Today, Aveanna is proud to show our support for our patients with Trisomy 18, also known as Edwards syndrome.
Aveanna patient Hadassa was born last August and lives with Trisomy 18, ventricular septal defect, and respiratory challenges. Her complex medical needs made home care a priority for her family when she was ready to come home from the hospital for the first time.
Her local Aveanna team wasted no time identifying a nurse who could provide the care Hadassa and her family needed. Nurse Rosario monitors her G-tube feedings and provides supplemental oxygen and nocturnal BiPAP support, all while nurturing Hadassa's development on her unique care journey. Her warmth, positivity, and knowledge gives Hadassa's family the peace of mind that their precious addition can stay safe at home where she belongs.
Today and every day, we celebrate patients like Hadassa and share our gratitude to the caregivers who stand beside them. Thank you for all you do!
