Meet Lucy, a GCH heart warrior. 💙

Before she was born, Lucy was diagnosed with transposition of the great arteries (TGA). Knowing her heart would need specialized care, her mom relocated to Golisano Children’s Hospital just in time for Lucy’s birth. That decision saved her life.

At just 6 days old, Lucy was strong enough to undergo open-heart surgery. 10 days later, she was home.

Today, Lucy is doing amazing. She’ll always hold onto her Beads of Courage as a reminder of how strong she was from the very beginning. And her mom, Olivia, says she will always remember the compassion, expertise, and incredible care Lucy received from the team on 6 South, who helped give her daughter a healthy future.

We can’t picture our doctors as anything but doctors—but we love tapping into our imaginations here at GCH!

So, we asked some of our incredible physicians: 💭 If you weren’t a doctor, what would you be?

When Cam was born in 2020, he quickly began struggling to breathe and was transferred to GCH for specialized care. Doctors discovered he had PPHN (persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn) — a life-threatening condition.

After every treatment was exhausted, Cam was placed on ECMO, a form of life support that does the work of the heart and lungs so a baby can heal. For newborns, ECMO often requires donated blood products — making blood donors a critical part of care.

After four days on ECMO and nearly 50 days in the hospital, Cam grew stronger and finally went home. Today, he’s a thriving 5-year-old Kindergartner.

His family is endlessly grateful for the expert, lifesaving care at GCH — and for the blood donors who help make ECMO possible. “We encourage everyone who can to consider blood donation, so other families have the opportunity for hope and similar outcomes like our little guy Cam had 5 years ago."

We know that coming in for surgery can feel a little scary for kids—and Pediatric Surgical Center nurse Sydney Obrist sees that firsthand every day. That's why she led the creation of this video that walks patients and their families through the entire process, step by step. Knowledge is power—and a little reassurance goes a long way!

When Dean was just a few weeks old, his family learned he had metopic craniosynostosis. CT scans and multiple specialists confirmed that surgery would give his brain the space it needed to grow. 🧠

20 days before his first birthday, Dean underwent fronto-orbital advancement surgery at GCH. The hours he spent in the OR were the longest his parents had ever been away from him. But when he arrived in the PICU, surrounded by a caring team making him comfortable, they knew he was in good hands. 💙

Recovery was challenging, but Dean powered through with songs, stories, and lots of love. After just three days, he was strong enough to head home!

Now two months post-op, Dean is thriving! He is officially walking and talking up a storm! "He’s really been showing us how smart and resilient he is," shares mom, Adreanna.

Way to go, Dean! We're so proud of you!
