Overcoming Ulcers

Chelsea today with her family.

I was 2-years-old and became very ill. I was first taken to Columbus where the doctors there had no idea what was going on with me. I was very weak and could not keep anything down. It got to the point I didn’t want to eat. Finally my parents decided to take me out of there and straight to Akron, where wonderful doctors got together and found the problem.

My 4-month-old daughter was admitted to Akron Children’s about a month ago. We had no idea what was wrong. The doctors in the ER at Cambridge thought it was some sort of new virus that was going around. She was admitted with a fever of 103.

So grateful for everything this hospital has done

On April 13, 2012, I had a gorgeous little girl named Nicolette, 6 weeks early. She was born with a couple of medical problems, so they called in the lovely people from Akron Children’s Hospital Boardman location. They moved her from Warren to Boardman that day.
