1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,320
Speaker 1: The Fresh Show is on.

2
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 2: Hey, good morning everybody, It's the Frend Show. We're live

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 2: at Larry Children's Hospital in the heart of Chicago, and

4
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 2: it sounds like we're broadcasting from a hospital cafeteria, because

5
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 2: that's exactly what we're doing. Good morning, Kiki, how you doing,

6
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Paulina, Hi Kaitlin, Good morning, Hi,

7
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 2: Jason Rob. I mean this. We're using aoll instant messenger

8
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 2: to broadcast this morning. I mean, I really have knowing

9
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 2: he yes, right, there's duct tape involved. I mean, there's

10
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 2: somebody was soldering something earlier. I know. I mean the

11
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 2: fact that we're on the radio for tens of people

12
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 2: right now, it's truly remarkable. But it doesn't matter. It

13
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 2: doesn't matter because today is all about raising money for

14
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 2: Larry Children's Hospital, raising money for the kids. This is

15
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,639
Speaker 2: an incredible resource that we have in our backyard in Chicago,

16
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 2: a place that I'll say this all morning, a million times.

17
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: It's a place that I hope that nobody ever has

18
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 2: to visit with their children. But if you do, this

19
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: is exactly the place that you want to have in

20
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 2: your backyard. Some of the best care in the world

21
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 2: is available right here. But we have to help raise

22
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: money because there are lots of people who can't afford this,

23
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 2: and then there are lots of people who can benefit

24
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 2: from the innovations that are happening here. Last year was

25
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 2: a million bucks, right that we raised. iHeart Media Chicago,

26
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: all the stations could buy, raised around a million dollars.

27
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: This year, we're going for a billion.

28
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, hik.

29
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, big b and I that's there's a different

30
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: kind of big bea and then what we're talking about yesterday,

31
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 2: this is a different kind of big be than we've

32
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 2: talked about other times. I'm short, but oh no, I

33
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,839
Speaker 2: know it's for the kids, but it's also the friend show.

34
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 2: So like, let's face it right now, honestly two minutes.

35
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: I mean, the bottom line is you get what you

36
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: get just because we're here. It doesn't mean we're not us.

37
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: You know, we'll get the job done, don't you worry.

38
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: That's the thing, you know, it's it's it's a heavy topic,

39
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: but we hope to make it somewhat entertaining, but we

40
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 2: also need your money. Uh. And it's really that simple.

41
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,760

49
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 2: sound like I'm in a Sarah MacLaughlin commercial, but it

50
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,839
Speaker 2: really is that simple. I mean, I think most people

51
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: have sixty seven cents a day that they could give

52
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: to this incredible organization, this incredible hospital that's here in Chicago,

57
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 2: human growing inside. Like it's just now, what about four.

58
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 3: Months in, We're.

59
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 2: Five months in, We're we're just now beginning to realize that,

60
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 2: like there's a human being in there. It's gonna come.

61
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 3: Out after the holidays yet, right, and then.

62
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: And you're responsible for this child's well being. Yeah, And

63
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,119
Speaker 2: I mean honestly, all jokes aside, like you start to

64
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: think about all the different possibilities, right, you sort of

65
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 2: think about all the things that will go right and

66
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 2: some of the things that can go wrong. And I mean, honestly,

67
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 2: as a parent, I wonder, I mean, how do you

68
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: exist every day sort of thinking like, oh my god,

69
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 2: I hope nothing ever happens to my child like that.

70
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 2: It's heavy, it's serious.

71
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 4: It's so serious.

72
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 5: It's a legitimate, legitimate fear of mine.

73
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: I think about it every day.

74
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 3: Even though she's not physically here yet, there's still a lot,

75
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 3: right that you know, needs to be done, as far

76
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 3: as her still baking and cooking. But unfortunately that doesn't

77
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 3: always happen, you know what I mean, making cook.

78
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 5: How far along are you? Because we were talking about

79
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 5: this out there, so I'm twenty three weeks okay, so

80
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 5: you're twenty three weeks and you were saying that there's

81
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 5: a ton of videos online of little ones that are

82
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 5: born at twenty three weeks, little prep right, and you

83
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 5: know they would be taken care of at a place

84
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 5: like Lurry right, absolutely in the nick you I think

85
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 5: Lurry just does.

86
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 3: It's just so incredible because it's so hard to think

87
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 3: I'm any parent, you know, what I mean, So imagine

88
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 3: you know, this happening to you, and it could happen

89
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 3: to anybody, And I truly believe that, and I think

90
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 3: that what they do here is.

91
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: Just so incredible.

92
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, we talk about some of the

93
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,000

112
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 2: not only in the medical professionals here, but in the

113
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 2: families and the children who have battled you know, leukemia,

114
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 2: at cancer, all kinds of different ailments and and and one.

115
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 2: And it's because of this place, and it's because of

116
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 2: the resources that that we're able to raise today and

117
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,640

Speaker 2: And yes, we are being evaluated and how much we

120
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 2: can help raise. And I think we get fired if

121
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 2: we don't contribute highly to the billion dollars we're trying

122
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:29,360

Speaker 1: The Fread show Fred show.

124
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,760

125
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 2: for a billion, yeah, and then we get five million,

126
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 2: you know, I think that's a win. We still a right, right, right,

127
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 2: it's it's what is it. I think you're supposed to

Speaker 2: I need to come up with a list of adjectives chasing,

156
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 2: could you work on that. I need you to get

157
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 2: the saurus out, okay, because I think I've used incredible

158
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 2: and amazing already several times.

159
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 8: Incredible, amazing, life changing, never been done.

160
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: And totally mean.

161
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 5: She is the moment.

162
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: She is the moment. This is our giving era.

163
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 2: Tailor. She could shut this whole thing down right now

164
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 2: with a check like honestly, right is just swoop in

165
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 2: here right each other and then we can go back

166
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 2: to being you know, the the uh dearrel like human

167
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 2: beings that we are just the complete and total scrubs

168
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 2: that we are assuming honestly, but here we are amongst,

169
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: truly amongst heroes, doctors, nurses, yes, and patients who are

170
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 2: battling every single day, but lives are saved here every

171
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 2: single day, which is amazing. I mean, we talk about

172
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 2: you know, obviously there are sick children in the hospital

173
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 2: where were broadcasting from right now, but many of those

174
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 2: children are are healed, are cured, are on the path

175
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: to uh, you know, remission from cancer and other things

176
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 2: because of the work that's some at Larri Children's Hospital.

177
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 2: But it's expensive. The innovation is expensive, the medical research

178
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 2: is expensive. You know, all the different services they offer here.

179
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 2: The place is incredible as it pertains to sort of

180
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 2: the experience that children have here. And I know, you know,

181
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 2: I've volunteered here for a long time with Cal's Angels

182
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 2: and other organizations. And I know that you guys took

183
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 2: a tour. But I mean they don't miss a beat.

184
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 2: They think of everything. I mean one year I hosted

185
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 2: a sneaker ball that they did here that was broadcast

186
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 2: on a TV network that they have just for the hospital.

187
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 2: And they have a studio and they do programming every

188
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 2: single day for the kids to watch. They can call

189
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 2: in and interact and they can win prizes. And I

190
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 2: mean it's kind of thing that you don't really think about,

191
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 2: but if you're confined to a hospital bed for extended

192
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 2: period of time, you got to be you want to

193
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 2: be entertained. They think of that. I mean they think

194
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 2: of everything. In fact, you guys saw you took it

195
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 2: to her last week and you saw some theme rooms

196
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 2: that they have.

197
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, they have so many awesome like I want to

198
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 5: call them therapy rooms because I think the kids get

199
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 5: to forget about what they're dealing with when they're in them.

200
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 5: My favorite and Jason's favorite, I think was the music room.

201
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, but they had so many different instruments that kids

202
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 8: could just come down and play with and learn how

203
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 8: to express themselves, and different records and different ways to

204
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 8: experience like music. Because there's so many different things that

205
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 8: can positively affect these kids that this hospital just thinks

206
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 8: about that I didn't even knew where possible hindred percent.

207
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 5: There's a broadcast room if they want to put on

208
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 5: a little broadcast, which is amazing. There's a room with

209
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 5: a big, huge iron Man for the Marvel fans. There

210
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 5: were Star Wars stuff in there. I mean they think

211
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 5: of everything, and there's literal statistics. Wow, I can say

212
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 5: that word again. Finally that's get get it out. But

213
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 5: it shows that you know, music, therapy and all this stuff,

214
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 5: it really does improve and help with recovery. So they

215
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 5: think of everything, not just for the kids, but for

216
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 5: the families. I mean, there's a salon for the parents

217
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 5: who can't go get their hair done because they're here

218
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 5: so much with their kids. You can get your hair done,

219
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 5: you can get a massage, while your child is in treatment.

220
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 5: You don't even have to leave these doors.

221
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 2: Right Yeah, and you'll hear you probably heard me tell

222
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 2: the story before, and I'll tell it throughout the morning.

223
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 2: But I was a patient at Phoenix Children's Hospital as

224
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 2: a kid. I had menagiitis when I was three years old,

225
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 2: lost to hearing in my left ear. I was there

226
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 2: for about three weeks, and you know, my mom and

227
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 2: family they or left. I was never left alone throughout

228
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 2: the entire experience. But also at that time, there weren't

229
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 2: resources like this. I mean, there wasn't a bed in

230
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 2: the room that pulled out for my mom to sleep on.

231
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 2: There wasn't a salon. There wasn't you know, the cafeteria

232
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 2: and the food services they have he there wasn't. There's

233
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 2: none of that. There was none of this sort of

234
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 2: I hate to use the word entertainment, but there was

235
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 2: there was nothing like none of this was available at

236
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 2: that time. All of the things that they're doing now

237
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 2: for the patient experience didn't exist. My mom slept in

238
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 2: a chair for three and a half weeks. And and

239
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 2: I can't I'm not a parent, poling is about to

240
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 2: be I cannot imagine the feeling of having a sick

241
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 2: kid and there's not much that you can do and

242
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 2: you're relying on, you know, the services of the hospital

243
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 2: to provide for you. But then also the sort of

244
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 2: the lifestyle change that comes from having to care for

245
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 2: a kid in the hospital. You know, whether it's you know,

246
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 2: getting to and from or whether it's a place to

247
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: sleep or bathe or eat or you know whatever. You

248
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 2: know as a parent, I can't imagine the toll that

249
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 2: that takes. And they've out of all of those things.

250
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 2: So we need to raise money to help support this organization.

251
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,120

Speaker 2: listening now did that it would make an enormous difference.

263
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 5: I mean that is like two drinks at the bar

264
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 5: or maybe one.

265
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: If where are you drinking? Where you go?

266
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,480

00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,719
Speaker 1: On with you?

272
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 5: Literally?

273
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 2: Well that I'm paying so you wouldn't know what it costs.

274
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: But that's a fight independent Yeah.

275
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 2: Wait, none of you pay for anything when I was

276
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 2: that type of life. Okay, at the guy with gray

277
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 2: hair pulls out the credit you with.

278

280
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: That's true. You're very generous, but you're exactly right. I mean,

281
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 2: the truth is we spend twenty bucks, you know, on

282
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 2: a lunch or a cocktail or a coffee or something.

283
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 2: And I think most people, and I'll speak for myself,

284
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 2: could spare that to give to an organization like this.

285
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 2: But even if you can't do that, you know, a

Speaker 2: five bucks, ten bucks, twenty one time donation. The other

00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 2: all day today right now with the Fred Show.

361
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 6: I'm Liam. I am from Mount Prospect, Illinois, and three

362
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 6: years ago in twenty twenty, I was taken to Luri's

363
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 6: for some specialized testing and I was diagnosed with acute

364
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 6: my little leukemia, which would obviously require more treatment and.

365
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: Stuff like that.

366
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 6: But I'm very glad I was treated there because through

367
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 6: all of the chemotherapy, all the various treatments in fusions, radiation,

368
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 6: they were all like the best people that I could

369
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 6: ask for. Every buddy there, the nurses, the doctors, all

370
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 6: of them were just super nice and combassionate through all

371
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 6: of it. After a while, I was diagnosed with GDHD,

372
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 6: which is a scrappers host disease. I spent a lot

373
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 6: of time with the nurses. I honestly kind of got

374
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 6: to get them like friends, like real friends with them. Yeah,

375
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 6: we found out that I would need a stem cell

376
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 6: transplant to get rid of all the bad cancer cells,

377
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 6: like midway through my first chemotherapy round, and turned out

378
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 6: that one of my brothers was a match and we celebrated.

