Likely to Change the World:
Hussein
Hussein home in Iraq, 2014
To the patients he works with in an Iraqi hospital, Hussein represents hope. They see him as a young
man wounded during the war, who has overcome physical limitations to live an independent, successful
life. Through him they’re able to envision possibilities for their own lives that may have seemed
unimaginable. Hussein feels fortunate to be in a position to inspire others, as he once faced an uncertain
future himself.
In 2005, at 10 years old, Hussein traveled 7,500 miles from Iraq to Phoenix with just a medical escort
by his side. He was optimistic that he might regain the vision he lost when he stepped on a landmine two
years earlier while visiting his grandfather’s gravesite. The explosion not only cost him his eyesight and
his left hand, it left more than 30 percent of his body ravaged with second-and third-degree burns. After
10 surgeries in Iraq, it was evident that he required more advanced treatment.
The Arizona chapter of Healing the Children arranged his travel and care, hopeful that doctors at
Phoenix Children’s Hospital could offer Hussein a better life. Nearly a dozen physicians contributed to
his treatment. “They were the ‘dream team,’” his host mother Debra says fondly.
Doctors performed extensive procedures on Hussein’s eyes, including a left corneal transplant and
reconstruction of his right eye socket. He underwent additional surgeries and dental work and was
fitted with an artificial right eye and prosthetic hand. Debra says, “The treatments were lifesaving and
life-changing.”
Living with Debra and her husband Raymond for 15 months, Hussein attended a local school as he
received follow-up care. By the time he returned to Iraq, he had regained some of his eyesight, learned
to use his new hand and couldn’t wait to teach his siblings to speak English.
Now 19, Hussein uses his English skills and experience with medical professionals in his position as
an Arabic-English interpreter. Working alongside doctors and therapists, he has earned the respect of
his colleagues – so much so that no one treats him as if he’s disabled. Hussein counteracts his limited
eyesight by enlarging text on an iPad and using a text-to-speech converter. He’s proud to be helping
patients, while earning a living in a place where jobs are scarce.
Hussein lives in his own apartment, a rarity in a culture where adults typically reside with their
parents. But he brings a worldly perspective to a country where few citizens are exposed to different
cultures. Debra says, “He considers it a miracle that he survived and is determined to make that same
kind of impact on others.”

As he describes his son Mike’s passion for soccer,
Gustave beams with pride. But it isn’t watching the 9-yearold play that moves him so much. It’s the fact that he’s
able to play at all. “It shows how healthy and strong he
is,” Gustave explains. That wasn’t the case when Mike first
arrived at Phoenix Children’s Hospital.
The family lived in their native country of Haiti when
a 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck in 2010. Mike was in
bed with a fever as the family’s house collapsed, trapping
him and crushing his arm. When his pain and fever
persisted days later, Gustave took him to a makeshift
clinic, where doctors delivered the news that would
change their lives forever. Mike had leukemia.
Haitian medics, overwhelmed by the loss of resources
and influx of injured patients, couldn’t properly care for
him. Gustave and Mike immediately boarded a plane to
the United States, unable to even say goodbye to Mike’s
mother Michelette and sisters Carla and Djenika.
Mike underwent several rounds of chemotherapy at
Phoenix Children’s, suffering not only physically, but
emotionally, as he feared for the safety of his mother
and sisters. Dr. Jessica Boklan led a coordinated effort to
bring the rest of the family to Phoenix, reuniting them at
a critical time. Mike was in the Pediatric Intensive Care
Unit, sedated and battling an infection.

“As soon as they arrived Mike started getting better,”
Gustave says. But he still faced a long road. Chemotherapy
alone wasn’t working, and Mike needed a bone marrow
transplant. Fortunately, Carla was a match. He received
the transplant, and after months of treatment and
recovery, Mike’s cancer went into remission.
The family has remained in Phoenix, and Mike is now
a second grader who earns straight A’s. An active kid who
loves Superman and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,
he honed his archery and fishing skills at Camp Rainbow,
the Hospital’s weeklong camp for patients diagnosed with
cancer and chronic blood disorders.
Mike still visits the Center for Cancer and Blood
Disorders for tests and follow-up appointments. “The
doctors and nurses have always been so kind and caring,”
Gustave says. “We couldn’t imagine a better place for
him. If we hadn’t come here, he probably wouldn’t
have survived.”
Happy, healthy and safe, Mike and his family focus on
the future. Asked what he wants to be when he grows up,
Mike shares big plans: “A doctor – or a professional
soccer player!”

