Winter coats keep kids warm outside, but they can make car seats unsafe inside the car ❄️🚗
Bulky layers add extra padding that can make harness straps too loose. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends removing thick coats before buckling in.

Keep kids warm and safe by using thin layers, hats and mittens, and placing a coat or blanket over the straps after they’re buckled.

❄️ Snowpile brought moments of joy and comfort to patients and families at Children's Hospital of Michigan. This cherished annual tradition, made possible with the support of our friends at the Children's Foundation, focuses on the entire family, providing gifts for children spending the holidays in the hospital and their siblings. During a season that can be especially challenging, Snowpile helps create a sense of warmth and normalcy for families navigating the holidays away from home.

We are incredibly thankful for the community that makes Snowpile possible each year, including our dedicated Child Life team and volunteers whose compassion and care help bring meaningful holiday moments to our patients and families💙

Sometimes comfort comes in the smallest forms 🐼💙 In the middle of the night, Jackson Hawkins woke up scared and unwell. His family rushed him to the Children’s Hospital of Michigan ER in Troy, and later he was transported by our PANDA One team via ambulance for further care. For a child who has spent much of his life in hospitals, moments like these can feel overwhelming. Amid the bright lights, unfamiliar sounds, and long hours, one simple gesture stood out, a stuffed panda placed in his hands by the PANDA team. 🐼 That panda became something familiar in an unfamiliar moment. Something soft to hold onto when everything felt uncertain.

Later, Jackson put that experience into words, writing a poem about the panda and the comfort it brought him. His poem is a beautiful reminder that kindness, presence, and compassion can mean everything, especially to a child in the middle of fear. We are grateful to our PANDA One team who show up not only with skill, but with heart, and who understand how much the little moments matter💙

🤍🎨 Bran Tolhurst’s love for art and creativity continues to brighten lives at Children's Hospital of Michigan 🤍🎨In honor of Bran, Detroit Dye House Home Of Brightlytwisted, together with the Tolhurst family, donated more than 155 hand-dyed jersey knit beanies to our Hematology-Oncology patients this year. We didn’t waste any time sharing these special beanies with our patients. Our Child Life team shared how quickly the beanies brought smiles, one patient immediately swapped out their old hat for a new Bran Beanie. We are deeply grateful to Detroit Dye House and the Tolhurst family for continuing Bran’s legacy of creativity and joy for our patients and families.

Some reunions mean a little more💙
Inspired by her fiancé, Amber chose to become a living kidney donor after answering a call from a family searching for help for their baby girl. In July, Amber donated her kidney to Luna, and on Monday, the two reunited at Children's Hospital of Michigan. Just in time for the holidays, their reunion reflects the season of giving.

Connor and his family are back for the Annual Pajama Party! 🎁 Now in its 9th year, they donated 680 holiday pajamas to children spending the holidays at Children's Hospital of Michigan. This beautiful tradition began when Connor was a baby in the Children’s NICU and received a pair of holiday pajamas. His family was so moved by that small act of kindness that they made it their mission to pay it forward each year, bringing warmth and comfort to our patients and families. Thank you, Connor and family, for continuing to brighten the season and reminding us of the power of kindness 💛
