⚾️❤️🐗 Arkansas Children's patient 9-year-old Anderson Miller threw the first pitch at a recent Arkansas Razorback Baseball game!
Diagnosed with hypogammaglobulinemia, eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease (EGID), Down syndrome and anemia, Anderson has spent many nights at Arkansas Children’s Hospital in Little Rock and Arkansas Children’s Northwest (ACNW) in Springdale receiving the specialized care he needs.
Because he doesn’t have much of an immune system, Anderson receives intravenous immunoglobulin treatments at ACNW. His dad, Ron, shares, “His life has been saved and his future enabled by the brilliant minds and hands in both Springdale and Little Rock.”
Anderson is nonverbal, but according to his dad, he has "the best laugh you've ever heard," and he is rapidly learning to speak with his augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) device, aka his "talker."
He loves heavy metal music, Peppa Pig and playing in water – and now he can add throwing out a first pitch at Baum-Walker Stadium to the list.
Go Anderson and Go Hogs!
