Treated at Duke Children's in Durham, NC.
At 18 weeks pregnant with twins, Stephanie learned something was wrong. Braeden, “Baby B,” was diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, one of the most severe congenital heart defects. The prognosis was unclear. After researching options, Braeden’s parents chose to go with Duke Children’s, where he could receive the outpatient care he needed close to home. In advance of his birth, the staff gave them a tour of the facilities and set up meetings with their surgeon to ask questions. Over the next couple of years, Braeden returned to Duke Children’s for heart catheters and two more big surgeries, and his parents found comfort in nurses and doctors who truly cared. The medical teams continue to find innovative ways to treat hypoplastic left heart syndrome so more kids like Braeden can live their lives to the fullest. Now Braeden is nine years old and his sense of humor makes everyone around him smile.
Thanks to the support of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, Braeden received world- class medical care close to home at Duke Children’s.

Treated at Kentucky Children’s Hospital in Lexington, KY.
At ?rst, eight-year-old Lucy’s parents thought she’d caught strep throat, or maybe the ?u. But as her symptoms progressed to a high fever and an upset stomach over the course of the week, they realized their daughter was dealing with something worse. Lucy’s pediatrician tested her for something called Multisystem In?ammatory Syndrome in Children, or MIS-C: a rare syndrome associated with COVID. “We were just ruling it out” was the mindset behind running blood work that led to Lucy’s diagnosis. “[Our pediatrician] said, ‘We’ve already called ahead to Kentucky Children’s Hospital, and they have a room for you. You need to go immediately.’” MIS-C can lead to major in?ammation of the organ systems, skin, and brain, and most children with the condition arrive at the hospital in bad shape. When Lucy was admitted, her blood pressure was low and her heart was beating way too fast. Lucy’s doctors and her parents quickly made the decision to transfer her to Kentucky Children’s Hospital’s pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). After several days in the PICU, Lucy’s condition began to improve. Soon she was discharged to recover fully at home. Lucy’s family is deeply grateful to the medical professionals at Kentucky Children’s Hospital for ensuring their story has a happy, healthy ending.
Thanks to donations to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, Lucy had access to lifesaving care at Kentucky Children’s as she recovered from MIS-C.
