Born with a severe heart defect, Nolan has been a miracle his whole life. Fortunately, Levine Children’s Hospital has everything he needs close to home. This includes fetal heart specialists who cared for him in the womb – and the region’s only pediatric heart surgery program, where Nolan received open-heart surgery at 2 years old. As we continue caring for his heart – as well as a rare genetic condition – Nolan is growing more than ever. And he has more energy, too! Full of love, laughter and hugs, this miracle baby makes every day a dream.
Transplant super-siblings, 9 and 10
Siblings Skylar and Scot share a lot. They both see our gastroenterologists for a rare genetic condition that changes how the body uses and stores sugars. And they each successfully underwent a liver transplant at Levine Children’s Hospital, only a year apart. But that’s not all they have in common. These two are brave kids with big dreams. Whether it’s being a world-famous violinist or a legendary football player, we’re making sure there’s not a goal they can’t crush.
NICU graduate, 20 months
Born at 26 weeks, Scarlett weighed less than a pound and a half. Two weeks later, doctors found a clot in her heart. Fortunately, her team of specialists at Levine Children’s Hospital knew of a rare clot-busting medicine called tPA. It was Scarlett’s best chance at survival but had only been used in a handful of babies around the world – few as small as Scarlett. Within 3 days, the clot disappeared. Scarlett spent a grand total of 131 days in our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, where she recovered, grew and proved courage comes in all sizes.
Kidney disease fighter, 7
Rosy dreams of being a princess. With a pet unicorn, of course. Nothing can make her crown slip – not even being diagnosed with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), or kidney failure. She comes to our Pediatric Nephrology Center of Excellence, the only one of its kind in the region. With the latest treatments and clinical trials, we fight hard to give Rosy the life she imagines – unicorn and all.
Brain surgery champion, 6
For Rosie, every day brings new possibilities. But when she was very little, she suffered from seizures that couldn’t be controlled with medication. Her care team at Levine Children’s Hospital knew there was one more option – a radical brain surgery that could cure her condition. The surgery was successful, and today, Rosie is seizure-free. With eyes full of wonder, she’s learning, growing and living a life full of possibilities.
Orthopedic surgery superstar, 15
Kai’Mariya is no stranger to the medical field. Maybe that’s why she hopes to be a nurse.

She says her medical team here is caring and full of knowledge. And the feeling’s mutual. Kai’Mariya has brains, heart and knows what it’s like to be a patient. We think she’d make a great nurse one day.
