  • While Amari’s mom, Julia, had preeclampsia during her entire pregnancy, at 28 weeks, she was officially considered high risk. She was put on bed rest at an area hospital and then transported to Hurley Medical Center to ensure that her baby had access to Hurley’s Level III neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) services. Julia knew she was in good hands at Hurley. When the doctors woke her to inform her they’d need to perform an emergency C-section, they explained it was no longer safe for her or the baby. Amari was born just minutes later and weighed less than three pounds. In those first days in the NICU, Julia was scared of the unknown. However, the NICU staff equipped Julia with what she needed to care for her baby, and after a month-long stay in the NICU, Amari was ready to go home. Today, Amari is a beautiful, healthy, adventurous five-year-old who just started Kindergarten. She loves playdough and recess as well as her stuffed turtle, Turbo. Thanks to donations to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, Amari’s family had access to the specialized care and state-of-the-art equipment needed to ensure her safe entrance into the world.

  • Charleigh was five years old when she and her brothers were placed into emergency foster care. Due to her critical condition, she was admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit at Sanford Health and the doctors gave her less than 12 hours to live. She was diagnosed with Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), a rare but potentially fatal condition that causes the body to attack itself. Charleigh remained in the hospital for over two months, and during this time, the children’s hospital staff became her family. A few months later, Kathy and Jared decided to foster Charleigh, fully aware that she was still undergoing treatment for HLH including chemotherapy, had almost all of her teeth removed, had serious mental health issues, needed corrective oral surgery, and had a host of other diagnosis. Over the course of her oncology, oral maxillofacial, psychology and dermatology visits, Charleigh never complained. By the following summer, Charleigh was able to ‘ring the bell’ as she finished her treatment of HLH. The year that Kathy and Jared officially adopted Charleigh and her brother, she asked if she could give all of her Christmas presents to the kids at Sanford Children’s Hospital – Fargo. Now, Charleigh is in the fifth grade, enjoying playing basketball and her HLH diagnosis appears to be in remission. Thanks to donations to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, Charleigh’s medical and psychosocial needs were met with highly specialized programs.

  • When Fynnley’s mom went in for a routine ultrasound at 35 weeks pregnant, doctors immediately realized something was wrong. Her baby was in fetal distress and she was transferred to PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend, a hospital an hour away from home with a level III neonatal intensive care unit. An emergency delivery became necessary for the baby’s survival and she needed to be in a hospital equipped to provide critical infant care. Fynnley was born and diagnosed with VACTERL Association, a condition that presented multiple complex birth defects including esophageal atresia. The medical team at RiverBend went above and beyond to help keep Fynnley alive, ensuring she received critical respiratory support and nutrition through feeding tubes. After having 19 surgeries in her first 18 months of life, Fynnley is now a thriving two-year-old, full of boundless energy and endless joy. She is able to eat, run, and play without any restrictions. Though she will always carry the many scars from her experience, she tackles life with enthusiasm, determination, and resilience. Donations to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals helped Fynnley have access to lifesaving equipment and care.
