During her second pregnancy, Andrea Limas learned her baby had developed a complete heart block with a dangerously low heart rate. With her 27-week pregnancy now considered high-risk, she was transferred to Jackson Memorial Hospital for advanced care.�

The pediatric cardiac team at UHealth Jackson Children’s Care acted quickly. Rebeca was delivered weighing just 2 pounds and immediately needed surgery to place an external pacemaker to keep her heart beating safely.

As she grew stronger in the Holtz Children’s Hospital NICU, Rebeca underwent a second procedure. The team implanted a Micra internal pacemaker, a device normally used for adults but carefully adapted for her tiny size. After 130 days in the NICU, she finally went home to meet her big brother. 💞

“The teams at Jackson, their passion for what they do in saving children’s lives, we’ll never forget it,” Limas said. “We’re so grateful for being one of those Jackson miracles.”

💙 All kids experience big emotions, like joy, frustration, sadness, and excitement. As parents, it’s not about preventing the negative feelings but helping your children understand them and express them in healthy ways.

Helping kids name and talk about their feelings builds emotional awareness and resilience. These small lessons shape how children manage emotions as they grow.

Bullying is never easy for kids or for parents. But your response can help shape how your child overcomes it. 💙

👂 Listen first. Let them share what happened without interrupting and give them space to come to you first.
🧘 Stay calm and avoid overreaction. Gather important facts and strategize.
💬 Encourage problem-solving skills. Ask what they might do next time and practice together.
🌟 Reinforce their self-worth. Celebrate their strengths and successes beyond school. Positive reinforcement helps kids build resilience.

Your support can make all the difference.

Nineteen candles lit up Caden Major’s birthday cake this year, but the real celebration was something he once thought impossible: life without sickle cell pain. 💫

For most of his childhood, sickle cell disease stole everyday moments and filled his days with pain and hospital stays. But this year, Caden became the first pediatric patient in South Florida to receive a new FDA-approved gene therapy at Holtz Children’s Hospital and University of Miami Health System, offering him a chance at a cure and freedom from the pain that once defined his life.

After weeks of chemotherapy, cell modification, and recovery, Caden is finally pain-free and dreaming big again.

“I want to learn to drive, get my GED, and finish school. I want to go to college,” he said. “I have no pain, and it’s pretty great — it’s how normal people feel.” 💙

It takes a village, and ours is full of heart. 💛

Our comprehensive Spina Bifida Program at Holtz Children’s Hospital brings together pediatric specialists from neurosurgery, urology, orthopedics, rehabilitation, and more, all in one family-friendly environment.

Spina bifida is a birth condition in which the spine and spinal cord don't form properly before birth. It can affect mobility, bladder and bowel function, and overall health, but with the right care and support, children can thrive.

From diagnosis through adolescence, our team of experts works hand in hand with families to manage every aspect of care, helping children grow stronger and more independent every day.

🎉 One year ago, Emily Shipman and her family made history at Holtz Children’s Hospital when they became the first to undergo an in-utero spina bifida repair.

Thanks to the expertise of our fetal surgeon, Dr. Rodrigo Ruano, our pediatric neurosurgeon, Dr. Heather McCrea, and their dedicated teams, baby Luey was born healthy and strong just two months later. 💙

Today, Luey is thriving. He continues to receive care at Holtz Children's Comprehensive Spina Bifida Clinic, Shriners Children’s Orthopedic Center at UHealth Jackson Children’s Care, and rehabilitation therapy at Lynn Rehabilitation Center. He's surrounded by love, care, and the same team who first met him before he was even born.

We’re honored to celebrate this incredible milestone with the Shipman family and our fetal surgery team, whose compassion and innovation continue making miracles daily.

It was a heartwarming day on the water as patients and families from Holtz Children’s Hospital joined our PediPals team for an afternoon of sailing, smiles, and sunshine.

Events like these give our young patients the chance to just be kids. They get out on the water, make memories with their families, and experience moments of fun beyond the hospital walls.

A huge thank you to everyone who made this special day possible, including our partners at Jackson Health Foundation and the amazing team at Shake-A-Leg Miami 💕