379
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 6: He gave me my new stem cells. Personally, I think

380
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 6: it's really important to donate because you don't really realize

381
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 6: it until you've actually gone through something like this. But

382
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 6: some stories to make you feel a little bit more

383
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 6: like compassionate towards others. Lurry's has like everything that you

384
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 6: need because of all the generous owners, the foundations they support.

385
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 6: If you can put yourself in someone's shoes, I feel

386
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 6: like it shows why you need to support them because

387
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 6: all the child in life, all the activities like hospital bingo,

388
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 6: all the amazing doctors, nurses and music therapists, they're all

389
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 6: there for you. So that making terrible experience like going

390
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 6: through cancer with all the treatments, into a lot better

391
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 6: of an experience by making new friends and just having

392
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 6: a little bit of fun fowl going through between them,

393
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 6: especially during the holidays season. Because actually I was at

394
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 6: Liberty's during the holidays on Christmas morning. I was amazed

395
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 6: by how many gifts I got, and just like that,

396
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 6: all the amazing people that donated to Liberties were able

397
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 6: to make that happen.

398
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 5: I like Lyama said, They've really done a good job.

399
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 9: Of making things going through the horrific treatments a little

400
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:51,760

486
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 2: impossible not to it really is, but ye did you

487
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 2: see it?

488
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 8: I think my favorite part was not only that they

489
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,959
Speaker 8: have these amazing rooms and resources for kids to come

490
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 8: down and experience while they're here at the hospital, but

491
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 8: I think my fate.

492
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: One of my favorite rooms was the library and oh

493
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: my gosh, one thing that hit me when.

494
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 8: We were on the tour, especially in the library, is

495
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 8: this is this isn't state funded. This is all through

496
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 8: donation that they can do these amazing things. They have

497
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 8: books for kids of all ages. They had cool like

498
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 8: stars in the skylights, star lights when you turn the

499
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 8: light like it was so viby and relaxing. And imagine

500
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,199
Speaker 8: going through something like these kids are going through here

501
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 8: and being able to have a space like that to

502
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 8: come and just vibe out and get from a different

503
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 8: state of mind when you're dealing with stuff such heavy,

504
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 8: hard stuff that was so inspirational. And that's all things

505
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 8: to donors, like like everyone listening.

506
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you think of sorry, Fred, but you think

507
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 5: of all these things that little ones, you know, should

508
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 5: be going through, like school prom, you know, all these

509
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 5: stages of life and they have to miss out on

510
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 5: some of those things. And so they actually have a prom.

511
00:22:58,880 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

512
00:22:59,240 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh my god.

513
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 5: And Jason and I want to go, Yeah, we want

514
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 5: to go this year. Yeah.

515
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 2: And then I was talking about the sneaker ball similar

516
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 2: you know, like dresses are donated and the patients that

517
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 2: are able to be mobile, they come. We hosted one

518
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 2: year and everybody wore their Jordans, and then for the

519
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 2: kids who couldn't come again, they had the TV channel

520
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 2: going inside the hospital and people could call in and

521
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 2: win prizes and things like that. And again, I mean,

522
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 2: I understand we're talking about really sick children here and

523
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 2: illnesses and whatever, but if you've got to be here

524
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 2: for an extended period of time, and we're going to

525
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 2: hear from this morning a patient who the family was

526
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 2: here I think for over five hundred days, I mean,

527
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 2: and at some point you've got to find some form

528
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 2: of normalcy to be able to get through that. And

529
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 2: they're thinking about all those things in addition to all

530
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 2: the you know, truly medical innovations and miracles that are

531
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 2: happening here. And you were talking Kalan about the music

532
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 2: room that they have here, and for a donation of

533
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 2: one hundred bucks, you could help music therapy instruments be

534
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 2: purchased for that room. The hospital setting can be new

535
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 2: and unfamiliar and sometimes really frightening for kids. LARI Children's

536
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 2: understands these feelings. It works to protect the child's physical

537
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 2: and emotional health and well being. The caregivers here have

538
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 2: seen how music therapy helps children express feelings, minimize stress,

539
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 2: alleviate pain, and decrease recovery time. So patients are able

540
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 2: to express their emotions, calm their nerves, and participate in

541
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 2: making soothing music. So a gift to one hundred bucks

542
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 2: can help provide instruments for the music therapists because they

543
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 2: have music therapists here.

544
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, in that room, Jason and I learned about twins

545
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 5: and they weren't really connecting. They weren't really feeling at

546
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 5: home here until they went into that music therapy room

547
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 5: and both the twins started feeling at home, They started

548
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 5: speaking more, their treatments started going better. So it's like

549
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 5: that really can change the game for some kids.

550
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, see lari Children's radio Thon on Kiss found

551
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,040

552
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:55,720

Speaker 2: us fake one, so don't actually ring so like because

557
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,440

Speaker 2: Let's make the biggest possible impact that we can it

569
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 2: eight a three one seven seven three three. Last year

570
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 2: was a million bucks that you guys raised. I say

571
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 2: we we didn't do anything. We talked like idiots. You

572
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 2: guys helped us raise a million bucks in one day

573
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 2: and what is it, seven or eight hours. I think

574
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 2: we can do better than that this year, even though

575
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 2: it's been a tough year for so many people. I

576
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 2: still think we can do better than that. And you're

577
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 2: gonna hear the inspiring stories all morning. We're gonna talk

581
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 2: story because they're not all sad stories. I'd fact, I

582
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 2: think there are probably a lot more happy stories than

583
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 2: there are sad stories. And it's because of the things

584
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 2: that are happening in these walls at Luriy Children's Hospital

585
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 2: where we are right now, and it's because of people

586
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 2: like you that it's able to happen. So the number

587
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,680

Speaker 11: Where is she?

594
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 1: It's probably a pseudonym. She wouldn't use her real name.

595
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 2: You're probably right, funny, you know, by the of the donation,

00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 1: All these are bad.

620
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 12: Are both astonishing organizations, saving children's lives every single day

621
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 12: and creating, you know, innovative ways to treat kids that

622
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 12: that will be sick at some point.

623
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 2: No parent, of course, wants their kid to be to

624
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 2: be sick, but to have a resource like this in

625
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 2: our backyard in Chicago is invaluable. It's it's it's truly

626
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 2: something that we cannot take for granted. But we have

627
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,679
Speaker 2: to support it. We have to feed it, water it

628
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 2: uh to make sure that they have all that they

629
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 2: need to continue to innovate and and uh And really,

630
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 2: I think the thing that we're all most amazed by,

631
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 2: in addition to the lives that are saved, of course,

632
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 2: I mean that's that's obvious, is just that the the

633
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 2: amount of time and energy they put into patient experience,

634
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 2: because these are kids, after all, and and I would

635
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 2: be very scary, I think, to be here and have

636
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 2: to endure a lot of these medical treatments and stuff

637
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 2: like that, and they're doing their best to make life

638
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 2: normal for the patients, and that, in itself, I think

639
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 2: is to be commended, because this is a hard thing

640
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 2: for everybody. And they're also thinking not only about the patients,

641
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 2: but about the families, about the parents, to make the

642
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 2: experience as seamless as they can for them as well.

643
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 2: And then I mean, we can go on and on

644
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 2: about all the disciplines here and the amazing doctors and

645
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 2: the research and the heroic stories and We're gonna hear

646
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 2: a lot of them this morning, like one about Liam,

647
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 2: who was diagnosed with the rare form of leukemia in

648
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 2: the spring of twenty twenty and the community rallied around

649
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 2: him in ways that he's always going to remember. I

650
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 2: want you to listen to this. This is the story

651
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 2: of Liam.

652
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 6: I am Liam. I am from Mount Prospect, Illinois, and

653
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 6: three years ago in twenty twenty, I was taken to

654
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 6: Lerre's for some specialized testing and I was diagnosed with

655
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 6: acute leukemia, which would obviously require more treatment and stuff

656
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 6: like that. But I'm very glad I was treated there

657
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 6: because through all of the chemotherapy, all the various treatments

658
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 6: in fusions, radiation, They're all like the best people that

659
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 6: I could ask for. Everybody there, the doctors, all of

660
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 6: them were just super nice and combassionate through all of it.

661
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 6: After a while, I was diagnosed with GDHD, which is

662
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 6: a scrappers his host disease. I spent a lot of

663
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 6: time with the nurses. I honestly kind of got to

664
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 6: be onlike friends, like real friends with them. Yeah, we

665
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 6: found out that I would need a stem cell transplant

666
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 6: to get rid of all the bad cancer cells, like

667
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 6: midway through my first chemo therapy round and turned out

668
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 6: that one of my brothers was a match and we celebrated.

669
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 6: He gave me my new Stemseelves. Personally, I think it's

670
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 6: really important to donate because you don't really realize it

671
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 6: until you've actually gone through something like this. But some

672
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 6: stories to make you feel a little bit more like

673
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 6: compassionate towards others. Lurie's has like everything that you need

674
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 6: because of all the generous owners, the foundations they support.

675
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 6: If you can put yourself in someone choose, I feel

676
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 6: like it shows why you need to support them because

677
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 6: all the child in life, all the activities like hospital bingo,

678
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 6: all the amazing doctors, nurses and music therapists, they're all

679
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 6: there for you. So that making terrible experience like going

680
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 6: through cancer with all the treatments, into a lot better

681
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 6: of an experience by making new friends and just having

682
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 6: a little bit of fun while going through the treatment,

683
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,959
Speaker 6: especially during the holidays season, because actually I was at

684
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 6: Liberty's during the holidays on Christmas morning, I was amazed

685
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 6: by how many gifts I got, and just like that,

686
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 6: all the amazing people that donated to Liberties were able

687
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 6: to make that happen.

688
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 5: I like Liam's side.

689
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 9: They've really done a good job of making things going

690
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 9: through the horrific treatments a little bit easier.

691
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 6: Thank you for supporting radioson.

692
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,280

Speaker 2: crossed the finish line and celebrated with friends and family,

695

702
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 2: Children's Hospital. It's so one day endeavor. We go hard

703
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 2: on the paint kiki all day to day a day.

704
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 2: It's to raise all the money we need, all the funds.

705
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 2: One I think AJ, one of the thirteen. AJ is amazing.

706
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 2: AJ is always stepping up to help us, becomes all

707
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 2: of our events. We love AJ, We love all the thirteen.

708
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 2: But today's day, look at this.

709
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, he's Jojo the.

710
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 2: I thing from Jewels here. I just wow.

711
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 5: Jojo JJ though did the twenty dollars a month, which

712
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 5: is even better.

713
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: Yeah he did, Oh he did.

714
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 10: Yeah.

715
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 5: Yeah. So I just want to recognize him for that. That's awesome.

716
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 2: It really is. It's so generous and it really is

717
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 2: the easiest way to donate. I realized twenty bucks is

718
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 2: twenty bucks, but it just comes out of your account

719
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 2: each month, and it's automatic, and you're a hero that way.

720
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 2: And if everybody listening did that, it would make such

721
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 2: a huge impact for Larry Children's Hospital. So we're going

722
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 2: to hear from families this morning. We're going to be

723
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 2: idiots all morning because we cannot be trusted to be professional.

724
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 2: We will not be professional, but we will raise all

725
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 2: of the money that we possibly can. We are going

726
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 2: to literally reach into your pockets and take the money

727
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 2: out and put it in their bank account so they

728
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 2: can continue to or otherwise Kiki will come after you. Yes,

729
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:35,840

Speaker 2: They were looking at you, and they gave you a choice.

732
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 2: It was either pay the toll way or donate the

733
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 2: money to Luriy. You opted to give the money to Lurie.

734
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: I did.

735
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 5: I gave all my money to Luriy.

736
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 7: In case any of my bill collectors are listening, all

737
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 7: my money is now gone, so I don't have anything left,

738
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 7: and it's all for a great cause.

786
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:53,520

00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 2: sitting next to you? What, what's the what's what is this?

791
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:07,800
Speaker 13: It's it's Shender Neutral.

792
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 2: Well, of course it.

793
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 13: Is hugely popular, hugely.

794
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:12,760
Speaker 5: We launched it.

795
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 13: It was born in twenty seventeen, and I tell you

796
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 13: when we go to stores, people loved taking the photograph.

