Everyone had a spook-tacular time at our annual Intensive Care Nursery Reunion, as 200+ ICN graduates and their families gathered outside our San Francisco hospital! We celebrated with delicious food, face painting, fun caricatures, a photo booth and, as always, a fantastic array of Halloween costumes. Thank you to all who joined us for this special day! 👻 🎃
Jesús celebrated his 10th birthday last month—please wish him a happy birthday! Jesús was born with CHARGE syndrome, a rare genetic condition affecting multiple parts of the body, and has undergone surgeries on his nasal passage and heart. His mom, Angélica, is thrilled to share that he's showing “great progress” and hitting his milestones! For Jesús' special day, his family organized a surprise party with delicious food, including fresh tacos, and they even hired a group to play live Mexican Norteño music! Jesús danced the night away and can't wait to continue the celebrations on an upcoming trip to Disneyland, as part of his Make-A-Wish America experience!
👏👏👏 Jeremmy rang our end-of-treatment bell after finishing six rounds of chemo — please congratulate him! In March, doctors diagnosed Jeremmy with Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system, and he came to our hospital for treatment. To mark this special occasion, his parents created a beautiful sign honoring the milestone! 👏👏👏
