Emma's Story
My name is Emma Adele Slade. I’m the youngest of three girls and an identical to another sister. I’m a triplet! Born 15 weeks early weighing only 1 pound 2 ounces, I’m the smallest of the three. The doctors were not sure if I would be big enough to intubate so my mommy and daddy had to discuss and make some serious decisions with the doctor before I was born. I was bigger than expected so I spent 95 days in the NICU at the Medical Center. During my stay, I had many procedures and ended up going home on oxygen, but as the months passed I no longer needed it.
Without the Children’s Miracle Network, I would not be here. This facility was here in my community to provide the care and treatment needed for my sisters and me. The equipment, supplies, and staff in the NICU were an important part of my care. Without CMN, this would not be possible. Thank you CMN and AUDM for all you do for the babies!
Love, Emma Slade

Gracie's Story
My name is Gracie Leigh Slade. I’m one of three girls. I was born 15 weeks early at 1 pound 6 ounces. I’m a triplet- the middle sister! I spent 95 days in the NICU at the Medical Center. When I was seven days old, I became very ill with an infection that resulted in my body starting to shut down. I was given a very small chance to live due to the degree and type of infection. My momma and daddy along with both sets of grandparents sat by my bedside all night. I finally pulled through but was intubated much longer than my sisters and required closer care and monitoring. I went home on oxygen but after 6 months no longer needed it.
CMNH has provided the urgent care, equipment, and supplies and staff that I needed. Without CMN, I would not be here today. CMN has given my sisters and me a chance of life, something that my momma and daddy are so grateful and thankful for. Thank you CMN and AUDM for this wonderful facility at the Medical Center! Without your generous donations this would not be possible.

Isabelle's Story
My name is Isabelle Reese Slade. I’m a triplet born 15 weeks premature. I’m the oldest of three girls and was the biggest at 1 pound 14 ounces. I spent 102 days in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the Medical Center. During my hospital stay I had several surgeries and multiple procedures. I have mild cerebral palsy due to a brain hemorrhage when I was only a few days old. I continue with physical therapy occupational therapy twice a month, which has helped me to do lots of things that I may not have been able to do.
The Children’s Miracle Network has done so much for me, my sisters, and my family. Without CMN I’m not sure if I would be here. The NICU staff, the equipment and supplies are an important part of care for all of the premature babies born. Without CMN, I’m not sure this facility would exist in this community. Thank you CMN and AUDM for all you do For The Kids!