797
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,919
Speaker 13: And the best part of today, in addition to raising

798
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 13: all this money, is that it Jojo Jojo is going

799
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 13: to visit some of the kids as well too.

800
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: Toys and gifts that don't jewelscos don't need it.

801
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 2: Well, sh that's great. I think kids will love it. Yeah,

802
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 2: I'm a little frightened actually myself.

803
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 5: Why do people say that, No.

804
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 2: It's not Jojo and JoJo's not speaking. JoJo's mouth is

805
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 2: permanently open. Yes, but how would you at Yojo the

806
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 2: Jewel Losco mascots that are people who can't see Jojo.

807
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 5: Okay, well, JoJo's a little top heavy. There's some teeny.

808
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 2: Little legs, yeah, very very little legs.

809
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, broad shoulder on Jojo. But you know,

810
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 5: very very handsome and beautiful.

811
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 1: Both of the things.

812
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:10,320
Speaker 2: Don't think approachable. I don't, actually I don't. In a

813
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 2: furry too, that which which appeals to a whole different demographic.

814
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 2: What are you scratching Jojo like yet? Anyways, there's a

815
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 2: there's a one eyed, permanently mouthed, red furry Jeulasco. It

816
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 2: looking at me right now and it hasn't stopped.

817
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 13: Great, we like to go with mascot. We'll use the

818
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 13: word mascot. Okay, okay, all right.

819
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 2: By the way, Mary from Jewelasco, you have probably the

820
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 2: most fancy title I've ever seen, Director of Communications, Public

821
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 2: Affairs and Government Relations.

822
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 13: Oh off, queen, Yeah, it would be correct, but it's

823
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 13: it's not as fancy as all of your titles.

824
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 1: I'm not the town.

825
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 2: Do you even have a title?

826
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 5: I don't have one of those.

827
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 2: Why is the government relations person even talking to us

828
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 2: at all? I don't think we're even worthy it.

829
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 13: You're just making sure that we're compliant, you know, with legislations,

830
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 13: all that stuff we follow, you know, what needs to

831
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 13: go on, grocery life legislation here in the state federal level.

832
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 2: They are talking to clown radio personalities too, So it's

833
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 2: really a range of things that you do.

834
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 1: Correct press.

835
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 2: So we're here today, all jokes aside, I'll be professional

836
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 2: for just one second. We're here to raise money for

837
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 2: Louri Children's Hospital, which is an incredibly important research resource

838
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 2: not only in the country, in the world, but it's

839
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 2: right here in our backyard in Chicago. And you guys

840
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 2: at Jewelasco are committed to community partnerships like this one.

841
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 2: What are some of the things that you're doing. When

842
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 2: people go and they shop at jewel Osco, they should

843
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 2: know that you're doing incredible things in Chicago Land.

844
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 13: Every day, absolutely, we give tens of millions of pounds

845
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 13: of food away through our Fresh Rescue program to the

846
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 13: five major food banks that we serve, so Northern Illinois

847
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:42,320
Speaker 13: Food Bank, Greater Chicago Food Depository, food Bank of Northwest Indiana,

848
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 13: Midwest and Riverbend. And we have you know, one hundred

849
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 13: and eighty eight stores. So we give more to the

850
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 13: food banks where we have a larger population of stores,

851
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 13: and so that they come to our they come and

852
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 13: pick it up, and this is they go to the

853
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 13: food banks and then they go to they're given out

854
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,919
Speaker 13: through the food pantry. So we do a lot of

855
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 13: what we can do to help people and need because

856
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 13: we should be doing that, and that's exactly we do.

857
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 13: It's all part of our community commitment.

858
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 2: Right. We have one hundred and eighty eight stores in

859
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 2: the Chicagoland area and at the at the registers alone,

860
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,439
Speaker 2: your customers have helped raise three point five million dollars

861
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 2: for local organizations too. So it's not just you know,

862
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 2: you guys are amazing, but you're using this.

863
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 13: And not annually, by the way, that's annually. So our

864
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 13: customers are unbelievable. We got Holiday Buck's going on right

865
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 13: now as well too. They are unbelievable, so kind and

866
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 13: know that the need is so great out there and

867
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 13: they could do anything they can to help. So I

868
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 13: would encourage our customers to continue to do that and

869
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 13: thank you so much to the bottom of our hearts.

870
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Mary from Jewel Losco. You know we talk

871
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 2: about how we're I'm using air quotes that you can't

872
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 2: see because they're not on TV, which I don't know

873
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 2: why we're not. We should totally be on TV. But anyway,

874
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 2: we should never be on TV. But I'm using air

875
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 2: quotes because I say we are raising you know, Jewelasco

876
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 2: and the radio stations, we're raising money for Leary, but

877
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 2: we're not. It's the people listening right now and their generosity.

878
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 2: It's their money. They're the ones doing the hard work.

879
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:05,399
Speaker 2: But you guys are incentivizing people this hour, this hour

880
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 2: specifically to donate. So what's that about.

881
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 13: Well, it's Jewel Osco being out in the community, being

882
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 13: with Lourie's and all the great work that Laurie's Children's

883
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 13: Hospital does and meeting some of the parents and seeing

884
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 13: some of the kids that are a part of Loriri's

885
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 13: and all of how they've helped. And so Jewel Osco

886
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 13: always wants to be a part of that. We are

887
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:27,280
Speaker 13: community committed.

888
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, And so this hour specifically, you're matching two hundred

889
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 2: monthly donors at twenty bucks a month. So if we

890
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 2: can get to that this hour, all the radio stations

891
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,439
Speaker 2: from I heard Chicago at eight eight, eight, three, one, seven,

892
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 2: seven three three or Leary Children is that organ Slaze

893
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 2: Radio thon or you can also text Luri l u

894
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 2: Rie to five one five five five. If we can

895
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 2: get two hundred monthly donors at twenty bucks a month,

896
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:50,280
Speaker 2: and Jewel Losco will match.

897
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 13: That, absolutely will will, and I think we'll get that

898
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 13: or even double that.

899
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 2: Which is a lot of money. It's exactly almost two

900
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars and that is awesome.

901
00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 13: You come here and you see the parents, but you

902
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 13: see the smiles on the kids faces and they look

903
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 13: great and they're doing really well, and that's what's important.

904
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 13: And the more money we get, the more research involved,

905
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 13: and then we can help cure, Yeah, what's going on

906
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 13: out there, and that's what's important.

907
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 5: So many of the little ones that I've talked to

908
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 5: talk about their nurses and their doctors like their real family.

909
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 5: And that's what I love. Like they all have a

910
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,760
Speaker 5: favorite nurse or a favorite doctor and you can tell

911
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 5: like they're eyes laid up. They feel at home here.

912
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 13: Well absolutely, And I have some nurse friends and they

913
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 13: all say the same thing. There's that absolute connection there

914
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 13: and they strive.

915
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 1: To do all of that.

916
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 13: So shout out to all the nurses and doctors, everybody

917
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:34,359

00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 15: sick kids.

1081
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, But even then, there are a lot of

1082
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,799
Speaker 2: happy stories, right, a lot of live saves and people

1083
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 2: that wind up leaving and walking out of here, even

1084
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:22,360
Speaker 2: despite all of that, right, definitely.

1085
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 11: I think the reason I stay in the nick you

1086
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:24,879
Speaker 11: is I see these kids.

1087
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 15: They're so resilient, and in every pediatric unit they're just

1088
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:29,880
Speaker 15: the most resilient patients.

1089
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 11: So I continue to stay.

1090
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 15: Here, and they do amazing things and we see, yes,

1091
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 15: definitely tons of miracles, tons of live saved and all that.

1092
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and and all jokes aside. I mean, I

1093
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 2: feel like people like you who work as hard as

1094
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 2: you do as many days in a row, and I

1095
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:49,880
Speaker 2: know you're not, you know, millionaires for doing it, I

1096
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 2: feel like it's a it's a calling, like it's did

1097
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 2: you do?

1098
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 16: You?

1099
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 2: Feel like you were born to do it because it's

1100
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 2: a very special kind of person who can especially in

1101
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:59,400
Speaker 2: you know, sort of high, critically high areas of the hospital.

1102
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,080
Speaker 2: It's got to be really sort of taxing on you.

1103
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:04,840
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think I knew since I knew since I

1104
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 11: was in sixth.

1105
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 15: Grade that I wanted to go into medicine, definitely pediatrics,

1106
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:12,320
Speaker 15: but yeah, I guess some sort of calling.

1107
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 11: So I always had that ingrained in me that I

1108
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 11: wanted to help others, especially kids.

1109
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 2: Go ahead and say it. I'm a hero. Go ahead

1110
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 2: say it. Say it about you.

1111
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 1: Come on up, I'll say it for her.

1112
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:24,439
Speaker 5: She's a hero.

1113
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:26,840
Speaker 11: No, I's my job, and I'm so lucky to do

1114
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 11: what I do.

1115
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. And so one of your patients was Autumn and

1116
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:34,719
Speaker 2: she was born one point one pounds and after five

1117
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:36,919
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty four days in the hospital, she went

1118
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 2: home in twenty twenty two. Five hundred and twenty four days.

1119
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:41,920
Speaker 2: That's almost two years that she was here and you

1120
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 2: treated here. What was that like?

1121
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:44,320
Speaker 11: It was amazing.

1122
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 15: So I first met Tyler as her mom in autumn.

1123
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 15: They came delivery children's from another hospital, another institution, to

1124
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 15: kind of get a second opinion, and I remember the

1125
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 15: first day we met, I got randomly assigned to them,

1126
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 15: and Tyler was definitely a mama bear, and I said,

1127
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:05,279
Speaker 15: I think we're going to get along. So after that,

1128
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:07,399
Speaker 15: Autumn was really sick at the time that I picked

1129
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:10,959
Speaker 15: her up. We do primary nursing at Lari's. We tried

1130
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 15: to as best we can, and so then I followed

1131
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 15: her throughout her stay. So those last couple hundred days,

1132
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 15: I was with her and her mom every day that

1133
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 15: I work. So they are incredible. Talk about resiliency, Autumn

1134
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 15: is the most resilient patient. You'll see her hopefully soon,

1135
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:30,400
Speaker 15: but she's incredible and her mom I cannot speak better

1136
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 15: things about her mom. True advocate, and she was there

1137
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 15: every day of her stay.

1138
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:36,880
Speaker 2: I mean, the hope that you have to have, I

1139
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:39,280
Speaker 2: would have to imagine to be here for almost two years.

1140
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:40,839
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure there are days where you think

1141
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 2: we're never leaving. I'm sure that. I mean, I can't

1142
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,800
Speaker 2: even imagine the psychology behind all that. So you're a cheerleader,

1143
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:48,359
Speaker 2: You're a caregiver, You're I mean, this is it's all

1144
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:49,399
Speaker 2: encompassing your role.

1145
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1146
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:53,400
Speaker 15: One I love one parent phrase at who's going to

1147
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:54,400
Speaker 15: be my kid's quarterback?

1148
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 2: And I love it.

1149
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:57,359
Speaker 11: Oh, I love that because you truly are.

1150
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:00,360
Speaker 15: You take on the role of advocacy and you know

1151
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 15: just and yeah, talking with them day to day just

1152
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 15: about you know, the hope and getting out of the

1153
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:09,920
Speaker 15: hospital and making things fun in the hospital too. We

1154
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,239
Speaker 15: did a lot of holidays with Autumn in the hospital

1155
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 15: and just made it as homelike as we could.

1156
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:16,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, Nicole and nurse at their children's hospital. And we're

1157
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 2: raising money today with your help for the people listening now.

1158
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 2: And they're like, why why should I give money? It's

1159
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 2: tight and that we don't have a lot of it

1160
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 2: and most people don't right now, Why would you say

1161
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 2: it's important to donate, Well, it's important to donate.

1162
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 15: We get so many donations over the years, and we

1163
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 15: just continue to have so many patients that have so

1164
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:40,720
Speaker 15: many needs, developmental needs and that kind of thing. So

1165
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 15: the donations would help us, you know, provide these toys

1166
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 15: that we don't have for every child that we have

1167
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 15: to borrow or you know, wait till the child is

1168
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 15: discharged to use for baby swings that these kids are

1169
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 15: soothed by when their nurse is taking care of another patient,

1170
00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 15: and just for other resources.

1171
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 11: Research.

