We’re participating in fundraising efforts for Alfred I. duPont | Nemours Hospital for Children to give back to an institution that has given us so much hope for our family’s future. Our daughter, Sadie, has complex medical needs as a result of a rare genetic mutation called Sotos Syndrome. She was diagnosed with progressive infantile scoliosis in February 2018 at five months old. In weighing our options for treatment, we took our first trip to Nemours and got a customized treatment plan. She was casted for ten months and transitioned to a brace before her second birthday, holding her curve low enough that she should be able to avoid surgery and live a normal life. Along the way, we’ve added pulmonology and otolaryngology to the specialties she follows at Nemours, and we’ve been continually impressed by the knowledge, caring, and community feel from everyone we’ve met within the Nemours network. Join us in ensuring that every child with orthopedic needs has the chance to get the care he or she needs to have a normal childhood.
