At only 15 years old, Heather was diagnosed with stage IV metastatic Ewing’s sarcoma and began treatment at our Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center. Heather recently completed her Master of Public Health at Emory’s Rollins School of Public Health. Seated in the front row? The same doctor who saw her through a double bone marrow transplant: Dr. Karen Wasilewski. Today, Heather is cancer-free and works as a research coordinator for the same program that saved her life. (Editorial note: This photo was captured in the months before the COVID-19 pandemic began.)

When life handed 10-year-old Dakota lemons, she did more than make lemonade.

A donation to support pediatric cancer research.
At just 10 months old, Ansley was diagnosed with leukemia. Throughout her nearly four years of treatment, Ann, one of her nurses, became part of her extended family.

After a bedside math lesson, the high school senior was acing her homework like a mathlete.

Nathan's heart defect went undiagnosed until after his sixth birthday. When other experts said the defect was not treatable, our Heart Center team—including Drs. Bauser-Heaton, Petit and Subi—thought otherwise. Three years later, the repair work on his left pulmonary artery is still working beautifully. Inspired by his care team, this 11-year-old plans to return to Children's as a pediatric cardiologist.

This summer, two dogs attacked Joslyn while she was walking in her neighborhood. She’s since spent twelve weeks at Egleston and undergone nearly 20 surgeries. While she works to regain the ability to speak, creating music through instruments has allowed her to express herself and find unexpected joy. This week, Gibson surprised Joslyn with her very own guitar—just in time for her to take home.
On Saturday, the parents of a child battling leukemia in our Aflac Cancer & Blood Disorders Center put this sign in their yard. When their porch camera showed activity near the sign, they watched as neighborhood kids decided to donate their own candy to the child behind the door. In the words of the patient’s mom, “If the parents of anyone who did this sees this, please tell them how much it means to us and our kiddos.”
Born at 30 weeks, identical twins Cora and Miller know a thing or two about strength. Between stays in the NICU and our Heart Center, the sisters hadn't seen each other for more than 200 days. When they reunited in our Cardiac Intensive Care Unit, instinctive eye gazing gave way to hand holding... and nary a dry eye in the room.

Remember David, our “ICU Grandpa?” After we posted a photo of him tending to a tiny patient in 2017, the story of his kindness was shared all over the world. Last week, our teams learned David has stage IV pancreatic cancer. To honor this hospital legend, who spent nearly 15 years tending to little ones in our intensive care units, our staff organized a drive-by parade outside of his home. Led by one of our NICU transport trucks, a procession of nearly 30 cars—some carrying Children’s employees, some carrying patients who had been soothed by David many years ago—honked, waved and shared well wishes as his family gathered in their driveway. For a grand finale, a Children’s transport helicopter circled over his home, an emotional tribute to a man who has dedicated his retirement years to watching over our kids. In the words of David’s grandkids, “We didn’t know everyone passing by, but we felt so connected to them. All the kids he’s cared for and the employees he’s formed friendships with—he loves them like they were his own. And we felt that same love from them today.”
Since 1980, the Children's Christmas Parade has grown to be the largest holiday parade in the Southeast and the official beginning of the holiday season in Atlanta.

While COVID-19 dominates headlines, remember other viruses are also circulating—and they can wreak havoc on little ones’ respiratory systems. For Shepard, a recent bout with bronchiolitis resulted in a four-day hospital stay that required oxygen and a feeding tube. Let Shepard’s story be a reminder to not let your guard down this holiday season: wash your hands frequently, wear a mask, get your flu shot and watch your distance. Little things make a big impact, especially for little ones who depend on us to keep them safe.