1172
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:04,840
Speaker 15: Everything helps, even a dollar, two dollars, ten dollars, it

1173
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:05,879
Speaker 15: all goes for something good.

1174
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I got to think that people, hopefully people

1175
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:10,239
Speaker 2: listening with kids out they never have to come here, right,

1176
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 2: they'll never visit this place. I hope they'll never see it.

1177
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 2: But for the people that do you know this is

1178
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 2: where these donations come in. Hey, this is why it's important.

1179
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:20,480

1180
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:23,279
Speaker 7: there's always somebody here to help. They take in every

1181
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:25,279

1207
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:21,920
Speaker 2: In the Fred Show one O three five, we're live

1208
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:23,240
Speaker 2: with Lurid Children's for the radio.

1209
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 4: Thought the hospital, a doctor was like, we got to

1210
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 4: deliver this baby. Are you gonna die?

1211
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 1: One point.

1212
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:30,879
Speaker 4: I was able to put my finger on her because

1213
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 4: that's how tiny she was. It was a rough journey

1214
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 4: and I stayed at the hospital for six months until

1215
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:38,640
Speaker 4: they couldn't handle her no more. She has BPD. Her

1216
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:41,720
Speaker 4: lungs were undeveloped. People don't realize your baby rolls at

1217
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 4: the end of your pregnancy. So I knew of Lori's,

1218
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:45,919
Speaker 4: but I didn't really know because of course I didn't

1219
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 4: have to deal with this. One of the best children's hospitals,

1220
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:50,719
Speaker 4: so of course I'm like, okay, I'm waiting, and he

1221
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:52,720
Speaker 4: got me in. It was like, okay, we're gonna transport

1222
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 4: this day. Our team is gonna come ya. I'm like,

1223
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 4: y'all team.

Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:57,719
Speaker 4: They called me and told me, hey, this is what's

1226
00:53:57,760 --> 00:53:58,440
Speaker 4: gonna happen?

1227
00:53:58,600 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 1: How long was she out?

1228
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 5: Lori is five hundred and twenty four days.

1229
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,360
Speaker 4: One thing about Laurie's is I do love that the

1230
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:06,440
Speaker 4: Ron McDonald house is like right here. We don't have

1231
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 4: to worry about Oh my god, I got hurt and

1232

Speaker 4: get rid. So they supply so much got thee. My

1233
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 4: baby was down bad when she got to Laurie's, Like

1234
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:30,360
Speaker 4: she was dropping dead on that table. That people don't realize,

1235
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 4: Like even the day before we got transport to Lourie's.

1236
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 4: Literally all I could do was pray, let her body

1237
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:41,360
Speaker 4: rest and grow. They don't realize the mental state parents

1238
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:43,319
Speaker 4: go through. Just not what they own kids, but for

1239
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:46,399
Speaker 4: other kids. We see the death, we see the life.

1240
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 4: We see kids go home and it's amazing, but we

1241
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 4: also see kids we don't make it. Don't make it.

1242
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 4: Lauris do make it easy. Other hospitals don't have the

1243
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:55,879
Speaker 4: resources or anything to.

1244
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:56,840

1249
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:09,440
Speaker 4: I'm at home by myself, you really can't take a

1250
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 4: bathroom break. Okay, you really can't sleep fully with a

Speaker 11: Oh, I got your.

1348
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:29,920
Speaker 5: Fred So you know, a lot of people haven't been

1349
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:32,880
Speaker 5: to Paris. But there's a museum called the Louver there.

1350
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:34,520
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, and.

1351
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:37,040
Speaker 5: What you think the most famous piece of art there

1352
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:38,000
Speaker 5: is the Mona Lisa.

1353
00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:40,520
Speaker 2: Well, people think that, but that would be a mistake.

1354
00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 5: That would be a mistake because it's Herminia. It is

1355
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:47,240
Speaker 5: there is a painting there. You obviously can't touch it

1356
00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:49,480
Speaker 5: because they want it to be preserved till the end of.

1357
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:52,320
Speaker 18: Time, right, I mean for generations to come right, because

1358
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 18: everyone needs to see that beauty.

1359
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, not just us.

1360
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:56,360
Speaker 5: That would be selfish.

1361
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 2: People are hoping that Herminia will live until the end

1362
00:59:58,520 --> 00:59:59,360
Speaker 2: of time, but it's not.

1363
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:02,120
Speaker 5: Well, we are working on it scientifically, Lily.

1364
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 2: There are innovations just like that happening. Yeah, what a

1365
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 2: fantastic transition, Kalin. That was so good. Monthly donations is

1366
01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:12,680
Speaker 2: what we're looking for this hour. Specifically, twenty dollars a

1367
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:15,520
Speaker 2: month to make you a monthly partner, sixty seven cents

1368
01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:17,280
Speaker 2: a day, which if you break it down, I think

1369
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 2: we've all got less than a dollar a day that

1370
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:21,320
Speaker 2: we could give to Larry Children's Hospital, a place that

1371
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 2: I hope that if you have kids you never have

1372
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 2: to visit, but if you do, you're going to want

1373
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:28,560
Speaker 2: them to be. You want to support this organization because

1374
01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:32,040
Speaker 2: they're doing medical research here that they're innovating, they're saving lives.

1375
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:35,800
Speaker 2: Not only that, but they're focused on the patient experience,

1376
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:37,800
Speaker 2: which is something that you might not think a lot about.

1377
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 2: But if you've got to be here, like Autumn, who

1378
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 2: we just learn about a little while ago, if you've

1379
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 2: got to be here for almost six hundred days, yeah,

1380
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:46,720
Speaker 2: almost two years. I mean, they're trying to make life

1381
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:50,160
Speaker 2: as normal as possible for these kids who in many

1382
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 2: cases are missing proms and missing sporting events and missing

1383
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:55,640
Speaker 2: their friends and you know, being amongst their peers and

1384
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 2: doing things that kids do. And in addition to saving

1385
01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:02,600
Speaker 2: their lives He is concerned and focused on the patient

1386
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:05,640
Speaker 2: experience and making things as as painless as they can

1387
01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:07,600
Speaker 2: possibly be, not only for the kids, but the families,

1388
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:09,840
Speaker 2: for the parents. And you saw some of that firsthand. Yeah,

1389
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:10,840
Speaker 2: you and Jason did, Kalin.

1390
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:11,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1391
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:13,840
Speaker 5: So one of my favorite things that I saw was

1392
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:16,360
Speaker 5: I think they call it the Meditation Room, and it's

1393
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:18,760
Speaker 5: essentially like a church or a temple or you know,

1394
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:21,560
Speaker 5: whatever your religion is, they support or if you just

1395
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:23,760
Speaker 5: want to go and have some peace and quiet, if

1396
01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:25,920
Speaker 5: you want to pray. And I am not even joking.

1397
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:28,160
Speaker 5: When I walked in there, I felt the most calm.

1398
01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:28,480
Speaker 13: Ever.

1399
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:32,240
Speaker 5: It's these like beautiful stained glass walls, which is a

1400
01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:35,480
Speaker 5: wild story. They asked the person who did you know

1401
01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:37,640
Speaker 5: the stained glass if they could do it. They didn't

1402
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:40,160
Speaker 5: have time. A couple months later, they had a relative

1403
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:42,840
Speaker 5: that needed to come here. Their life was saved, so

1404
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:45,840
Speaker 5: he did it for free, and it's just it's amazing.

1405
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:48,440
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah. Yeah. And they have a theme room, so

1406
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:51,360
Speaker 2: there's like a Star Wars room they have. It was

1407
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:53,680
Speaker 2: just a nerd room, but you know, yeah, we love it.

1408
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:54,360
Speaker 2: We love a nerd.

1448
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:42,160
Speaker 2: lot of these folks they're not leaving the confines at

1460
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:10,920
Speaker 2: support Lurry Children's Hospital patients like Autumn. Autumn was here

1461
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:15,280
Speaker 2: for almost what five hundred, five hundred and twenty four days.

1462
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:17,439
Speaker 2: We touched at her nurse Nicole a little while ago,

1463
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:21,240
Speaker 2: and she's doing great now, she's out and healing. She

1464
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:24,920
Speaker 2: had a BPD, which is a type of chronic lung disease.

1465
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:27,200
Speaker 2: Five hundred and twenty four days she's spent here. Let's

1466
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:28,200
Speaker 2: sort about Autumn right now.

1467
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:31,280
Speaker 4: So the hospital, a doctor's like, we gotta deliver this baby.

1468
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:32,040
Speaker 5: Are you gonna die?

1469
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:33,480
Speaker 1: One point one.

1470
01:04:33,880 --> 01:04:35,680
Speaker 4: I was able to put my finger on her because

1471
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:38,400
Speaker 4: that's how tiny she was. It was a rough journey,

1472
01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:40,520
Speaker 4: and I stayed at the hospital for six months until

1473
01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:43,440
Speaker 4: they couldn't handle her no more. She has BPD. Her

1474
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:46,439
Speaker 4: lungs were undeveloped. People don't realize your baby rolls at

1475
01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:48,880
Speaker 4: the end of your pregnancy. So I knew of Lori's,

1476
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:50,760
Speaker 4: but I didn't really know because of course I didn't

1477
01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:52,960
Speaker 4: have to deal with this. One of the best children's hospitals,

1478
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:55,560
Speaker 4: so of course I'm like, okay, I'm waiting and they

1479
01:04:55,680 --> 01:04:57,080
Speaker 4: got me in and it was like, okay, we're gonna

1480
01:04:57,080 --> 01:04:59,440
Speaker 4: transport this day. Our team is gonna come ya. I'm like,

1481
01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:01,919
Speaker 4: y'all see yeah. They called me and told me, hey,

1482
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:04,360
Speaker 4: this is what's gonna happen. How long was she out

1483
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:07,000
Speaker 4: Lori's five hundred and twenty four days. One thing about

1484
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:10,080
Speaker 4: Laurie's is I do love that the Ron McDonald house

1485
01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:11,919
Speaker 4: is like, right here, we don't have to worry about

1486
01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:13,400
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I got hurt and get there so

1487
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:14,480
Speaker 4: they supply.

1488
01:05:14,480 --> 01:05:17,360
Speaker 5: So much got the time.

1489
01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:31,080
Speaker 4: An My baby was down bad when she got to Laurie's,

1490
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:34,439
Speaker 4: like she was dropping dead on that table. That people

1491
01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:37,440
Speaker 4: don't realize, Like even the day before we got transport

1492
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:42,320
Speaker 4: to Laurie's. Literally all I could do was pray, let

1493
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:45,200
Speaker 4: her body rest and grow. They don't realize the mental

1494
01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:47,520
Speaker 4: state parents go through, just not what they own.

1495
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:50,600
Speaker 5: Kids, but for other kids. We see the deaf, we

1496
01:05:50,640 --> 01:05:51,200
Speaker 5: see the life.

1497
01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:53,280
Speaker 4: We see kids go home and it's amazing, but we

1498
01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:54,600
Speaker 4: also see kids.

1499
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:57,520
Speaker 5: Don't make it. Lauris do make it.

1500
01:05:57,560 --> 01:06:01,000
Speaker 4: Easy. Other hospitals don't have the resources anything to help.

1501
01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:01,760
Speaker 5: Like Lauries do.

1502
01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:05,640
Speaker 4: They remember you, they know you. It is a family.

1503
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:09,160
Speaker 4: Even though Autumn's home and stable and stuff, she's on

1504
01:06:09,200 --> 01:06:11,000
Speaker 4: an event and trade. If she pop off, I got

1505
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:13,200
Speaker 4: her pop her back on. If I'm at home by myself,

1506
01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:16,439
Speaker 4: you really can't take a bathroom break, okay, you really

1507
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:19,200
Speaker 4: can't sleep fully with a kid on a venting trake.

1508
01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:21,720
Speaker 4: You have to listen. So it's a lot of sleepless

1509
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:37,800
Speaker 4: nights different souf is. I made her hospital stay like

1510
01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:41,160
Speaker 4: a normal kid because they have to. They gotta feel normal.

1511
01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:44,000
Speaker 4: The nurses have fun. I will leave candy out for them.

1512
01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:47,440
Speaker 4: They'll stop and thanks Autumn, and Autumn be looking over like,

1513
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:50,360
Speaker 4: oh okay, Like right now I'm looking for her to

1514
01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:54,680
Speaker 4: walk and talk. She's standing by herself. Now now she's

1515
01:06:54,720 --> 01:06:56,960
Speaker 4: standing on everything, and she's like, I'm standing up.