When Emma’s recent cardiac stress test results came back as “normal,” her
parents couldn’t believe it. “Her abilities today are so far beyond what we
ever imagined, given her rocky start in life,” says her mom Amy. Born with
a severe heart defect, Emma has only one functioning ventricle. During her
first seven months, she endured four open heart surgeries, never leaving
the Hospital. Even after finally going home, Emma would visit the Hospital
regularly for additional surgeries, procedures and tests. Because there
wasn’t enough oxygen in her blood, even small exertions – walking up the
stairs or riding a bike – would cause Emma to turn blue. But at age 5 it was
time for her final heart surgery. A month later Emma was a different child,
finally able to run and play like her friends. Now in fourth grade, the selfdescribed tomboy is often the only girl on her sports teams and wants to
be a doctor when she grows up. Her parents are grateful she will have that
chance. Amy says, “Phoenix Children’s saved Emma’s life. We could never
show enough gratitude for the care, support and love extended to us.”

Best Attitude:
Following her accident in 2008

M
e:
Mia
As Mia put on her beautiful navy blue prom gown,
she barely noticed the scar on her leg – a scar she calls
her badge of honor. “I was self-conscious about it until
a couple years ago,” Mia says. “Now I’m proud of it and
don’t mind if people see my leg.” But the high school
senior will never forget the summer of 2008, when she
earned her badge.
“It haunts us that we had just told her minutes before
the accident that everything was going to be fine,” says
Mia’s mom Angela.
Nervous about her first time on a boat, Mia, then
11, reluctantly joined her family for a cruise around
Saguaro Lake. As the boat started to pick up speed, a
float tube inside caught the wind and sailed into the
water. The float tube’s rope tangled around Mia’s right
foot, pulling her into the lake. She bobbed in the water,
saying that her foot felt strange. “I never fathomed what
I would see when I looked at her leg,” Angela says. Mia’s
foot was virtually severed from her leg, attached by only
a few tendons.
She was brought to Phoenix Children’s Hospital’s
Level 1 Trauma Center, which had only been open
for four days. Mia was the first Level 1 – most
critical – patient.
Surgeons operated for eight hours, first reattaching
her bone and rebuilding her ankle, then reconnecting
the arteries and veins to reestablish circulation. She
underwent four additional procedures over the next 12
days. Thinking she would be in the hospital for months,
everyone was astonished when Mia was discharged after
just two weeks. Her recovery continued at home with
months of physical therapy.
“People take feeling normal for granted,” Mia says.
“After my accident I felt weird about having a scar, but
Phoenix Children’s allowed me to feel like myself
again. When kids ask me about it, I enjoy telling them
what happened.”
Despite the physical and mental challenges of nearly
losing a limb, Mia says, “I wouldn’t change anything.
There’s a reason this happened to me.” The experience
has had such a profound impact on her that she is
interested in pursuing a career in medicine.
Mia has been accepted by Grand Canyon University,
but before she starts school she plans to spend a year
in Africa, volunteering and studying abroad. She says,
“I want to experience the world before going to college
and getting a job. Since the accident, I feel like there’s
nothing holding me back.”

“Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease with no mercy,”
says Richard’s mom Zoila. She and her son have
experienced its impact firsthand. Richard, now 21, has
been living with severe juvenile rheumatoid arthritis
almost since birth. His disease affects all of his joints,
causing extreme pain and swelling. In Richard’s
case, complications from his arthritis have also
caused blindness and affected his bone development,
stunting his growth. Richard concedes that living
with arthritis can be challenging. He’s unable to drive,
and his condition prevents him from participating in
other activities he loves, like football, basketball and
karate. But despite those limitations, Richard doesn’t
dwell on the negative. Zoila says, “He’s pursuing a
career in music, and even wrote a rap song about the
outstanding care he’s received at Phoenix Children’s.
He has blessed a lot of people with his strength.”

Amanda on a medical mission to Africa last summer
“My experience as a patient at Phoenix Children’s taught me how each interaction
with a Hospital employee can affect your day,” Amanda says. “It shapes the way I
provide nursing care.” When she was 16 Amanda became sick with what her family
thought was the flu. But as her symptoms worsened, she was brought to Phoenix
Children’s where she was diagnosed with an extremely rare disease called Lemierre’s
syndrome. Her condition was life-threatening; at one point her vital signs were so low
that she only had a 50 percent chance of surviving. Amanda underwent six surgeries
in five weeks and spent nearly two months in the Hospital, with a care team of over 50
doctors, nurses and staff. Left weakened and emaciated, she endured weeks of physical
therapy to regain her strength and appetite. While her illness was an unexpected and
devastating time, Amanda says, “We felt listened to and cared for by all Hospital staff.”
Now she’s the one offering compassionate care, and paying it forward. She’s a nurse to
patients far and near, traveling on a medical mission trip to help children in Africa,
and treating patients on the hematology and oncology floor of the very hospital where
she was once a patient.

