Aiden’s journey shows what true strength looks like! Diagnosed in utero with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS), Aiden came to our Heart Institute before he was even born. At just one week old, he underwent a cardiac catheterization, followed by his first open-heart surgery (the Norwood procedure) six weeks later. This helped his heart get blood to his lungs, and blood with more oxygen be pumped through his body.

His fight wasn’t easy—oxygen levels dropped, ventilators became necessary, and damaged vocal cords added to the challenge. But after neck surgery (a cricoid split to open his airway) and a bidirectional Glenn procedure to help his heart pump more efficiently, along with other heart repairs, Aiden began to thrive.

After 257 days in and out of the hospital and our Ronald McDonald House, Aiden finally went home—and he continues to flourish today!

This , we celebrate incredible kids like Aiden who inspire us every day. 💙

We’re seeing a rise in flu and stomach illnesses across the community, which means our EDs and Urgent Cares are very busy. If you visit for in-person emergency or urgent care, please pack extra supplies for your child to be comfortable while waiting. If you aren't sure if your child needs to be seen, check in with your pediatrician. Have you tried Virtual Urgent Care yet? It may be a great option for you, too. Check out what we can see virtually and how to start a visit.

💙 Crystal is spreading the love in memory of her son, Devin. Devin passed away in 2022 after treatment for a brain infection, and his life continues to make an impact as his organs were donated that year on Valentine’s Day, including his heart. 💙❤️

To honor him, Crystal invited customers at her job to add just two extra dollars to their purchases to help share a little happiness with our patients. Thanks to her kindness, and the kindness of her customers, 243 heart‑shaped mylar balloons were donated!

Patients in our Transitional Care Centers at both our Burnet and Liberty campuses, along with families in our Family Resource Center, received these special balloons.

Thank you, Crystal, for filling our halls with love and Devin’s beautiful legacy. 💙🎈

We believe kindness is powerful—and free. A simple compliment, a warm smile, or celebrating what makes someone unique can brighten an entire day. Kindness doesn’t cost a penny, and there’s no limit to how much we can give. Let’s keep spreading it, one small moment at a time. 💛
