Drew Canada was born at just 31 weeks at St.Vincent Women’s. His mother Jill’s water broke early and so she and her husband Andy spent a week on the High-Risk Unit with a specialized team of Maternal Fetal Medicine, OB/GYN and Neonatal clinicians who helped to prepare them for what to expect in the event of a premature birth. Following an emergency C-section, Drew spent more than 5 weeks in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at St.Vincent Women’s – the largest level IV unit in the state. In the NICU, there are a lot of machines and critically ill infants. The family recounted their favorite moments were those spent in Kangaroo Recliners holding Drew because it allowed them to bond with him in his fragile state. Kangaroo recliners at St. Vincent Women’s are available thanks to donor support. However, there are currently not enough for every family in the NICU. Watch Drew’s Story of Hope.

Henry’s Story of Hope | Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital Telethon
Henry Wooten’s parents expected their three-year-old’s ER visit to result in a routine prescription for an infection. Instead, they were told their son had leukemia – and an especially aggressive type known as AML. Henry’s condition quickly declined in a domino effect of bodily systems shutting down, including lungs, liver, kidneys and finally, his heart. Fortunately for Henry, he was being treated at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St.Vincent, one of the few medical centers in the state with access to ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation), an advanced form of life support technology that acts as a heart/lung bypass to let major organ systems rest while the body recovers.

Abigail’s Story of Hope | Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital Telethon
Abigail Boldt was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) when she was 15-years-old. Shortly after starting treatment at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St.Vincent, she noticed that some of the rooms had been decorated with fun themes and others were not decorated. She asked her doctors about this and they explained that the themed rooms have been donated. Having been riding horses since she was six-years-old, Abigail decided that she wanted to fundraise and donate an equestrian-themed room so other kids could enjoy another decorated room.

Clay’s Story of Hope | Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital Telethon
Clay Schramski was diagnosed in utero with two birth defects. Clay’s parents learned his liver was outside his abdomen, an omphalocele. Further testing revealed that he also had a hole in his diaphragm which caused his intestines to shift and deposit into his chest cavity. Thanks to numerous specialists with St.Vincent Women’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St.Vincent, Clay celebrated his first birthday. The family wrote a letter of gratitude to Peyton Manning, who responded by visiting with the family in the hospital this past spring. Watch Clay’s Story of Hope.
