224
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 4: But a friend of our show, a young man that

225
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 4: we met quite a while ago. His name is Amadeo Uh.

226
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 4: He suffered from bone cancer, and unfortunately he passed away

227
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 4: from that bone cancer. But he's story was so inspiring

228
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 4: and I just when I think about all that he

229
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 4: went through a leg amputation when we met him, despite

230
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 4: all of that, through all the different stages, he was

231
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 4: just so strong and resilient, and I just, I really

232
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 4: it's inspiring, you know, and we're sad that we don't

233
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 4: have him anymore. But his memory, the memory of I mean,

234
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 4: I just I can't tell you how many kids I've

235
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 4: met here over the years with Cal's Angels and with

236
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 4: Make a Wish. I'm just so inspired by the strength

237
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 4: of the of the children and the families that are

238
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 4: fighting here and and this is why we're here today,

239
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 4: this is why we're raising money. And so I want

240
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,600

259
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,800

260
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 14: to live and you know, be a normal boy.

261
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 5: He was a fighter.

262
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 12: He knew the struggles that he was going to have,

263
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 12: but he was determined even though he was going.

264
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 10: Through some of the toughest times he was.

265

00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 4: was hard for you to hear, maybe as a parent

289
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 4: or just as a as a human, Uh, then now's

00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 4: it an opportunity for you to to do something, to

291
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 4: take action, to be empowered and make a donation to

292

294
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:14,640

295
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 4: have been shaved, you know, by the incredible efforts of

296
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 4: this place. And there's really no other other way to

297
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 4: say it. Amazing, incredible. I mean that that's what happens here.

298
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 4: And even the stories that didn't turn out the way

299
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 4: that we wanted, you know, they still speak to you know, perseverance,

300
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 4: they speak to strength, they speak to you know.

301
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 6: Uh.

302
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 4: I just it's incredible, it really is. And it's a

303
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 4: hard topic to talk about. Like I'm kind of at

304
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 4: a lost of words. I'm thinking about this young man

00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 4: you know who came in the studio, was on our show.

306
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 4: We got a picture of him, it's up on Instagram,

307
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 4: you know, and it's it's hard to find inspiration in

308
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 4: the story of a of a young man who passed away.

309
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 4: But but it is inspiring because he thought so hard

310
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 4: and and you have a chance to help children, have

311
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 4: you know a better outcome than I'm a eight eight

312
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 4: eight eight three one seven seven three three. And by

00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 4: amusing station, Lurry Children's Radio Thought happening right now triple

488
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 4: eight eight three to one seven seven three three is

489
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 4: the number to call to make a donation. And I

490
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 4: was asking Deanna from Luriy's Children's Hospital during the song

491
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 4: about that DM that we got about, and I'm not

492
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,199
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to focus on the negative. Maybe it's

493
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 4: a fair question. What does a one dollar donation, What

494
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 4: does a five dollars donation? What does a ten dollars

495
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 4: donation do towards a thirty thousand dollars treatment? Of what

496
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 4: I just learned, which is something I did not know

497
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 4: in the many many years I've been volunteering at Lurrid

498
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 4: Children's Hospital, is that uncompensated care here is a thing.

499
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 4: This money goes towards that. If somebody comes in here

500
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 4: and they need treatment for their child and they can't

501
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 4: afford it, then the donations that you're making today go

502
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 4: towards paying for that treatment. So you're asking, what does

503
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,360
Speaker 4: a dollar do for thirty thousand dollars treatment? Well, one

504
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 4: dollar goes towards that, so does a thousand, so does

505
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 4: a ten thousand. And that's why we need to raise

506
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 4: as much money as possible today. This is a one

507
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 4: day of the year that we go on the radio

508
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 4: and that we ask you to donate, and when you

509
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 4: hear those bells, that's somebody calling in and giving money,

510
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 4: and thank you so much for your generosity. And again,

511
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 4: we're not going to ask you to do anything that

512
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 4: we don't do around here. And so that's what we're

513
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,200

Speaker 19: of stuff.

610
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 17: As a mom, I had to just bawl my eyes

611
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 17: out in front of my young little daughter and she

612
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 17: didn't understand it, and the doctor sat there and held

613
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 17: my hand while they were telling me the awful news.

614
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 16: So about five years ago I got diagnosis my heart conditions.

615
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,959
Speaker 16: It was very scary because I was so young. Just

616
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 16: knowing what Joey was going through.

617
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 13: It was hard.

618
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 17: It's still as hard. Lurry's makes it a little bit easier.

