Today, on World Prematurity Day, we honor all of the tiniest babies that are born prematurely, and cared for in the NICU. One of those tiny babies, was Avery Schalmo.

After spending 147 days in the NICU at Manning Family Children’s, baby Avery Rae is finally home and thriving! Born at just 25 weeks and weighing only 1 pound, 6 ounces, Avery faced incredible challenges including emergency surgery for a bowel perforation, infections, retinopathy of prematurity, and tiny fractures in her arms, ribs, and legs from extreme prematurity. Through it all, her strength and determination never wavered, and her dedicated team of doctors, nurse practitioners, nurses, and therapists supported her every step of the way. Today, Avery is 10 pounds of pure strength and smiles! Read the full story on the blog! >> https://bit.ly/43t3O3A

Avery Schalmo's story is one of true perseverance and a testament to the incredible nurses and doctors that not only take care of medical needs, but also emotional needs. For many families, the NICU becomes home away from home as their babies gain strength and grow, and the nurses and doctors become like family. At Manning Family Children's Level IV NICU, we care for the tiniest, most critical babies to give them a chance to live their lives, because they deserve that chance.

"Yo no tengo la ayuda de nadie y para que ellos me ayudaran en los momentos más difíciles. Fue una ayuda mayor para nosotros. Si no fuera por los doctores y las enfermeras y todo el equipo de Manning Family Children's, yo no sé cómo yo hubiera superado todo esto."

Hezekiah Martínez acababa de cumplir dos años cuando su familia recibió la devastadora noticia: tenía leucemia mieloide aguda. El diagnóstico llegó solo tres días antes de su cumpleaños. Durante su estancia en el hospital, el excepcional equipo de médicos y enfermeras que cuidó de su hijo con compasión y profesionalidad se convirtió en parte de su familia. Recientemente, Hezekiah se sometió con éxito a un trasplante de médula ósea y, increíblemente, su madre, Lidia, resultó ser compatible y pudo ser su donante. Su familia estará eternamente agradecida al equipo médico que los apoyó durante algunos de los momentos más difíciles de sus vidas.

"I don't have anyone to help me, and they were a huge help to me during the most difficult times. If it weren't for the doctors, nurses, and the entire team at Manning Family Children's, I don't know how I would have made it through all of this."

Hezekiah Martínez had just turned two years old when his family received the devastating news: he had acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The diagnosis came only three days before his birthday. Throughout their time at the hospital, the exceptional team of doctors and nurses who cared for her son with compassion and skill, became like family.​ Hezekiah recently underwent a successful bone marrow transplant, and, incredibly, his mom, Lidia, was a match and able to serve as his donor. ​ His family is forever grateful to his care team who supported them through some of the toughest times in their lives.

"Cada dolar hace la diferencia, dona para ayudar a niños como mi hijo Eliel."

Eliel nació prematuramente a los seis meses de gestación. Presentaba inmadurez pulmonar, enfermedad renal crónica y muchos otros problemas propios de un nacimiento tan prematuro. Su familia acudió al único lugar capaz de brindar la atención especializada necesaria para bebés tan pequeños como Eliel: la UCIN de Nivel IV del Hospital Infantil Manning Family. La madre de Eliel está profundamente agradecida a los médicos y enfermeras que les brindaron no solo atención médica, sino también apoyo emocional.

"Every dollar makes a difference. Donate to help children like my son, Eliel."

Eliel was born prematurely at 6 months gestation. He had underdeveloped lungs, chronic kidney disease, and many other issues that come with being born as such an early age. His family came to the only place that would be able to provide the expert level of care needed to care for tiny babies like Eliel - The Level IV NICU at Manning Family Children's. Eliel's mom is incredibly thankful for the doctors and nurses who provided not only medical support, but emotional support to their family.

"Yo los invito a todos a que apoyemos al hospital, porque ellos ayudan en una gran labor, una gran causa a muchos niños que de verdad necesitan, que no tienen un apoyo, que no tienen cómo comprar sus medicamentos, su tratamiento, que apoyemos porque hoy podemos ser nosotros, mañana a ustedes y con su ayuda benefician a muchos niños."

Ángel padecía una enfermedad renal crónica en fase terminal con tan solo 13 años. Él y su familia viajaron desde Honduras al Manning Family Children's para recibir la atención especializada que necesitaba para sobrevivir. Fueron recibidos con los brazos abiertos por un equipo de médicos y enfermeros en quienes la familia confió plenamente para salvar la vida de Ángel. Hace un año, Ángel recibió un trasplante de riñón que le salvó la vida. La familia está eternamente agradecida al equipo del Manning Family Children's.

"I invite you all to support the hospital, because they do a great job, a great cause, helping many children who really need it, who don't have support, who can't afford their medicine or treatment. Let's support them because today it could be us, tomorrow it could be you, and many children can benefit from your help."

Ángel was in the terminal stages of chronic kidney disease at just age 13 years old. He and his family came to Manning Family Children's from Honduras to receive the expert care he needed to survive. They were met with open arms by a team of doctors and nurses who the family fully trusted to save Ángel's life. One year ago, Ángel received a life-saving Kidney Transplant. The family is forever grateful to the welcoming team at Manning Family Children's.
