At 14, Emily collapsed during soccer practice from a sudden cardiac arrest caused by a rare, undetected heart condition.

Thanks to lifesaving care, she survived.

Nearly a decade later, she returned to the same care teams at U-M Health, this time to safely navigate pregnancy and motherhood.

She says it’s a gift to celebrate Mother’s Day with her young sons.

“My two boys are my whole world. Being here to watch them grow up is something I’ll always be thankful for," she says.

This Mother’s Day, we’re celebrating stories like Emily’s.

Superhero window washers scaled the building, our Super Victors suited up in capes and masks, and our friends at The Bottomless Toy Chest brought "super" toys for every child at the hospital.

Last Mother’s Day, they were sitting in the NICU just weeks after giving birth, hoping and praying.

This year, they’re celebrating at home. 💕

Mom of three Sarah spent that day with her daughter Sage, born at just 22 weeks. Nearby, first-time mom Katie was at the bedside of her daughter Baela, who arrived at 25 weeks.

Sage and Baela were both born under a pound and faced extraordinary challenges. And both beat the odds.

Now, after celebrating their first birthdays, these two girls are giving their moms an extra special reason to celebrate this Mother’s Day.

“I tell her I’m so thankful for her, for her resilience, for her will to live, for choosing me to be her mom.” - Sarah

“I'm glad I get the opportunity to watch her grow into the strong, funny and sassy girl she's becoming. " - Katie

We'll be celebrating Mother's Day all week long with our incredible patient stories.

10-year-old William Goff was treated for acute myeloid leukemia as an infant. The chemotherapy cured his leukemia, but left him with cardiotoxicity.

By the age of seven, William's heart was experiencing restrictive cardio myopathy. His best treatment option was a heart transplant.

William received his new heart on July 4, 2023, allowing him to be the active kid he is today.

💚Born with biliary atresia, Nora Fuchs spent the first year of her life receiving therapies at Mott to help her liver function. However, a few months after turning one, it became clear these therapies wouldn't be sustainable long-term.

Her best chance at a healthy liver would be through a liver transplant.

When a non-directed living donor became a match for Nora, she was able to receive that second chance at life.

Is there a "cliff effect" in physical activity after high school?

Younger children and teens often have built-in opportunities to stay active through gym class, sports and extracurricular activities.

But as they get older, those structured options may disappear.

And many young adults struggle to stay active during this transition, our new Mott Poll suggests. 1 in 3 parents say their young adult child doesn't get enough physical activity.

Top barriers: Time, screen use and lack of interest.

Meet JJ one of our Little Victors from our 2026 calendar. “After a week-long hospital stay at birth, doctors suspected JJ had hereditary spherocytosis. At 6 weeks old, he received his official diagnosis and his first blood transfusion. In his first 27 months of life, he had 11 transfusions, two coming during a hospital stay due to an unknown viral illness. He's had hundreds of pokes, takes daily medicine and is well-known at the local lab. We have to take many precautions to keep his hemoglobin levels up and avoid transfusion. He recently started preschool, and we have spent many hours practicing good handwashing to keep him healthy. JJ will battle this blood disorder his whole life, but with the help of hematology at Mott, he is thriving, and we hope he continues to do so. He is our hero.” Hail, JJ!

Meet Silas one of our Little Victors from our 2026 calendar. “Silas has trisomy 21, congenital heart disease, autism, and B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). Mott is our second home. This is where he was born, had three heart surgeries, many sick admissions, sees all his specialists, and since April 2024 began his battle with leukemia. He is always so brave and delightful even in the hardest times. Always a joy to be around for everyone.” Hail, Silas!