619
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 17: They are the first ones who worked with us when

620
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 17: we found out about Joseph when he was in my belly,

621
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 17: So it was amazing.

622
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 13: When you're trying to care for.

623
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 17: Your child who just had open heart surgery or went

624
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 17: through some other procedures. They can see that frustration and

625
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 17: a parent or the emotion coming through, and they make

626
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 17: sure that they're okay.

627
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 13: If the nurses have been a huge role of it.

628
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 17: They make them comfortable when they're in the hospital, when

629
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 17: they're in pain, when we're you know, emotional in pain.

630
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 13: They don't just care for the kids, they cared for

631
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 13: the parents too.

632
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 19: When we're spending a bunch of time in the hospital,

633
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 19: we're exhausted, you know, as parents, it's it's physically and

634
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 19: mentally exhausting in addition to what the kids go through.

635
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 19: And but you know, the nurses are always checking the

636
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 19: us too, and the doctors are always making sure that

637
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 19: you know.

638
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 5: Mom, how are you doing?

639
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 17: If you even me today when you can't fix your kid,

640
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 17: you know, you can't do anything to fix it.

641
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 13: That's what they're doing. You would have to almost let go,

642
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 13: and that's.

643
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 17: Really hard to do as a parent, to let go

644
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 17: of that role of.

645
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 13: The caretaker and let them do it or be okay.

646
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 17: They're going to get through it and they're going to

647
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 17: do the best that they can do for these kids.

648
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 16: One of my favorite things that Lurri's is some of

649
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 16: the nurses. They really know how to like bring a

650
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 16: smile to my face. Like if they're going there for

651
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 16: the first time, to just trust lurries because they obviously

652
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 16: know what they're doing.

653
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 10: Let them do what they know best.

654
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:06,719
Speaker 9: The big fish tank is my favorite thing in the hospital.

655
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 13: The holidays are always an awesome place at our house.

656
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 17: You know, we don't get to do a lot of

657
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 17: stuff as a family because of their medical stuff, so

658
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 17: we just go crazy in the house. There's a tree

659
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 17: in every corner of the room, there's decorations everywhere. There's

660
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 17: we just get comfortable. We seem to relax a little

661
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 17: bit during the holidays and or to the time together.

00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 4: what Lily, what's going on? Why you guys have been

699
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 4: impacted by Lard Children's Hospital because you were patients, both

700
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 4: of you?

701
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 16: Right?

702
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, what was your story?

703
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 16: What happened about around seven years ago? Joey was born

704
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 16: and she was born with several heart effects, which is

705
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 16: when we found out about mine. Wow, so I think

706
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 16: of it, That's how I think of it. I think

707
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 16: of it as as Joey saving my life because he

708
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 16: if he wasn't born, we never would have thought to

709
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 16: get me or any of my siblings checked.

710
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 4: And oh he's taken credit for it. Now, Hey, Joey's

711
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 4: never gonna let that one down. You know that somehow

712
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 4: he saved your life.

713
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 5: That's right.

714
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 4: What did you do?

715
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 9: I saved your life?

716
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 4: Well yeah, and that's very sweet of you to have

717
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 4: done that. So he they found out about him, and

718
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 4: then so it was like everybody needs to be checked

719
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 4: out then because it could be hereditary or whatever. And

720
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 4: then it turned out that you had a similar ailment.

721
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 16: Ours aren't like anything alike, Okay, completely different, but we

722
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 16: both have.

723
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 4: Okay, all right. And then so you were patients here

724
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 4: and and what's the prognosis? Are you feeling great? Everything

725
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 4: going well? Yeah, that's amazing. And and this little guy here,

726
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 4: no lack of energy there, he's feeling good too.

727
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 5: Yeah.

728
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 4: Let me talk to Jerry. That's your dad, right, We

729
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 4: think that your dad. Yeah, that's that's it. Yeah, I

730
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 4: don't know that. Just everyone seems a little puzzled as

731
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 4: to who everybody is. And I thought I thought you

732
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:33,479
Speaker 4: were a family. Are you all a bunch of models?

733
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 4: Do you know each other? Is what I want to know.

734
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 4: I'm at backstage check. Yeah, no, amazing. So the whole

735
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 4: family's here, introduced me to everybody. We know. We know

736
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 4: Lilly and Joey yep, yeah.

737
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 21: Lillian, Joe and we have my wife Kathleen, and my

738
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 21: youngest daughter Tatum and my oldest daughter Olivia.

739
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,719
Speaker 4: Wow. And so what kind of impact does it have

740
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 4: on the whole family when you have two sick kids.

