When their twin girls arrived unexpectedly early, Makenzie and Chris leaned on the compassionate care team at Children’s Health, who supported their entire family through the NICU journey. ❤️

Makenzie remembers how all the beeping monitors and constant activity felt overwhelming at first. “But the nurses always took time to explain what every tube, test or treatment was and why it was needed,” she says.

Today, the twins are thriving. Josie is starting to crawl, while Daphne prefers to be carried, which Makenzie credits to her more relaxed personality. Read Josie and Daphne's inspiring story: https://bit.ly/4od3RrC

When 13-year-old Addy had an unexpected seizure, she was rushed to the ER in her hometown of Tulsa, OK. When faced with a months-long wait to see a neurologist, her mom turned to Children's Medical Center Plano for expert care.

Addy and her family met Dr. Afsaneh Talai, Pediatric Neurologist and Professor at UT Southwestern Medical Center, who explained Addy's epilepsy diagnosis and created a care plan.

Today, Addy is one year seizure-free and can focus on being a kid – enjoying school, playing cello and piano, figure skating and soccer. 💜
