They thought they were bringing him home for one last day. Then Sebastian kept surprising them.

At just 2 months old, Sebastian Brook left Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt on hospice care. His family gathered close at home, ready to hold him through goodbye.

Instead, they watched him open his eyes. Then take a breath. Then another.

Born with severe hydrocephalus and tetralogy of Fallot, a heart condition, Sebastian had faced complex challenges since birth. His care teams made sure he was comfortable and surrounded by love. His parents, Tim and Robyn, began marking small milestones. Then bigger ones.

Now 2 years old, Sebastian is learning, laughing and growing — in every way they didn’t expect.

They call him “the exception.”

Disordered eating — irregular eating behaviors that may or may not lead to the diagnosis of an eating disorder — may show up in different ways. Childhood and adolescence are particularly vulnerable times for disordered eating. An adolescent health doctor advises parents that “the symptoms can be subtle and hard to notice, and oftentimes young people keep them secret.” See the link in the comments for what to look for.

Jacki leads a team that helps spine surgery patients find their strength again.

As a physician assistant and lead spine advanced practice provider, Jacki supports patients through every stage of their hospital stay. She works closely with surgeons, residents and nurses to coordinate care that helps each patient move forward with confidence.

After 12 years at Vanderbilt Health, it’s still the people — and the purpose — that keep her motivated.

“We’re growing fast, but our mission stays the same. Every patient deserves to feel seen, supported and safe.”

Pregnancy can raise your chances of having a stroke, even after giving birth. This is rare, but studies have shown that women who have two or more pregnancies with some sort of cardiovascular complication have twice the chance of a stroke later in life. It’s important to pay attention to your blood pressure during pregnancy. See the link in the comments for more things to know.

When a child needs extra time in therapy, Beth stays. When a piece of adaptive equipment breaks, she fixes it. When a young patient lines up at the start of an adaptive triathlon, she’s already in the water, cheering them on.

Beth is a physical therapist at Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt, where she helps young patients regain movement, strength and confidence. Her commitment earned her a Credo Award this fall, but the work continues.

“We’re going to keep pushing forward and keep making things better for our patients,” she says.
