15-year-old Micah, a heart warrior and lifelong Cubs fan, just lived out every baseball lover’s dream. We teamed up with the Chicago Cubs to give this inspiring Advocate Children’s Hospital patient the ultimate VIP experience at Wrigley Field where he spent the day “Getting Ready Like a Cubs Player”. From a personalized locker and one-day contract, to joining practice and meeting his favorite players, Micah brought the energy, the glove, and the love for the game. ❤️

Diagnosed with two rare and serious heart conditions at birth, Micah has undergone 6 open-heart surgeries and many hospital stays but has never let this stop him from living life to the fullest. He’s now gearing up for his first high school baseball season as a catcher. With his walk-up song “Here Comes the Boom” echoing through the stadium, Micah took the field today in a custom Cubs jersey to show off his catching and hitting skills alongside the pros. He even hit up the team barber for a fresh new look. 💈

Micah and his family concluded their epic day by watching their favorite team play against the Kansas City Royals from the Friendly Confines. Thank you to the Chicago Cubs for helping us make this experience truly unforgettable. Help us wish Micah good luck in his upcoming season! ⚾

Triniti was born on April 28, 2016. Shortly after she was delivered, Triniti’s mom, Tami, had a feeling that something wasn’t right. Triniti was soon admitted to the NICU for further evaluation. During this time, Triniti was diagnosed with two heart conditions – partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) and congenital diaphragmatic hernia, a serious and sometimes life-threatening combination. It was also discovered that Triniti has a small hole in her heart and only one functioning lung. Despite the challenges, however, Tami says Triniti was a fighter from the start

Triniti spend a total of 321 days in the hospital and was finally discharged from the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) at Advocate Children’s Hospital in Oak Lawn in November 2017. While Triniti has faced many obstacles throughout the last 9 years, she continues to overcome them and has grown stronger each year. Today, Triniti is preparing for 4th grade and loves cheerleading, spending time with friends and just being a typical kid.

As a big Chicago Cubs fan, Triniti loves watching every game she can with her family – a tradition that started during her time in the NICU when the Cubs played in the 2016 World Series. Triniti received a special Cubs World Series onesie and wore it whenever the Cubs played. Watching the games together provided them with some much-needed comfort and joy and a sense of normalcy during an otherwise uncertain time.

Triniti had the ultimate VIP experience serving as Advocate Health Care’s honorary Cubs bat kid! She and her family enjoyed on-field access before the game and got to spend time in the dugout during batting practice. She also received a custom Cubs jersey and a baseball for players to sign and had the chance to meet and interact with some of her favorite players. 💙

Born on March 3 at just 1 pound, Eliana has spent nearly 5 months in the NICU at Advocate Children’s Hospital in Park Ridge. This tiny warrior has grown stronger every day with the help of the dedicated nurses who have been with her since the beginning.

“They truly are our guardian angels,” Eliana’s mom, Kasandra, said. “I never worry when I’m not at the hospital because I know they’re loving and caring for Eliana just like I would.”

To express her appreciation, Kasandra had a special “I love my NICU nurses” onesie made - and when Eliana wore it to surprise her favorite nurses, they proudly joined her for a photo-op. Also featured in the photo-op was a special blanket that was hand-made for Eliana by one of the nurses.

Eliana has come a long way since her first day in the NICU. Kasandra shared: “She’s full of personality and keeps making progress - showing everyone just how strong she is. I’m beyond grateful to this group of nurses - especially Lauren, Caitlin, Alli, Sarah and McKenna - for not only the care and love they have shown Eliana, but also for the support they’ve provided to me over the last few months. It’s safe to say they have become like our extended family.”

From patient to powerful voice: Brooke’s journey. 💛

At just 13 years old, Brooke stood before members of Congress to share her courageous cancer journey at Advocate Children’s Hospital. As part of Family Advocacy Day, hosted by the Children's Hospital Association, Brooke and her family helped shine a light on the importance of protecting the pediatric healthcare ecosystem.

Brooke was joined by her family and Kelsey, a nursing professional development specialist at Advocate Children’s Hospital, who cared for her during treatment. Kelsey spoke passionately about the need to bolster the pediatric workforce—underscoring how deeply personal and professional these issues are for our teams.

We are honored to walk alongside families like Brooke's, who turn personal stories into national advocacy. Their strength inspires us every day. ❤️
