Treated at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago in Chicago, IL.
When Aidan was seven years old, his parents began to worry as they noticed changes in his energy levels, and regular activities like family bike rides became more and more tiring for him. At his annual doctor’s appointment, his doctor noted that he had grown just one inch in the last year, and after running some tests, his parents turned to Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. Aidan was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease. Aidan and his parents met with members of the pediatric nephrology team, who helped Aidan understand his condition in an age-appropriate way and included him in conversations at each appointment. Aidan’s condition progressed quickly, and five months later, Aidan went on the transplant list. After confirming that she was a match, his mom made the selfless decision to donate one of her kidneys to Aidan, and they underwent surgery four months later. Through this process, Aidan found comfort through the Lurie Children’s PeerWISE program, which connects current patients with patients who were once in their shoes. Since his kidney transplant, Aidan has continued growing and meeting his milestones. He enjoys playing golf and video games and loves reading and recommending books to his family members.
Thanks to donations to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, Aidan received a lifesaving kidney transplant from Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago.

Treated at OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital in Portland, OR.
Ages 12 & 10
Madison (Maddie) has only known life with cystic fibrosis. A few days after she was born, she was transferred to OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital for a bowel obstruction. After undergoing the procedure, she stayed in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for 30 days. Two years later, Maddie’s little brother, Max, was also diagnosed with a bowel obstruction. His parents knew to go to the NICU at Doernbecher where his sister received care. Max’s severe bowel obstruction and jejunoileal atresia led to his diagnosis of cystic fibrosis too. As Maddie grew up, her condition began affecting her liver, and when she was 10, she was diagnosed with CF-associated liver disease. While their parents wouldn’t wish the diagnosis on either of their children, they see how Maddie and Max support each other on their shared health journeys. Maddie, now 12, loves art, playing golf and wants to be a veterinarian. 10-year-old Max is an all-star baseball player and his favorite position is shortstop. Maddie and Max continue to lean on one another as they manage their condition and are each other’s biggest cheerleaders.
Thanks to the support of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, Maddie and Max received quality care during their stay in the NICU at OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital.

Treated at Johns Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore, MD.
Before Emerson (Emme) was born at 25 weeks, she and her twin sister, Elle, were given a 10-15% chance of survival. At Johns Hopkins Children’s Center, Emme had her first brain surgery at 21 days old. She was diagnosed with hydrocephalus, cerebral palsy, and epilepsy, and she recently underwent seven brain surgeries including a right lobe hemispherectomy to help with seizures and motor function. Despite her long, tough journey, Emme continues to conquer every challenge that comes her way. She has found comfort in the music therapy program, where loves singing the Beluga song with her music therapist.
Donations to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals fund the music therapy program that offers Emme comfort throughout her medical journey.
Elle was born prematurely at 25 weeks gestation, with a brain bleed that caused hydrocephalus, a neurological disorder caused by an abnormal buildup of cerebrospinal fluid in the cavities of her brain. Elle and her twin sister, Emme, were both given a 10-15% chance of survival. Elle spent 106 days in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) with her sister. Elle benefited from the power of play by working closely with Child Life specialists and she loved the special NICU teddy bears, the mobiles, and the play pads. Today, Elle loves dancing, playing, and being her sister Emme’s number one supporter.
Donations to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals supported Elle and her family by generously covering the treatment not covered by insurance.