1516
01:06:57,240 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 5: Literally everybody at Lourie's.

1517
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:02,280

1648
01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:04,840

1650
01:13:07,720 --> 01:13:09,320
Speaker 13: not as fancy as all of your titles.

1651
01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:10,160
Speaker 1: I'm not the town.

1654
01:13:17,120 --> 01:13:19,000
Speaker 2: to us at all? I don't think we're even worthy it.

1655

Speaker 13: You're just making sure though we're compliant, you know, with legislations,

1660
01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:32,439

1686
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:42,840
Speaker 2: your customers have helped raise three point five million dollars

1687
01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:44,840

Speaker 2: Yeah, and Mary from Jewel Losco. You know, we talk

1697
01:15:05,920 --> 01:15:08,360
Speaker 2: about how we're I'm using air quotes that you can't

1698
01:15:08,360 --> 01:15:10,280
Speaker 2: see because they're not on TV, which I don't know

1699
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:12,320
Speaker 2: why we're not. We should totally be on TV. But anyway,

1700
01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:14,800
Speaker 2: we should never be on TV. But I'm using air

1701
01:15:14,880 --> 01:15:17,040
Speaker 2: quotes because as we are raising you know, Jewel Losco

1702
01:15:17,120 --> 01:15:19,479
Speaker 2: and the radio stations, we're raising money for Louri, but

1703
01:15:19,520 --> 01:15:22,360
Speaker 2: we're not. It's the people listening right now and their generosity.

1704
01:15:22,400 --> 01:15:24,759
Speaker 2: It's their money. They're the ones doing the hard work.

1705
01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:30,760
Speaker 2: But you guys are incentivizing people this hour, this hour

1706
01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:34,960
Speaker 2: specifically to donates. What's that about, Well, it's Jewel Osco.

1707
01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:37,320
Speaker 13: Being out in the community, being with Lorii's and all

1708
01:15:37,360 --> 01:15:40,879
Speaker 13: the great work that Laurie's Children's Hospital does and meeting

1709
01:15:41,200 --> 01:15:43,799
Speaker 13: some of the parents and seeing some of the kids

1710
01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:47,599
Speaker 13: that are a part of Loriri's and all of how

1711
01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:50,360
Speaker 13: they've helped. And so Jewel Osco always wants to be

1712
01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:52,639
Speaker 13: a part of that. We are community committed.

1881
01:22:19,640 --> 01:22:21,760
Speaker 2: it's not going well, so anyway, it doesn't matter. I

1882
01:22:21,800 --> 01:22:23,880
Speaker 2: think she's actually took the day off, so she's not

1883
01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:26,639
Speaker 2: here at when I'm here. She may have actually scattered

1884
01:22:26,800 --> 01:22:29,280
Speaker 2: fifty yards away. There might be a restraining order involved,

1885
01:22:29,360 --> 01:22:32,080
Speaker 2: I know, So we'll talk about that later. But so

1886
01:22:32,160 --> 01:22:34,439
Speaker 2: what is like an average day? What would you handle

1887
01:22:34,479 --> 01:22:36,479
Speaker 2: in an average twelve hour ship if there is such

1888
01:22:36,479 --> 01:22:36,760
Speaker 2: a thing.

1889
01:22:37,200 --> 01:22:39,759
Speaker 15: So my day to day, I'm up at six fifteen,

1890
01:22:39,920 --> 01:22:41,559
Speaker 15: gets to work right around seven.

1891
01:22:42,720 --> 01:22:44,640
Speaker 11: Usually if I have a patient load.

1892
01:22:44,439 --> 01:22:47,639
Speaker 15: I take report on those patients and then my days

1893
01:22:47,640 --> 01:22:51,160
Speaker 15: filled with whatever that patient needs, so assessments, going to

1894
01:22:51,200 --> 01:22:54,439
Speaker 15: o R, sometimes going taking them to a procedure. Other

1895
01:22:54,560 --> 01:22:56,840
Speaker 15: times I function as a chargnurse, which I am today,

1896
01:22:56,880 --> 01:22:57,679
Speaker 15: which is why I'm.

1897
01:22:57,560 --> 01:22:59,880
Speaker 1: Able to leave the floor for a little bit.

1898
01:23:00,160 --> 01:23:01,160
Speaker 5: And what does that mean?

1899
01:23:01,360 --> 01:23:05,920
Speaker 15: So charged nurse overseas all the patients. We have sixty

1900
01:23:05,920 --> 01:23:09,840
Speaker 15: four patients typically is our full house. Currently right now

1901
01:23:09,880 --> 01:23:15,120
Speaker 15: we're full, so we assist in procedures and helping all

1902
01:23:15,120 --> 01:23:17,439
Speaker 15: the nurses on the floor take care of those patients

1903
01:23:17,439 --> 01:23:19,240
Speaker 15: as best they can, and just act as an extress

1904
01:23:19,240 --> 01:23:20,040
Speaker 15: out of helping hands.

1905
01:23:20,160 --> 01:23:22,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Nicolson, nurse at Larry Children's Hospital. We're raising money

1906
01:23:23,200 --> 01:23:26,080
Speaker 2: all day today with your help and I'm sure that

1907
01:23:26,160 --> 01:23:28,080
Speaker 2: in the Nick. I mean, these are the sickest of

1908
01:23:28,120 --> 01:23:29,440
Speaker 2: the sick at that point.

1909
01:23:29,240 --> 01:23:33,559
Speaker 15: Right, definitely coming to Larry Children's, yes we see really

1910
01:23:33,640 --> 01:23:37,000
Speaker 15: high acuity here and yes, really sick kids.

1911
01:23:37,120 --> 01:23:39,920
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, But even then, there are a lot of

1912
01:23:40,360 --> 01:23:43,160
Speaker 2: happy stories, right, A lot of live saves and people

1913
01:23:43,200 --> 01:23:45,479
Speaker 2: the wind up leaving and walking out of here, even

1914
01:23:45,560 --> 01:23:47,519
Speaker 2: despite all of that, right, definitely, I.

1915
01:23:47,439 --> 01:23:49,320
Speaker 15: Think the reason I stay in the Nick QEU is

1916
01:23:49,439 --> 01:23:51,880
Speaker 15: I see these kids. They're so resilient, and in every

1917
01:23:52,040 --> 01:23:55,280
Speaker 15: pediatric unit they're just the most resilient patients.

1918
01:23:56,120 --> 01:23:56,920
Speaker 11: So I continue to.

1919
01:23:56,840 --> 01:24:01,040
Speaker 15: Stay here and they do amazing things and we see, yes,

1920
01:24:01,080 --> 01:24:05,400
Speaker 15: definitely tons of miracles, tons of life saved and all that.

1921
01:24:05,680 --> 01:24:08,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and and all jokes aside. I mean, I

1922
01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:10,760
Speaker 2: feel like people like you who work as hard as

1923
01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:13,080
Speaker 2: you do as many days in a row, and I

1924
01:24:13,080 --> 01:24:15,240
Speaker 2: know you're not, you know, millionaires for doing it, I

1925
01:24:15,240 --> 01:24:17,320
Speaker 2: feel like it's a it's a calling, like it's did

1926
01:24:17,360 --> 01:24:18,519
Speaker 2: you do you? Feel like you were born to do

1927
01:24:18,560 --> 01:24:20,519
Speaker 2: it because it's a very special kind of person who

1928
01:24:20,600 --> 01:24:23,599
Speaker 2: can especially in you know, sort of high, critically high

1929
01:24:23,800 --> 01:24:25,680
Speaker 2: areas of the hospital. It's got to be really sort

1930
01:24:25,680 --> 01:24:26,439
Speaker 2: of taxing on you.

1931
01:24:27,240 --> 01:24:30,200
Speaker 15: Yeah, I think I knew since I knew since I

1932
01:24:30,240 --> 01:24:33,080
Speaker 15: was in sixth grade that I wanted to go into medicine,

1933
01:24:33,479 --> 01:24:37,679
Speaker 15: definitely pediatrics, but yeah, I guess some sort of calling.

1934
01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:39,040
Speaker 1: So I always had.

1935
01:24:38,920 --> 01:24:41,160
Speaker 15: That ingrained in me that I wanted to help others,

1936
01:24:41,280 --> 01:24:42,000
Speaker 15: especially kids.

1937
01:24:42,080 --> 01:24:44,200
Speaker 2: Go ahead and say it. I'm a hero. Ahead, say

1938
01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:46,840
Speaker 2: it about you.

1939
01:24:47,080 --> 01:24:49,120
Speaker 1: Come up, I'll say it for her.

1940
01:24:49,200 --> 01:24:49,800
Speaker 2: She's a hero.

1941
01:24:49,960 --> 01:24:52,320
Speaker 11: No, my job, and I'm so lucky to do what

1942
01:24:52,360 --> 01:24:52,559
Speaker 11: I do.

1943
01:24:52,840 --> 01:24:56,559
Speaker 2: Yeah. And so one of your patients was Autumn, and

1944
01:24:56,600 --> 01:24:59,920
Speaker 2: she was born one point one patterns and after fi

1945
01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:02,000
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty four days in the hospital, she

1946
01:25:02,080 --> 01:25:05,160
Speaker 2: went home in twenty twenty two, five hundred and twenty

1947
01:25:05,160 --> 01:25:07,120
Speaker 2: four days. That's almost two years that she was here

1948
01:25:07,120 --> 01:25:08,320
Speaker 2: and you treated here. What was that like?

1949
01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:09,680
Speaker 11: It was amazing.

1950
01:25:09,760 --> 01:25:13,320
Speaker 15: So I first met Tyler as her mom in autumn.

1951
01:25:13,920 --> 01:25:16,920
Speaker 15: They came to larry Children's from another hospital, another institution,

1952
01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:20,920
Speaker 15: to kind of get a second opinion. And I remember

1953
01:25:20,960 --> 01:25:24,960
Speaker 15: the first day we met, I got randomly assigned to them,

1954
01:25:25,200 --> 01:25:27,840
Speaker 15: and Tyler was definitely a mama bear, and I said,

1955
01:25:27,840 --> 01:25:28,880
Speaker 15: I think we're going to get along.

1956
01:25:29,040 --> 01:25:31,439
Speaker 1: So after that, Autumn was.

1957
01:25:31,439 --> 01:25:33,080
Speaker 15: Really sick at the time that I picked her up.

1958
01:25:33,360 --> 01:25:36,680
Speaker 15: We do primary nursing at Larry's. We tried too as

1959
01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:38,719
Speaker 15: best we can, and so then I followed her throughout

1960
01:25:38,720 --> 01:25:41,800
Speaker 15: her stay. So those last couple hundred days, I was

1961
01:25:41,840 --> 01:25:44,360
Speaker 15: with her and her mom every day that I worked.

1962
01:25:44,439 --> 01:25:48,519
Speaker 15: So they are incredible. Talk about resiliency. Autumn is the

1963
01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:53,040
Speaker 15: most resilient patient. You'll see her hopefully soon, but she's incredible.

1964
01:25:53,040 --> 01:25:56,120
Speaker 15: And her mom I cannot speak better things.

1965
01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:59,000
Speaker 11: About her mom. True advocate, and she was there every

1966
01:25:59,080 --> 01:25:59,920
Speaker 11: day of her stay.

1967
01:26:00,200 --> 01:26:01,880
Speaker 2: I mean, the hope that you have to have, I

1968
01:26:02,240 --> 01:26:04,639
Speaker 2: would have to imagine to be here for almost two years.

1969
01:26:04,800 --> 01:26:06,200
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure there are days where you think

1970
01:26:06,200 --> 01:26:08,320
Speaker 2: we're never leaving. I'm sure that. I mean what, I

1971
01:26:08,360 --> 01:26:10,559
Speaker 2: can't even imagine the psychology behind all that. So you're

1972
01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:13,000
Speaker 2: a cheerleader, You're a caregiver, You're I mean, this is

1973
01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:14,760
Speaker 2: it's all encompassing your role.

1974
01:26:15,240 --> 01:26:15,479
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1975
01:26:15,600 --> 01:26:18,720
Speaker 15: One I love one parent phrase at who's going to

Speaker 15: You take on the role of advocacy and you know

1980
01:26:25,920 --> 01:26:28,960
Speaker 15: just and yeah, talking with them day to day, just

1981
01:26:29,040 --> 01:26:31,920
Speaker 15: about you know, the hope and getting out of the

1982
01:26:31,920 --> 01:26:35,280
Speaker 15: hospital and making things fun in the hospital too. We

1983
01:26:35,360 --> 01:26:37,600
Speaker 15: did a lot of holidays with Autumn in the hospital

1984
01:26:37,720 --> 01:26:39,960
Speaker 15: and just made it as homelike as we could.