Most Likely to Persevere:
Chevelle a few months after her surgery
in 2010
Chevelle
Today at 6 years old
Six-year-old Chevelle is an early riser. She wakes up between 2 and 4 a.m.,
takes a bath, and starts her day with a healthy breakfast of scrambled eggs,
applesauce – sometimes even salmon. “She’s learning to eat on her own,” says
Chevelle’s grandmother, Melissa, who gained custody of Chevelle when she
was 8 months old. “She loves real food!”
Following breakfast Chevelle completes physical therapy and does her
schoolwork. She enjoys being read to and is discovering how to identify colors
and letters. Chevelle is home schooled, and the fact that she is going to school
at all is a true miracle.
When Chevelle was 2 years old, the entire left half of her brain was removed
in two major surgeries at Phoenix Children’s Hospital. She suffered from
tuberous sclerosis, a condition causing benign tumors to grow on her brain.
The left hemisphere of her brain had lost its ability to function and was
causing multiple seizures each day that were resulting in great harm to her
tiny body.
The complex surgery wasn’t available near Melissa’s home in Kentucky, so
she scheduled a consultation with Barrow Neurological Institute at Phoenix
Children’s Hospital during a family visit to Arizona. They met with Dr. P.
David Adelson, Neurosurgery Division Chief, who agreed to perform the
risky procedure.
After nearly 20 hours in the operating room, Chevelle spent the next nine
weeks recovering at Phoenix Children’s – first in the Pediatric Intensive Care
Unit, and then in rehabilitation. Five months later Chevelle and her family
finally returned home.
Chevelle’s brain surgery has allowed the right, healthy side of her brain
to work better and take over the normal functions of the left side. She has
done remarkably well, and today Chevelle is seizure free. She is making
great progress with continued check-ups and the help of therapy. She
communicates with her eyes, and is learning to make sounds, talk and walk
with assistance.
Chevelle continues to spend time in the hospital and has had a total of 45
surgeries to date, most of them related to fluid in her brain. But in spite of all
that she has been through, she continues to improve, and her grandmother
hopes that she will be fully independent one day, saying, “She’s our miracle
girl who brings endless joy to those around her.”

Amanda
As a patient at Phoenix
Children’s in 1983
Amanda with her family today
Amanda is a nurse in the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at
Phoenix Children’s, working around the clock to care for patients with
cancer. She relates especially well to the children she sees, because for
many years she was the one receiving treatment on the opposite side
of the curtain. When Amanda was 3, she was diagnosed with leukemia
and cared for at Phoenix Children’s. “The Hospital became such an
important part of my life,” says Amanda, who underwent chemotherapy
for two years and had ongoing follow-ups until she was 21. While she
was in the Hospital, Amanda admired one of her caregivers, Nurse
Jackie, and decided that when she beat cancer, she would follow in
Nurse Jackie’s footsteps. Sure enough, Amanda graduated from college
with a bachelor’s degree in nursing, and 20 years after first being
diagnosed with leukemia, returned to Phoenix Children’s to join the
staff. “I can honestly say that my leukemia shaped my career and the
person I am today,” says Amanda. “I’m so thankful that I can give back
to the hospital that saved my life.”

Most Outgoing:
Mary
“Surgery allowed me to come out of my shell
and be my true self,” Mary says. “It changed my
life completely.” She admits that her middle school
years were difficult. Mary had severe scoliosis, the
curvature of her spine an astounding 75 degrees.
She wore a brace 16 hours per day, restricting
her wardrobe to oversized shirts and causing her
to stand out when she just wanted to fit in. “I
acted more shy than I really am, because I felt so
different,” Mary says, reflecting back on those days.
Surgery was her only treatment option. When
Mary was 14, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Greg White
fused her spine with two steel rods and 26 screws.
Less than a 10 degree curve remained, ridding
her of the brace and boosting her self-confidence.
Since then Mary has flourished, living life to the
fullest as an active college student and sorority
member who loves to dance, run and volunteer.
A public relations major preparing to graduate
from Northern Arizona University, Mary wants
to give back by planning events that benefit the
Hospital. “I feel so blessed that Dr. White and
Phoenix Children’s gave me the opportunity to live
a normal life.”

