Children's Miracle Network Miracle Family
Your support of the Children's Miracle Network assures that our community families have access to the very best in neonatal intensive and pediatric care. Each year, we share the story of a family and their miracle.
Teagan
Teagan's weekly ritual is as mouthwatering as it is heartwarming: double cheeseburger, fries, chocolate milk, hot cocoa and a side of chocolate pudding! When she rolls into the pediatric unit, she's ready for her ERT (enzyme replacement therapy) which is administered through her port. This advanced treatment replaces the missing enzymes with lab-produced alternatives to help manage the symptoms of mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS). With years of practice, Teagan, her family, and the exceptional Arnot nursing staff have developed a seamless routine that provides her with comfort and support. Her signature "1, 2, 3, head nod" serves as her secret signal to indicate, "Let's do this!" The nurses eagerly anticipate Fridays, when Teagan's name brightens their patient board like a ray of sunshine.
Ways to Give
Care for Local Children
Every dollar raised locally stays in our region to benefit a child through medical care, equipment, programs, or education. Arnot Ogden Medical Center Children's Miracle Network has raised more than $7 million to support healthcare services for local infants and children.