1988
01:26:47,240 --> 01:26:48,439
Speaker 2: and that we don't have a lot of it, and

1989
01:26:48,640 --> 01:26:50,680
Speaker 2: most people don't right now. Why would you say it's

1990
01:26:50,680 --> 01:26:51,479
Speaker 2: important to donate.

1991
01:26:52,479 --> 01:26:56,680
Speaker 15: Why it's important to donate. We get so many donations

1992
01:26:56,680 --> 01:27:00,439
Speaker 15: over the years, and we just continue to have so

1993
01:27:00,479 --> 01:27:03,760
Speaker 15: many patients that have so many needs, developmental needs and

1994
01:27:03,800 --> 01:27:07,759
Speaker 15: that kind of thing. So the donations would help us,

1995
01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:10,880
Speaker 15: you know, provide these toys that we don't have for

1996
01:27:10,960 --> 01:27:13,920
Speaker 15: every child that we have to borrow or you know,

1997
01:27:13,960 --> 01:27:17,200
Speaker 15: wait till the child is discharged to use for baby

1998
01:27:17,280 --> 01:27:20,120
Speaker 15: swings that these kids are soothed by when their nurse

1999
01:27:20,160 --> 01:27:24,040
Speaker 15: is taking care of another patient, and just for other resources.

2000
01:27:24,840 --> 01:27:27,280
Speaker 11: Research and everything helps.

2001
01:27:27,360 --> 01:27:30,559
Speaker 15: Even a dollar, two dollars, ten dollars, it all goes

2002
01:27:30,600 --> 01:27:31,200
Speaker 15: for something good.

2003
01:27:31,400 --> 01:27:33,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I got to think that people, hopefully people

2004
01:27:33,520 --> 01:27:35,599
Speaker 2: listening with kids out they never have to come here, right,

2005
01:27:35,600 --> 01:27:37,920
Speaker 2: they'll never visit this place, I hope not. They'll never

2006
01:27:37,960 --> 01:27:40,400
Speaker 2: see it. But for the people that do, you know,

2007
01:27:40,720 --> 01:27:42,680
Speaker 2: this is where these donations come in. Hey, this is

2008
01:27:42,720 --> 01:27:43,519
Speaker 2: why it's important.

2009
01:27:43,640 --> 01:27:45,840
Speaker 7: And no kid has ever turned away here. You know,

2010
01:27:45,960 --> 01:27:48,320
Speaker 7: there's always somebody here to help. They they take in

2011
01:27:48,400 --> 01:27:50,439

01:28:45,720 --> 01:28:47,120
Speaker 2: now on the Fred Show one oh three five, We're

2038
01:28:47,160 --> 01:28:48,599
Speaker 2: live with Louried Children's for the radio.

2039
01:28:48,640 --> 01:28:51,800
Speaker 4: Thought the hospital doctors I week out of deliveries, baby,

2040
01:28:51,840 --> 01:28:54,000
Speaker 4: are you gonna die?

2041
01:28:53,479 --> 01:28:53,599
Speaker 7: One?

2042
01:28:54,439 --> 01:28:56,200
Speaker 4: I was able to put my finger on her because

2043
01:28:56,200 --> 01:28:58,960
Speaker 4: that's how tiny she was. It was a rough journey

2044
01:28:58,960 --> 01:29:01,080
Speaker 4: and I stayed at the hospital for six months until

2045
01:29:01,080 --> 01:29:03,960
Speaker 4: they couldn't handle her no more. She has BPD. Her

2046
01:29:04,040 --> 01:29:06,960
Speaker 4: lungs were undeveloped. People don't realize your baby grows at

2047
01:29:07,080 --> 01:29:09,439
Speaker 4: the end of your pregnancy. So I knew of Lori's,

2048
01:29:09,439 --> 01:29:11,280
Speaker 4: but I didn't really know because of course I didn't

2049
01:29:11,320 --> 01:29:13,520
Speaker 4: have to deal with this. One of the best children's hospitals,

2050
01:29:13,560 --> 01:29:16,120
Speaker 4: so of course I'm like, okay, I'm waiting, and they

2051
01:29:16,200 --> 01:29:18,080
Speaker 4: got me in. They was like, okay, we're gonna transport

2052
01:29:18,120 --> 01:29:20,040
Speaker 4: this day, our team is gonna come, y'all. I'm like,

2053
01:29:20,120 --> 01:29:20,639
Speaker 4: y'all team.

2054
01:29:20,920 --> 01:29:21,120
Speaker 11: Yeah.

2055
01:29:21,120 --> 01:29:23,080
Speaker 4: They called me and told me, hey, this is what's

2056
01:29:23,120 --> 01:29:26,120
Speaker 4: gonna happen. How long was she out Lorious five hundred

2057
01:29:26,160 --> 01:29:28,160
Speaker 4: and twenty four days. One thing about Laurie's is I

2058
01:29:28,560 --> 01:29:31,320
Speaker 4: do love that the Ron McDonald house is like right here.

2059
01:29:31,360 --> 01:29:33,000
Speaker 4: We don't have to worry about Oh my god, I

2060
01:29:33,000 --> 01:29:33,840
Speaker 4: got hurt and get there.

2061
01:29:33,880 --> 01:29:49,880
Speaker 5: So they supplied so much got the My baby was.

2062
01:29:49,880 --> 01:29:52,280
Speaker 4: Down bad when she got to Laurie's, like she was

2063
01:29:52,360 --> 01:29:55,800
Speaker 4: dropping dead on that table. That people don't realize. Like

2064
01:29:55,880 --> 01:29:59,599
Speaker 4: even the day before we got transport to LORII. Literally

2065
01:29:59,640 --> 01:30:03,679
Speaker 4: all I could do was pray, let her body rest

2066
01:30:03,720 --> 01:30:06,880
Speaker 4: and grow. They don't realize the mental state parents go

2067
01:30:06,920 --> 01:30:09,799
Speaker 4: through just not what they own kids, but for other kids.

2068
01:30:10,200 --> 01:30:11,720
Speaker 5: We see the death, we see the life.

2069
01:30:11,800 --> 01:30:13,800
Speaker 4: We see kids go home and it's amazing, but we

2070
01:30:13,880 --> 01:30:15,880
Speaker 4: also see kids they don't make it.

2071
01:30:16,240 --> 01:30:16,880
Speaker 5: Don't make it.

2072
01:30:17,160 --> 01:30:19,840
Speaker 4: Lauris do make it easy. Other hospitals don't have the

2073
01:30:19,880 --> 01:30:21,360
Speaker 4: resources or anything.

2074
01:30:21,040 --> 01:30:24,800
Speaker 5: To help like Lauries do. They remember you, They know young.

2075
01:30:25,120 --> 01:30:28,040
Speaker 4: It is a family. Even though Autumn's home, yeah and

2076
01:30:28,240 --> 01:30:30,800
Speaker 4: stable and stuff, she's on a vent and trade. If

2077
01:30:30,800 --> 01:30:32,439
Speaker 4: she pop off, I got her pop her back on.

2078
01:30:32,560 --> 01:30:34,720
Speaker 4: If I'm at home by myself, you really can't take

2079
01:30:34,720 --> 01:30:38,680
Speaker 4: a bathroom break, okay. You really can't sleep fully with

2080
01:30:38,760 --> 01:30:40,719
Speaker 4: a kid on a venting trade. You have to listen.

2081
01:30:40,840 --> 01:30:56,840
Speaker 4: So it's it's a lot of sleepless nights. Different stuff is.

2082
01:30:56,880 --> 01:30:59,759
Speaker 4: I made her hospital stay like a normal kid because

2083
01:30:59,800 --> 01:31:02,960
Speaker 4: they have to. They gotta feel normal. The nurses have fun.

2084
01:31:03,240 --> 01:31:05,559
Speaker 4: I will leave candy out for them. They'll stop in

2085
01:31:05,600 --> 01:31:08,679
Speaker 4: thanks Autumn and Autumn be looking over like, oh okay,

01:31:13,200 --> 01:31:16,240
Speaker 4: She's standing by herself now now she's standing on everything.

2089
01:31:16,360 --> 01:31:16,680

Speaker 2: lot of people who listen to us have donated. You

2167
01:34:35,360 --> 01:34:37,919

01:34:38,520 --> 01:34:42,040
Speaker 2: looks like. Oh, if you were, describe Herminio one of

Speaker 2: Children's that work last radio though Hermenio, Like, how would

2172
01:34:48,479 --> 01:34:50,080
Speaker 2: you I want the people at home to really have

2173
01:34:50,160 --> 01:34:51,840
Speaker 2: a picture of who this generous man is.

2174
01:34:51,960 --> 01:34:54,080
Speaker 5: Oh, I got your fred So you know, a lot

2175
01:34:54,160 --> 01:34:57,200
Speaker 5: of people haven't been to Paris. But there's a museum

2176
01:34:57,320 --> 01:35:00,400
Speaker 5: called the Louver there. Okay, okay, and what you think

2177
01:35:00,640 --> 01:35:03,280
Speaker 5: the most famous piece of art there is the Mona Lisa.

2178
01:35:03,680 --> 01:35:05,879
Speaker 2: Well people think that, but that would be a mistake.

2179
01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:08,400
Speaker 5: That would be a mistake because it's Herminia.

2180
01:35:08,560 --> 01:35:08,800
Speaker 7: It is.

2181
01:35:09,320 --> 01:35:12,560
Speaker 5: There is a painting there. You obviously can't touch it

2182
01:35:12,600 --> 01:35:14,519
Speaker 5: because they want it to be preserved till.

2183
01:35:14,360 --> 01:35:17,280
Speaker 2: The end of time, right, I mean for generations to come, right.

2184
01:35:17,280 --> 01:35:20,240
Speaker 5: Because everyone needs to see that beauty. Yeah, you know,

2185
01:35:20,360 --> 01:35:21,639
Speaker 5: not just that would be selfish.

2186
01:35:21,760 --> 01:35:23,840
Speaker 2: People are hoping that Herminia will live until the end

2187
01:35:23,840 --> 01:35:24,160
Speaker 2: of time.

2188
01:35:24,200 --> 01:35:26,520
Speaker 5: But it's not well, they're working on it scientifically.

2189
01:35:28,120 --> 01:35:29,920
Speaker 2: There are innovations just like that happening.

2190
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:30,760
Speaker 5: They can make it happen.

2191
01:35:30,880 --> 01:35:33,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, what a fantastic transition, Kalin. That was so good.

2192
01:35:34,200 --> 01:35:37,040
Speaker 2: Monthly donations is what we're looking for this hour. Specifically,

2193
01:35:37,120 --> 01:35:39,679
Speaker 2: twenty dollars a month to make you a monthly partner,

2194
01:35:39,840 --> 01:35:42,280
Speaker 2: sixty seven cents a day, which if you break it down,

2195
01:35:42,400 --> 01:35:44,080
Speaker 2: I think we've all got less than a dollar a

2196
01:35:44,160 --> 01:35:46,320
Speaker 2: day that we could give to Larry Children's Hospital, a

2197
01:35:46,360 --> 01:35:48,120
Speaker 2: place I hope that if you have kids you never

2198
01:35:48,200 --> 01:35:49,880
Speaker 2: have to visit, but if you do, you're gonna want

2199
01:35:49,920 --> 01:35:53,880
Speaker 2: them to be You want to support this organization because

2200
01:35:53,880 --> 01:35:57,360
Speaker 2: they're doing medical research here that they're innovating, they're saving lives,

2201
01:35:58,160 --> 01:36:01,120
Speaker 2: and not only that, but they're focused on the patient experience,

2202
01:36:01,400 --> 01:36:03,160
Speaker 2: which is something that you might not think a lot about.