Jordan and Joshua look alike, act alike and even finish
each other’s sentences. But the 17-year-old twins now
have something else in common; a long future ahead of
them. The disease that once handed them an abbreviated
life expectancy is now a distant memory, thanks to the
bone marrow transplants they both received at Phoenix
Children’s.
Soon after the twins were born they were diagnosed
with sickle cell disease, an inherited blood disorder that
causes tissue damage, restricts blood flow and results
in chronic pain. For many years, the pain impacted
their lives in ways that most people can’t imagine.
Overexertion, high elevations and extreme temperatures
all led to severe pain attacks and long stays in the hospital.
When the boys were 5 years old, their doctor explained
that a bone marrow transplant was a potential cure for
sickle cell. But the treatment can be dangerous, leaving
patients at risk of infection, neurological damage and
stroke. There is also the chance that the patient will reject
the transplant.
“At first, we were overwhelmed by fear,” their mother
Kristine explains. “I asked myself, ‘Am I ok trading a
disease I know for one I don’t know? What if one twin
makes it and the other dies?’” But as teenagers, Jordan
and Joshua were fed up with the pain and hospital visits.
They were willing to accept the risks of the procedure if it
meant moving on with their lives, sickle cell-free.
Within the last few years Jordan and Joshua each
received healthy bone marrow from their brother
14
Jonathan, curing them of their disease. Their transplants
are two of the eight for sickle cell disease that have been
performed at Phoenix Children’s since 2006. Bubbly
teenagers with infectious laughs and contagious smiles,
Jordan and Joshua aspire to be professional actors.
“They couldn’t play sports while they were sick, so they
started acting to keep their minds occupied,” explains
Kristine. “They want to be the next Will Smith and
Denzel Washington.”
The boys are succeeding in school as well. When they
were younger, school absences, drowsiness, and pain
medication interfered with their classwork. But their
grades have improved dramatically since their transplants.
Jordan was recently ranked at the top of his grade in
math, with Joshua right behind him.
“Phoenix Children’s gave me my boys,” Kristine says.
“I can’t thank the hospital enough for holding my family
up for all of these years. Because of the amazing doctors,
nurses and staff, the boys have a bright future ahead of
them, and our family is finally whole.”

A high school sophomore with a 4.0 GPA, Nikki loves volleyball
and plays percussion in her school’s marching band. But at age 7,
Nikki was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and for many years never
imagined she would be where she is today. “Being diagnosed with
diabetes was absolutely devastating,” Nikki says. “I hated the fact
that my disease made me different, and I always asked myself, ‘What
did I do to deserve this?’” Growing up Nikki often spent recess in
the nurse’s office, as simple things like playing sports, changing her
routine – even growing – made her sick. But through the support of
her family and care providers at Phoenix Children’s, she learned to
balance her blood sugar, track test times, administer insulin shots and
overcome the emotional rollercoaster of managing the disease. Today,
Nikki is an energetic, high-achieving teenager who can do everything
that her friends can do – sometimes it just requires a little more
planning. “I’ve faced my share of challenges,” Nikki says, “but thanks

Sarah
Sarah working with a patient in 2014
When Sarah sits at her patients’ bedsides as
their Child Life Specialist, she brings a unique
perspective. She understands the fears and
concerns they may have, because she has been
in their shoes. Born 10 weeks early, Sarah spent
the first month of her life in the Newborn
Intensive Care Unit at Phoenix Children’s. She
proved to be a fighter from day one, pulling out
her breathing tube the very day it was inserted.
Sarah would need that spunk eight years later
when she was diagnosed with stage IV kidney
cancer. She never let cancer slow her down,
playing basketball and continuing school and
church activities throughout treatment. After
battling through six weeks of radiation and a
year of chemotherapy, Sarah’s cancer went into
remission. Now cancer-free for more than 21
years, she gives back to Phoenix Children’s by
fundraising with the Patient and family Alumni
Leadership (PALs) group. But Sarah’s the one
who is grateful, crediting her experience as a
patient with inspiring her to pursue her dream.

A MILLION WAYS YOU SHOWED
YOU CARE
KTAR Give-A-Thon
The 14th Annual KTAR Give-A-Thon was one for the record books,
raising $1,180,117 in just 19 hours. Broadcast live on KTAR News
92.3 and Arizona Sports 98.7, the highlight was the many patients
who shared their stories, including cancer survivor Trinity singing
a song she wrote for the event and 5-year-old Anthony stealing the
show with his outgoing personality. More than 1,200 listeners chose
to become Monthly Miracle Makers by pledging at least $20 per
month and having a teddy bear given to a hospitalized patient in their
name. Donors were offered an incentive for giving but the majority
chose to donate their Suns tickets, Walgreens gift card or Hungry
Howie’s pizzas back to our patients.
Thank you to corporate sponsors: Valley Hyundai Dealers, Century Link, Wells Fargo, Wendy’s,

Festival of Trees
For the first time our professionally-designed

delivered to their homes just in time for the
holidays. In the true spirit of the season, one
of the trees was donated to a patient family.
