“I was holding his hand, and Daverion kept saying ‘Mom,’” recalled Regina Davis, Daverion's mom. “I could see that the seizing was getting worse, then he went still and stopped breathing. The trainer said she couldn’t find a pulse, so someone started CPR and someone else went for an AED.”

In the third quarter of a rainy rivalry football game, 14-year-old Daverion Davis collapsed after a seemingly routine play. His parents thought he’d just had the wind knocked out of him—but within minutes, Daverion was seizing and had no pulse. He was in sudden cardiac arrest and every second counted.

Thanks to the quick actions of the sideline medical team, CPR, and the use of an AED, Daverion’s heart was restarted with two shocks. He was later transferred to Manning Family Children’s where pediatric cardiologist and electrophysiologist Dr. Scott Macicek diagnosed him with commotio cordis—a rare event where a blow to the chest disrupts the heart’s rhythm.

Today, Daverion is not only alive but back on the field with a loop recorder implanted to monitor his heart in real-time and has regular follow-up care with his cardiology team.

His remarkable recovery is inspiring his teammates, his community, and reminding families why CPR training and AED awareness truly save lives. Read more about Daverion’s comeback and how faith, fast action, and expert care made all the difference >> https://bit.ly/4ni79KI

When 5-year-old Jonah from Long Beach, MS was diagnosed with an ultra-rare genetic mutation that caused kidney failure, his family’s world turned upside down. After dialysis and a long fight, Jonah received a life-saving kidney transplant at Manning Family Children’s in New Orleans.

“Right now, we have the capacity to provide life-saving dialysis even to infants. We have close to 30 patients on dialysis now, from infants to adolescents. As a pediatric transplant center, we can also perform kidney transplants if that becomes a necessity,” said Dr. Diego Aviles, Manning Family Children’s Chief of Pediatric Nephrology. “We have the best three-year outcomes for kidney transplant patients in this region. We have done 250 kidney transplants. This November, it will be 30 years since we performed our first kidney transplant.”

Today, Jonah is back to being the energetic, playful kid his family always knew he could be. Read his full story on NOLA.com at https://bit.ly/4nDdwI9.

In 1985, Manning Family Children’s first established a child abuse program to provide medical care to child victims at no cost to families. The CARE Center and Child Advocacy Center have grown exponentially since that time – housing a variety of services including medical evaluations, forensic interviewing, trauma therapy and case management. The Center helps more children receive the care they need when there are concerns of abuse, neglect or child trafficking, with a trauma-informed, multidisciplinary approach.

Just last year, our specially trained physicians and nurse practitioners at the Morgan Rae Center for Hope helped more than 1,400 kids facing the unthinkable. However, there are thousands more children that still need help—which is why we are so excited to have been selected as a regional finalist for Chick-fil-A's True Inspiration Awards, in support of the Morgan Rae Center for Hope. We have the opportunity to earn up to $200,000 in funding through a public voting process that runs September 2 – 30, 2025.

Help us win this lifechanging $200,000 grant—all you have to do is vote!

Ten-year-old Rylan is a 5th grader with a big imagination, a love for Roblox, and a sense of humor that keeps his family laughing. He also happens to live with sickle cell disease—but it doesn’t define him.

With the care and support of pediatric hematologist-oncologist Dr. Cori Morrison and the team at Manning Family Children’s, Rylan has learned how to manage his condition through a mix of medications and lifestyle changes. Daily folic acid and hydroxyurea help protect his health, while simple adjustments—like drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated, keeping warm to avoid sudden temperature changes, and resting when his body needs it—help reduce the risk of painful sickle cell crises. Thanks to these steps and consistent follow-up care, most of the time Rylan doesn’t need to be hospitalized.

His mom, Tyriana, says Dr. Morrison and the care team have made all the difference: “From the very start, Dr. Morrison answered all my questions and explained everything so clearly. She always takes the time to make sure I understand and feel comfortable with Rylan’s care. I can tell she truly wants the best for him, and that means so much as a parent.”

September is National Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) Awareness month. This month and every month, we celebrate the tiniest fighters among us – the brave infants and their families in the NICU. Meet one of these tiny fighters today: Estelle! 💚

When Estelle Dunaway was born full-term, her parents expected a smooth delivery. But within hours, she was struggling to breathe and later diagnosed with persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN). Airlifted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Manning Family Children’s, Estelle received critical care, including ECMO support to help stabilize her.

But Estelle’s challenges didn’t end there. As her lungs improved, she struggled to feed, a clue that led doctors to diagnose a rare endocrine disorder preventing her body from producing essential hormones needed for feeding, growth, and development. The condition extended her NICU stay to 71 days and required a feeding tube and on-going therapy. Through it all, her parents, Emily and JD, leaned on their faith and the dedicated care team who supported them every step of the way.

“There were so many talented and compassionate caregivers—her doctors, nurses, therapists, even the cleaning staff,” said the Dunaways. “Everyone who came into Estelle’s room was kind and thoughtful. We had to trust the Lord and the care team. Whether it went the way we wanted or not, we had peace knowing that God was in control.”

Today, Estelle is thriving at home—off the feeding tube, full of personality, and getting ready to become a big sister. She continues to receive follow-up care with her endocrinologist Dr. Ricardo Gomez to monitor her hormone levels and support her healthy development.