2203
01:36:03,360 --> 01:36:05,400
Speaker 2: But if you've got to be here like Autumn, who

2204
01:36:05,400 --> 01:36:06,680
Speaker 2: we just learned about a little wile ago, if you've

2205
01:36:06,680 --> 01:36:09,759
Speaker 2: got to be here for almost six hundred days, almost

2206
01:36:09,840 --> 01:36:12,200
Speaker 2: two years, I mean, they're trying to make life as

2207
01:36:12,240 --> 01:36:15,760
Speaker 2: normal as possible for these kids, who in many cases

2208
01:36:15,800 --> 01:36:18,920
Speaker 2: are missing proms and missing sporting events and missing their

2209
01:36:19,000 --> 01:36:21,200
Speaker 2: friends and you know, being amongst their peers and doing

2210
01:36:21,240 --> 01:36:24,679
Speaker 2: things that kids do. And in addition to saving their lives,

2211
01:36:25,200 --> 01:36:28,400
Speaker 2: Lurie is concerned and focused on the patient experience and

2212
01:36:28,479 --> 01:36:31,519
Speaker 2: making things as as painless as they can possibly be,

2213
01:36:31,680 --> 01:36:33,479
Speaker 2: not only for the kids, but the families, for the parents.

2214
01:36:33,600 --> 01:36:36,200
Speaker 2: And you saw some of that firsthand, you and Jason did, Kalin.

2215
01:36:36,400 --> 01:36:38,960
Speaker 5: Yeah. So one of my favorite things that I saw

2216
01:36:39,160 --> 01:36:41,360
Speaker 5: was I think they call it the Meditation Room, and

2217
01:36:41,520 --> 01:36:44,080
Speaker 5: it's essentially like a church or a temple or you know,

2218
01:36:44,160 --> 01:36:46,880
Speaker 5: whatever your religion is. They support or if you just

2219
01:36:46,960 --> 01:36:49,080
Speaker 5: want to go and have some peace and quiet, if

2220
01:36:49,120 --> 01:36:51,200
Speaker 5: you want to pray. And I am not even joking.

2221
01:36:51,320 --> 01:36:53,760
Speaker 5: When I walked in there, I felt the most calm. Ever,

2222
01:36:54,320 --> 01:36:57,519
Speaker 5: it's these like beautiful stained glass walls, which is a

2223
01:36:57,600 --> 01:37:00,680
Speaker 5: wild story. They asked the person who did did you

2224
01:37:00,720 --> 01:37:02,640
Speaker 5: know the same glass that they could do it. They

2225
01:37:02,720 --> 01:37:05,000
Speaker 5: didn't have time. A couple months later, they had a

2226
01:37:05,080 --> 01:37:07,840
Speaker 5: relative that needed to come here. Their life was saved,

2227
01:37:08,040 --> 01:37:11,120
Speaker 5: so he did it for free, and it's just it's amazing.

2228
01:37:11,360 --> 01:37:11,559
Speaker 2: Wow.

2229
01:37:11,840 --> 01:37:12,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

2230
01:37:12,479 --> 01:37:14,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, And they have theme rooms. There's like a Star

2231
01:37:14,439 --> 01:37:17,639
Speaker 2: Wars room they have. It was just it's a nerd room.

2232
01:37:17,720 --> 01:37:19,719
Speaker 2: But you know, yeah, we love it. We love a nerd.

2233

Speaker 2: They had this really cool fire truck which I actually yeah,

2236
01:37:27,160 --> 01:37:29,519
Speaker 2: which I did attempt to climb into, but we did

2237
01:37:29,600 --> 01:37:32,680
Speaker 2: to tell so they actually asked. That was when they

2238
01:37:32,680 --> 01:37:35,479
Speaker 2: asked me to leave and never come back. But when

2291
01:39:58,280 --> 01:39:58,400
Speaker 19: One?

2292
01:39:59,200 --> 01:40:01,000
Speaker 4: I was able to put my finger on her because

2293
01:40:01,040 --> 01:40:03,719
Speaker 4: that's how tiny she was. It was a rough journey

2294
01:40:03,800 --> 01:40:05,880
Speaker 4: and I stayed at the hospital for six months until

2295
01:40:05,880 --> 01:40:08,760
Speaker 4: they couldn't handle her no more. She has VPD. Her

2296
01:40:08,840 --> 01:40:11,720
Speaker 4: lungs were undeveloped. People don't realize your baby grows at

2297
01:40:11,920 --> 01:40:14,200
Speaker 4: the end of your pregnancy. So I knew of Lori's,

2298
01:40:14,240 --> 01:40:16,080
Speaker 4: but I didn't really know because of course I didn't

2299
01:40:16,120 --> 01:40:18,280
Speaker 4: have to deal with this. One of the best children's hospitals,

2300
01:40:18,360 --> 01:40:20,920
Speaker 4: so of course I'm like, okay, I'm waiting and they

2301
01:40:21,000 --> 01:40:22,839
Speaker 4: got me in. They was like, okay, we're gonna transport

2302
01:40:22,920 --> 01:40:24,840
Speaker 4: this day. Our team is gonna come, y'all. I'm like,

2303
01:40:24,920 --> 01:40:25,439
Speaker 4: y'all team.

2304
01:40:25,720 --> 01:40:25,880
Speaker 5: Yeah.

2305
01:40:25,920 --> 01:40:27,880
Speaker 4: They called me and told me, hey, this is what's

2306
01:40:27,920 --> 01:40:30,920
Speaker 4: gonna happen. How long was she out Lorio's five hundred

2307
01:40:30,960 --> 01:40:32,960
Speaker 4: and twenty four days. One thing about Laurie's is I

2308
01:40:33,360 --> 01:40:36,080
Speaker 4: do love that the Ron McDonald house is like, right here,

2309
01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:37,800
Speaker 4: we don't have to worry about Oh my god, I

2310
01:40:37,800 --> 01:40:40,479
Speaker 4: got hurt and get there, so they supplied so much.

2311
01:40:54,120 --> 01:40:56,400
Speaker 4: My baby was down bad when she got to Laurie's,

2312
01:40:56,479 --> 01:40:59,719
Speaker 4: like she was dropping dead on that table. That people

2313
01:40:59,720 --> 01:41:04,320
Speaker 4: don't realize. Even the day before we got transport to Lourie's. Literally,

2314
01:41:04,479 --> 01:41:08,439
Speaker 4: all I could do was pray, let her body rest

2315
01:41:08,520 --> 01:41:11,640
Speaker 4: and grow. They don't realize the mental state parents go

2316
01:41:11,720 --> 01:41:14,200
Speaker 4: through just not what they own kids, but for other.

2317
01:41:14,280 --> 01:41:16,519
Speaker 5: Kids, we see the death, we see the life.

2318
01:41:16,600 --> 01:41:18,560
Speaker 4: We see kids go home and it's amazing, but we

2319
01:41:18,680 --> 01:41:22,680
Speaker 4: also see kids that don't make it. Lauris do make

2320
01:41:22,720 --> 01:41:25,759
Speaker 4: it easy. Other hospitals don't have the resources or anything

2321
01:41:25,840 --> 01:41:29,320
Speaker 4: to help like Lauries do. They remember you, They know you.

2322
01:41:29,920 --> 01:41:33,479
Speaker 4: It is a family. Even though Autumn's home and stable

2323
01:41:33,600 --> 01:41:35,640
Speaker 4: and stuff, she's on an event and trade. If she

2324
01:41:35,720 --> 01:41:37,439
Speaker 4: pop off, I got her pop her back on. If

2325
01:41:37,479 --> 01:41:39,560
Speaker 4: I'm at home by myself, you really can't take a

2326
01:41:39,640 --> 01:41:43,600
Speaker 4: bathroom break. Okay, you really can't sleep fully with a

2327
01:41:43,680 --> 01:41:44,559
Speaker 4: kid on a venting trade.

2328
01:41:44,640 --> 01:41:47,479
Speaker 5: You have to listen. So it's a lot of sleepless night.

2329
01:42:01,000 --> 01:42:03,080
Speaker 4: Different so cause I made her high spital stay like

2330
01:42:03,240 --> 01:42:05,320
Speaker 4: a normal kid, because they have to.

2331
01:42:05,439 --> 01:42:06,479
Speaker 5: They gotta feel normal.

2332
01:42:06,640 --> 01:42:09,280
Speaker 4: The nurses have fun. I would leave candy out for them.

2333
01:42:09,680 --> 01:42:12,080
Speaker 4: They'll stop and thanks at them, and all them be

2334
01:42:12,160 --> 01:42:15,000
Speaker 4: looking over like, oh okay, Like right now I'm looking

2335
01:42:15,040 --> 01:42:19,120
Speaker 4: for her to walk and talk. She's standing by herself

2336
01:42:19,200 --> 01:42:22,040
Speaker 4: now now she's standing on everything she like. I'm standing

2337
01:42:22,160 --> 01:42:25,160
Speaker 4: up literally everybody at Lourie's. I can say a thousand

2338
01:42:25,280 --> 01:42:29,439
Speaker 4: names because they literally helped me out and made it easy.

2339
01:42:29,560 --> 01:42:32,040
Speaker 4: That's why I tell people all the time. My cousin

2340
01:42:32,160 --> 01:42:33,080
Speaker 4: just call me on the other day.

2341
01:42:33,120 --> 01:42:34,719
Speaker 5: My baby not feeling good. Up, go to Lories.

2342
01:42:34,960 --> 01:42:37,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not gonna tell y'all no other place but Lauri's.

2343
01:42:37,439 --> 01:42:39,280
Speaker 4: And they didn't give up on her. They try, they

2344
01:42:39,400 --> 01:42:42,600
Speaker 4: tryna they lay out everything they could possibly do, so

2345
01:42:42,720 --> 01:42:44,720
Speaker 4: it had something had happened to my baby. I know

2346
01:42:44,840 --> 01:42:47,479
Speaker 4: for a fact that they did everything that they could do.

2347
01:42:47,840 --> 01:42:50,960
Speaker 4: I mean, your donations are appreciating. As a former nick

2372
01:44:03,920 --> 01:44:06,040

2514
01:49:56,040 --> 01:49:59,000
Speaker 19: leukemia April fifth of twenty twenty one.

2515
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:01,000
Speaker 5: It was a really tough time.

2516
01:50:01,120 --> 01:50:03,439
Speaker 19: He went through two and a half years of treatment,

2517
01:50:03,760 --> 01:50:07,960
Speaker 19: spent about eighty nights in the hospital and luckily rang

2518
01:50:08,040 --> 01:50:10,679
Speaker 19: the bell this past August, which is amazing.

2519
01:50:10,880 --> 01:50:13,120
Speaker 2: Yes, which is so great. And Caylin I know you

2520
01:50:13,200 --> 01:50:16,720
Speaker 2: guys have met before, but Brittany, what I understand you

2521
01:50:16,800 --> 01:50:18,800
Speaker 2: were told by a lot of doctors that what you

2522
01:50:18,920 --> 01:50:21,240
Speaker 2: thought was something that was wrong. They told you that

2523
01:50:21,320 --> 01:50:22,000
Speaker 2: nothing was wrong.

2524
01:50:22,280 --> 01:50:22,639
Speaker 11: Correct.

2525
01:50:22,720 --> 01:50:24,800
Speaker 5: It took about six weeks to get diagnosed.

2526
01:50:24,880 --> 01:50:27,400
Speaker 19: It took coming to Lurry and having a biopsy done

2527
01:50:27,760 --> 01:50:29,920
Speaker 19: to finally finding out that it was cancer.

2528
01:50:30,160 --> 01:50:31,960
Speaker 2: So I'm not overstating when I say that this place

2529
01:50:32,120 --> 01:50:32,960
Speaker 2: saved Cole's life.

2530
01:50:33,360 --> 01:50:33,719
Speaker 5: Correct.

2531
01:50:33,960 --> 01:50:36,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then the treatment in the eighty days and here,

2532
01:50:36,040 --> 01:50:38,080
Speaker 2: what's that like? What's it like to be here with

2533
01:50:38,240 --> 01:50:39,599
Speaker 2: your child for eighty days?

2534
01:50:40,520 --> 01:50:42,360
Speaker 5: It's tough, It's hard.

2535
01:50:42,560 --> 01:50:45,479
Speaker 19: The families are split apart our other sons at home,

2536
01:50:46,200 --> 01:50:49,960
Speaker 19: but luckily the staff and everything kind of does become

2537
01:50:50,080 --> 01:50:53,280
Speaker 19: like your family, and the oncology floor kind of felt

2538
01:50:53,640 --> 01:50:56,080
Speaker 19: like home to us in a crazy weird way.