Christmas came early for Reid: After three long months of waiting, he finally got to meet his baby brother, Rhett.
Nine years ago, Anna made a special delivery of dreidels and menorahs to a family friend who was receiving treatment in our Aflac Cancer & Blood Disorders Center. Last night, the tradition continued. Knowing what it's like to be a kid in the hospital after undergoing surgery this summer, Anna wanted to bring love and light to our halls in advance of the first night of Hanukkah.
These days, a single cough or sniffle can leave one feeling anxious. If your child has concerning respiratory symptoms, please call your pediatrician to discuss before going to a hospital, emergency department or urgent care. https://www.choa.org/covidorflu
Last week, twins Journee and Justice spent their first Thanksgiving together at home—a memory made possible by our cutting-edge surgical teams. In partnership with biomedical engineers at Georgia Tech, a multidisciplinary team of Children’s physicians including cardiologists, otolaryngologists and critical care specialists worked together to implant a 3D-printed tracheal splint to support Justice’s restricted airways. Our innovative program—one of only two in the world—is led by cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Subhadra Shashidharan, CICU cardiologist Dr. Kevin Maher, otolaryngologists Drs. April Landry and Steven Goudy, and Dr. Scott Hollister, Director of the Center for 3D Medical Fabrication at Georgia Tech. Dr. Hollister and his team collaborated with the Global Center for Medical Innovation to print the airway device. 11ALIVE.COM One of them successfully went through an innovative surgery. Now, these twin girls are home together.
Whether you wear a Children's badge or recently visited us for care, we thank you—every one of you—for bringing the magic of the season to our halls.
A day that won’t soon be forgotten: This afternoon, our employees began receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. In the words of Dr. Michael Mallory (back left of the video): “To me, it marks a miracle of science. Rolling out the vaccine here at Children’s means we can protect our staff and help them continue to do the work they love. This is meaningful progress toward wellness and security—for our staff, for our patients and for our country.”
It’s a big day in history and Children’s history: This afternoon, we received our first delivery of the COVID-19 vaccines released for healthcare workers. Tomorrow, we’ll begin administering them to patient-facing employees. This is a moment of change, a symbol of hope—and we're grateful to the many, many teams who made it possible for this delivery to safely make its way to us today.

Eight years ago, a tradition was born in the cafeteria at Scottish Rite. Then 7-year-old Jerry Jr. asked his parents to drive him to the hospital where his little brother had spent time in our care. With a wad of cash—money his parents had been saving all year to buy his Christmas gifts—he hid behind the cash registers to surprise families and staff by paying for their meals. This morning, in true 2020 style, the tear-jerker tradition continued virtually. To help spread joy in a year when it’s needed more than ever, Jerry Jr.—now a 15-year-old high school sophomore—covered the cost of nearly 100 meals this Christmas Eve.

Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is an uncommon but serious condition linked to COVID-19. Here at Children’s, we’ve cared for 200 children with MIS-C over the past 12 months. Due to an increased number of COVID-19 infections in the community during and after the holiday season, we’ve treated an increasing number of children with MIS-C since early January. www.choa.org/mis-c
Diagnosed with severe bilateral hip dysplasia as an infant, Maci spent much of her first year in a Pavlik harness followed by a Rhino brace. Well into her toddler days, Maci's family made the hour-long drive to Atlanta just to see Dr. Tim Schrader. A decade later, this talented gymnast loves to surprise our orthopedics team with splits and back handsprings at annual check-ups.
While on a hike in Nashville, an oak tree fell on 3-year-old Judge and his dad, severely injuring them both. After being rushed to a nearby hospital with a traumatic brain injury, Judge was stabilized. After two weeks in a medically induced coma, Judge's parents moved him to Children's to begin his rehabilitation. In our inpatient rehab unit at Scottish Rite, Judge began his long journey of relearning all the "firsts" for a second time—how to walk, talk, eat and use his hands again. As his family prepares to return home to Tennessee, their "hospital tribe" will never forget the strength—and wit—of this pint-sized comedian.
Testing remains crucial in the fight against COVID-19. One of the greatest needs is the ability to test asymptomatic people who might still have the virus, which will ultimately help everyone go back to work and school. We are so proud of our research teams who, in concert with Emory and Georgia Tech, are poised to positively impact communities all over the world through their work with the NIH’s Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics Initiative. Take a look at the special behind-the-scenes footage of how we brought the RADx testing research to life: https://www.choa.org/radx .

Sometimes, when you don’t know what to say, a hug says it for you. This sweet moment between dad and son was made possible by our Heart Center team who did what others said was impossible. Four years after a successful pulmonary artery repair, Nathan is growing stronger every day—and aspiring to be the next American Ninja Warrior.
