Boston Children's Hospital

baby.

So she did a biopsy, and she took photos of little pink lesions under his armpits and and um sent them over to dana farber to the jimmy fund clinic as it's known and they were on the phone saying get your baby here now um so we took jude up to boston um to dana farber boston children's hospital and as soon as the doctor saw him suddenly seven doctors showed up in the room and i thought oh geez this is not cradle cap And he has a very rare form of blood cancer, treated like leukemia.

So they told us that they get 10 cases a year of this, no known cause from all over the world.

Wow.

And it was laden with baby's toys as if God had just provided that there for us.

And we flew back and forth for, I lived there for three months.

Nick had to be in Bermuda with his children and, um and so we flew back and forth after that every week for a year and um they got him better we're so lucky uh boston children's hospital got him better oh wow so but jude was the happiest little baby you could ever imagine at the hospital they would give him his chemo as he's watching teletubbies and then he'd finish his chemo and then he'd be running around going into all the doctor's rooms saying i'm happy are you happy Is everyone happy? And they would look, where's this angel from? He's just so happy.

So I remember taking him back when he was 18 to the remission clinic.

for their name to come up.

But their team at Boston Children's Hospital, the team in San Diego led by Jane Burns and Adrienne Tremillet and Kirsten Doomer, they have a huge Kawasaki disease team.

I've told them before, if you go to their website, you need to scroll down for a while to see all the different teams.

And they've been incredible and so supportive.

And one of the themes of the book and this journey is that, you know, supporting basic research, no matter where it takes you, is so incredibly important.

We've learned about the different molecular players that control globin gene expression, thanks to the trailblazing work of Stu Orkin at Boston Children's Hospital and his colleagues, who were doing that work really just to better understand the basic biology, not because they necessarily immediately saw the connection with sickle cell.

If you've got speaker or topic ideas, we'd love to hear those too.

You can send them in a podcast review.

Dawson was in trauma 1.

Callen was initially in trauma 2, but was flown to Boston Children's Hospital shortly after Robert arrived.

My mic's down to 20%.

January 27th of 2023, 1118 a.m., Callen died in Boston Children's Hospital.

Okay, so we wanted it to be confirmed.

Just like start doing that.

You know, I just like had a friend of a friend that worked at Boston Children's Hospital in patient psych unit.

I'm like, are you kidding me? It's not a choice.

I think like the things in our life that we do that aren't a choice are very personal.

It was like, I'm not doing this.

Because the nursing floor culture just wasn't for me.

I did that over at Boston Children's Hospital, transitioned to a nurse.

And then after all that time, I was doing the exact same thing, just getting paid a little bit more.