2539
01:50:56,400 --> 01:50:58,839
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, And Brat how did you maintain some normalcy

2540
01:50:58,920 --> 01:51:00,640
Speaker 2: at home? You have another child? So did you like

2541
01:51:00,720 --> 01:51:02,639
Speaker 2: split duties or how do you how do you even

2542
01:51:02,720 --> 01:51:03,280
Speaker 2: manage all that?

2543
01:51:04,720 --> 01:51:08,120
Speaker 14: I was more so at the inpatient stuff, So I

2544
01:51:08,320 --> 01:51:11,360
Speaker 14: was with Cole a lot of sun Hudson at home.

2545
01:51:11,400 --> 01:51:13,960
Speaker 14: He wanted to be with mom quite often, but keep

2546
01:51:14,000 --> 01:51:16,439
Speaker 14: in normalcy. It was, you know, when we are home,

2547
01:51:16,560 --> 01:51:19,400
Speaker 14: making sure they were doing things like I'm not doing

2548
01:51:19,479 --> 01:51:21,280
Speaker 14: things out of the ordinary, and just being sure life

2549
01:51:21,320 --> 01:51:25,040
Speaker 14: is normal. Just taking him and doing things that any

2550
01:51:25,200 --> 01:51:27,960
Speaker 14: normal at the time five year old boy wanted to do.

2551
01:51:28,160 --> 01:51:30,920
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, how do they make things normal here?

2552
01:51:31,040 --> 01:51:32,479
Speaker 2: Because some of the people don't think about it. They

2553
01:51:32,479 --> 01:51:34,920
Speaker 2: think about the treatment and and and you know, curing

2554
01:51:35,000 --> 01:51:36,920
Speaker 2: disease and all of this stuff. But how do they

2555
01:51:37,439 --> 01:51:39,800
Speaker 2: How does LURI make life more normal, not only for

2556
01:51:39,920 --> 01:51:40,840
Speaker 2: Coal but for you guys.

2557
01:51:41,720 --> 01:51:44,280
Speaker 19: Yeah, I mean there's a playroom on the oncology floor,

2558
01:51:44,400 --> 01:51:45,320
Speaker 19: so you could go and play.

2559
01:51:45,560 --> 01:51:46,599
Speaker 11: The nurses would.

2560
01:51:46,400 --> 01:51:49,479
Speaker 19: Come in and take time during their ships and play

2561
01:51:49,520 --> 01:51:51,000
Speaker 19: with him too, so we could kind of get a

2562
01:51:51,040 --> 01:51:55,080
Speaker 19: break and run and get coffee. Social workers are great

2563
01:51:55,120 --> 01:51:58,719
Speaker 19: to support the parents, a lot of really just great.

2564
01:51:58,560 --> 01:52:00,439
Speaker 11: Resources to help get through day.

2565
01:52:00,880 --> 01:52:03,439
Speaker 2: And then kind of a great story about Cards for Coal, right,

2566
01:52:03,520 --> 01:52:05,400
Speaker 2: And this was a social media campaign that you guys

2567
01:52:05,400 --> 01:52:07,600
Speaker 2: did tell us about that Cards for Cole is.

2568
01:52:07,640 --> 01:52:10,559
Speaker 19: Daring like the worst part of treatment. He was about

2569
01:52:10,640 --> 01:52:13,400
Speaker 19: to turn three, and I just wanted to do something

2570
01:52:13,479 --> 01:52:14,080
Speaker 19: for him.

2571
01:52:14,000 --> 01:52:15,559
Speaker 5: So I put it out on social media.

2572
01:52:15,760 --> 01:52:19,439
Speaker 19: Blew up and We had the support of thousands of people,

2573
01:52:19,640 --> 01:52:22,040
Speaker 19: and it just makes you feel so loved and cared for.

2574
01:52:22,400 --> 01:52:23,519
Speaker 5: And I saved all the cards.

2575
01:52:23,880 --> 01:52:27,200
Speaker 19: So wow, one day he can look back on him

2576
01:52:27,200 --> 01:52:28,720
Speaker 19: and know how many people cared about that.

2577
01:52:28,880 --> 01:52:30,760

2596
01:53:08,000 --> 01:53:09,080
Speaker 2: Larry Children's Hospital?

2597
01:53:11,840 --> 01:53:15,080
Speaker 14: Just because I mean the money that you guys are

2598
01:53:15,720 --> 01:53:17,719
Speaker 14: raising and the money that you're still giving and supporting

2599
01:53:18,320 --> 01:53:21,960
Speaker 14: not just you know, families that are going through what

2600
01:53:22,000 --> 01:53:25,160
Speaker 14: they're going through. It's supporting, it's giving money to research,

2601
01:53:25,240 --> 01:53:28,240
Speaker 14: it's it's a way to give back. It's a way

2602
01:53:28,400 --> 01:53:31,360
Speaker 14: to make sure that these kids that what they're dealing with,

2603
01:53:32,200 --> 01:53:36,439
Speaker 14: you know, are down the road, it's not as prevalent,

2604
01:53:36,600 --> 01:53:37,240
Speaker 14: it's not as.

2605
01:53:39,200 --> 01:53:41,840
Speaker 19: Yeah, like safer treatments so that they don't have to

2606
01:53:41,920 --> 01:53:44,240
Speaker 19: go through intense protocols.

2607
01:53:43,760 --> 01:53:44,599
Speaker 11: That are years long.

2608
01:53:44,760 --> 01:53:47,040

01:53:56,800 --> 01:53:58,360
Speaker 5: how family, how they'll become.

2614
01:53:58,880 --> 01:54:01,360
Speaker 14: Oh, so like when you're when like we first got

2642
01:55:08,160 --> 01:55:10,160
Speaker 2: but it's important for people to hear and to support.

2652
01:55:31,760 --> 01:55:33,680
Speaker 2: It's the radiothon All one, O three five with the

2653
01:55:33,720 --> 01:55:34,200
Speaker 2: Fred Show.

2654
01:55:34,520 --> 01:55:37,560
Speaker 19: At two and a half. I noticed a swollen lymph

2655
01:55:37,640 --> 01:55:41,120
Speaker 19: nodes behind his ear. Took him to the doctor right away.

2656
01:55:41,680 --> 01:55:44,680
Speaker 19: I was told multiple times that it wasn't anything concerning,

2657
01:55:45,280 --> 01:55:48,880
Speaker 19: just normal lymph nodes. It was not cancer, but I

2658
01:55:49,040 --> 01:55:51,720
Speaker 19: was still I just had this feeling like something wasn't right.

2659
01:55:51,960 --> 01:55:55,160
Speaker 19: I pushed for a biopsy, and that's when we found

2660
01:55:55,200 --> 01:55:59,080
Speaker 19: out that he had leukemia. We brought him in that

2661
01:55:59,280 --> 01:56:02,400
Speaker 19: night to the e are and then our journey began.

2662
01:56:03,400 --> 01:56:06,760
Speaker 14: As far as Lurie goes, I remember the first day

2663
01:56:06,840 --> 01:56:10,520
Speaker 14: we were there. There's a bunch of doctors coming in

2664
01:56:10,680 --> 01:56:12,840
Speaker 14: and nurses and everything, and he's getting hooked up to

2665
01:56:12,840 --> 01:56:15,960
Speaker 14: all different machines and stuff, and he's you see, he's nervous.

2666
01:56:16,080 --> 01:56:20,080
Speaker 14: But there's one doctor that said, right now, he's scared.

2667
01:56:20,120 --> 01:56:23,000
Speaker 14: But by the time he's it's okay.

2668
01:56:23,360 --> 01:56:23,560
Speaker 5: I know.

2669
01:56:24,080 --> 01:56:27,200
Speaker 19: I can't imagine by the time he's done, they're going

2670
01:56:27,240 --> 01:56:29,640
Speaker 19: to be like his friends, because at the beginning he

2671
01:56:29,680 --> 01:56:32,280
Speaker 19: would hide from the doctors. He would like try to

2672
01:56:32,320 --> 01:56:34,360
Speaker 19: hide under my arm so that they wouldn't see him.

2673
01:56:35,000 --> 01:56:38,120
Speaker 5: But no, and did that happen? Did you make some friends?

2674
01:56:38,960 --> 01:56:39,280
Speaker 2: You did?

2675
01:56:39,720 --> 01:56:40,840
Speaker 5: Who's your favorite nurse?

2676
01:56:41,000 --> 01:56:41,240
Speaker 6: Yeah?

2677
01:56:41,880 --> 01:56:43,040
Speaker 1: Miss miss who?

2678
01:56:43,760 --> 01:56:47,400
Speaker 5: Miss Anna who? We love miss Anna right?

2679
01:56:49,600 --> 01:56:49,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

2680
01:56:49,880 --> 01:56:52,800
Speaker 19: Throughout treatment, they just you could just tell that they

2681
01:56:53,000 --> 01:56:55,880
Speaker 19: really genuinely cared for Cole.

2682
01:56:56,120 --> 01:56:58,120
Speaker 5: You know, they would give him big hugs. He was

2683
01:56:58,200 --> 01:56:59,440
Speaker 5: excited to see them.

2684
01:57:00,560 --> 01:57:04,360
Speaker 19: They would answer my million questions and my phone calls,

2685
01:57:04,480 --> 01:57:08,560
Speaker 19: and they were just so reassuring and caring and smart.

2686
01:57:09,000 --> 01:57:11,560
Speaker 19: I felt like we were in great hands because they

2687
01:57:11,640 --> 01:57:13,280
Speaker 19: knew they knew what they were doing.

2688
01:57:13,880 --> 01:57:16,200
Speaker 14: It's a hospital and they have to do whatever they're doing,

2689
01:57:16,280 --> 01:57:21,440
Speaker 14: but they're thinking more of the kids and what they're

2690
01:57:21,480 --> 01:57:24,120
Speaker 14: going through and make it a lot easier for not

2691
01:57:24,240 --> 01:57:26,560
Speaker 14: only them, but on the families of you know, having

2692
01:57:26,600 --> 01:57:28,480
Speaker 14: to sit there and witness everything that they go through.

2693
01:57:28,720 --> 01:57:30,520
Speaker 14: I don't know if there would be anywhere else that

2694
01:57:30,520 --> 01:57:31,080
Speaker 14: I'd want to be.

2695
01:57:31,680 --> 01:57:32,680
Speaker 11: They would come your family.

2696
01:57:32,840 --> 01:57:34,840
Speaker 19: We got sick when we were all Cole got sick

2697
01:57:34,880 --> 01:57:36,080
Speaker 19: when we were in Nashville and we had to go

2698
01:57:36,120 --> 01:57:38,720
Speaker 19: to a different hospital and it was a great hospital,

2699
01:57:38,800 --> 01:57:42,160
Speaker 19: but it's just not the same. It feels like home almost,

2700
01:57:42,280 --> 01:57:44,520
Speaker 19: which is so odd because we never would have guessed

2701
01:57:44,520 --> 01:57:46,720
Speaker 19: that two and a half years ago. We would think

2702
01:57:46,760 --> 01:57:49,800
Speaker 19: of that place as feeling like safe there, but it is.

2703
01:57:49,920 --> 01:57:51,000
Speaker 19: It's like a comfort thing.

2704
01:57:51,400 --> 01:57:54,800
Speaker 14: There's nurses that would go down seventeen eighteen floors just

2705
01:57:54,880 --> 01:57:57,040
Speaker 14: to pick up food for you if you needed it.

2706
01:57:57,520 --> 01:57:58,640
Speaker 14: They'll do anything.

2707
01:57:58,880 --> 01:58:03,680
Speaker 19: Cold finish treatment a lie twenty ninth of twenty twenty three.

2708
01:58:04,280 --> 01:58:06,360
Speaker 19: So we went today and his numbers looked great.

2709
01:58:06,520 --> 01:58:07,520
Speaker 11: I'm so happy to hear that.

2710
01:58:09,720 --> 01:58:11,800
Speaker 2: It's an amazing story of Cole who we just talked to,

2711
01:58:12,000 --> 01:58:14,840
Speaker 2: and in his family Brittany and Brad, his parents, and

2712

Speaker 5: lady killer too. How cute is he?

2717
01:58:23,120 --> 01:58:24,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, he didn't want to talk to me, but then

2718
01:58:25,200 --> 01:58:28,640
Speaker 2: soon as soon as Calen went over there, I bribed

2719
01:58:28,720 --> 01:58:31,240
Speaker 2: him with sugar. Oh okay, I didn't see that far.
