley James entered the world at 1 pound and 10 ounces. Still so small that you could see her lungs through the skin on her chest.

Elli

As they peered over the isolette in the NICU, Jennifer and Angie saw past the crooked smile of Elli’s cleft lip and the congenital heart defect and saw a child they loved instantly

Arya

“As of that moment, our lives would never be the same,” Arya's mom said. “I felt strongly that if God had chosen me to care for her, then my job was to do whatever it takes to do exactly that.”

Amelia

Looking at this bubbly 5-year-old, you wouldn’t know she had a complex medical history, and that when she was a baby, the Children’s Health foster clinic saved her life.

Leo and Reagan

Diagnosed with sickle cell disease as babies, brothers Leo and Reagan have learned to live life in pain. And even though the disease is invisible, the pain is real.

Addison

Adopted at birth, Addison suffered from frequent ear infections and severe balance issues, which compromised her hearing and delayed her walking until she was almost 18 months old.

Noah

One of our Halloween-loving patients, Noah, made a special trip to Spirit Halloween to get a behind-the-scenes look at how their spooky animatronics work.

Ava

Ava loves Broadway musicals, is obsessed with sharks and wants to be a marine biologist. And like many people, she hasn’t always liked how she looks.

Camila

Her aunt taught her how to apply blush to accentuate her cheekbones and eyeliner to brighten her eyes. But no one prepared Camila on how to fight cancer.

Davion

A muggy Friday evening in late May, wearing a polyester blue gown over a shirt and tie, is not the stuff of teenage dreams. But this day was 18-year-old Davion's dream.

Finley

“We’d sang her a million-and-one songs trying to put her to bed or rock her to sleep at night, and she’d never heard any of it,” Finley's mom said. “She’d never even heard us say, ‘I love you.’”

Rome

Her future was bright. The sky was the limit. Until one day last December when it almost all came crashing down.

Obie

Elaine, mother of four, doesn’t take for granted the chance to rock her youngest, Obie. For almost the first two months of life, Elaine couldn’t hold him. An incubator at Children’s Health was his crib.

Eli

“I want Eli to have a normal life,” Eli's dad said. “And the only thing I want to be different about him is the scar on his chest, which is a badge of honor for going through what he did.”

Jacob

Friends and neighbors of PGA golfer John Senden used to ask how to improve their golf game when they’d see him. Now, they want to know how his 15-year-old son is doing.

Zena

For six months, a Children’s Health hospital room adorned with cutouts of butterflies, hearts and unicorns has been a temporary home for 2-year-old Zena and her mom, Kenda.

Hanna

During her journey at Children's Health, Hanna collected more than 700 Beads of Courage to represent different milestones or treatments, more than any other patient in the trauma program.
