"One thing we wish more people knew is that children like Jameson are not defined by their diagnosis. He is strong, fearless, and determined. While hemophilia is part of his life, it does not control who he is," says his mother, Stormy.

19-month-year-old Jameson, son of Darik and Stormy Heider, little brother to 3-year-old Hailyn, and the nephew of our ED Director Alissa, lives with Severe Hemophilia A, a rare bleeding disorder that makes even minor injuries serious. What might be a small bruise for most can turn into internal bleeding for him as his blood does not clot properly. 🩸

This , Jameson's mom reminds us that while hemophilia often is an invisible condition, with proper care and support, those living with it can thrive. ❤️ Awareness leads to a better diagnosis, treatment, research and hope.

Currently, Jameson receives an injection every 28 days to help replace his missing clotting factor. Despite his condition, Stormy reminds us that he is, “tough, resilient, and full of life.”

Thank you to Jameson and his family for letting us share his story.

Since the age of 16, McKenzie has known she was called to become a NICU nurse. That passion has guided her education and career, leading her to care for the tiniest and most fragile patients here at Northwest Texas Healthcare System. She views her role as both a privilege and a purpose, supporting their growth and caring for them during life’s most critical moments.

It’s this commitment that has earned her recognition as the 2026 Outstanding NICU Nurse by Sunshine for Charlotte and The Ronald McDonald House Charities of Amarillo at this year’s Wine, Women & Shoes event. 🌟

We couldn’t be prouder to celebrate McKenzie! 🎉