741
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 21: So that's actually part of my job, as you know,

742
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 21: my role as the dad is making sure that the

743
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 21: kids that are still at home while there's kids in

744
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 21: the hospital, that their days are as least impacted as possible, right,

745
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 21: Because it's already stressful in the whole family when when

746
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 21: we have a family member in the hospital.

747
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 5: So my job is really just to.

748
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 21: Make sure that everybody else continued, can continue to go

749
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 21: on with their daily business and not be interrupted and

750
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 21: not have to constantly focus on the stress of somebody

751
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 21: being in the hospital.

752
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 5: But it's always it's it's.

753
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 21: Emotionally you know, draining, it's physically draining, and so we

754
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 21: we we try to just do stuff together at home,

755
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 21: just keep our minds off of it.

756
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, So if I'm home.

757
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 21: Then then we're trying to focus on each other and

758
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 21: just keep our minds off of it as much as possible.

759
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 21: Obviously not forget that we've got a family member in

760
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 21: the hospital, yead, but just as a little bit of a.

761
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 5: Of an escape.

762
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 21: And then you know, there's time where they're at home

763
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 21: and I'm with mom and you know, whoever whatever child

764
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 21: happens to be in the hospital, and and that's even

765
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 21: harder because then my sixteen year old daughter takes over

766
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 21: and as a sixteen year old, like you.

767
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 4: Know, yeah, there's a lot of responsibility, it is. Yeah. Yeah,

768
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 4: So we're raising money, of course for Lewd Children's Hospital

Speaker 4: you say to people listening to how is a parent?

773
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 4: Do you sort of when you know you have two

Speaker 4: sick children? I mean one and then two? What goes

775
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 4: through your brain? I mean, how do you how do

776
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 4: you deal with that? Like, what's the emotion? What's the

777
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 4: range of emotion?

778
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 5: You get every emotion possible.

779
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 21: You know, when when we're here, it's completely different because

780
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 21: when we're here, we're we're in work mode, right, Yeah,

781
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 21: there's there's still that that emotional toll that it takes.

782
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 21: But when we're here, it's you know, we're focused on

783
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 21: the care, but even more so, like turning from the

784
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 21: other side of the of the spectrum, like the hospital's

785
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 21: focused on us, right, and that that takes a lot

786
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 21: of the emotional burden off of it, right because we're

787
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 21: not nearly as worried about our child's care because we know,

788
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 21: we know we're in a good place, right Yeah, And

789
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 21: so it helps a ton when when we are here

790
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 21: for even the smallest of things, uh, sometimes for surgery,

791
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 21: whatever it is. You know, this is kind of a

792
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 21: home away from home for us. Unfortunately, we are here

793
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 21: a lot. Most families might only have one sick kid, right,

794
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 21: got two and they're both regular attendees here.

795
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 5: Yeah.

796
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 21: Yeah, but both of my kids they have learned to

797
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 21: call this kind of their home.

798
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 5: Away from home. Right according to Joe, what, Joe, what

799
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 5: do you call this place?

800
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 9: The doctor house?

801
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 5: The doctor house house is what he knows to be

802
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 5: the doctor house. Yeah, yeah, because this is where they live,

803
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 5: according to.

804
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:10,879
Speaker 21: Joe, Yeah, okay, but but no, it's great because they

805
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,919
Speaker 21: trade us like family, and they're always.

806
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 5: Checking up on even my wife and I.

807
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 4: Wow, we don't have anything to do with.

808
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 21: What they're doing in their job, but they're always turning

809
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 21: around and making sure that we're eating, are you sleeping

810
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 21: you know?

811
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 4: Yeah? Wow wow, Okay, So it's it's it's all family care.

812
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 4: Then they're worried about the whole the big picture. It

813
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 4: really is.

814
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,320
Speaker 21: Yeah, because once once their job is done for the

815
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 21: day and we go home, they're making sure that we're

816
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 21: continuing to advocate for them, you know, through different clinics

817
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 21: with the hospital and certain nurses that we've had that

818
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 21: we actually had we had.

819
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 5: A fish named after after one of our nurses really

820
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 5: sound impactful, you know, but.

821
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:54,800
Speaker 4: What an honor a fish named after? Wow? I aspire

822
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 4: for that someday.

823
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 5: We had a nurse that ye, we named it.

824
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 4: What was her name?

825
00:35:58,800 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 22: His name was?

826
00:35:59,600 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 4: His name?

827
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 5: Are are okay?

828
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,280
Speaker 4: All right? Yeah?

829
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 5: He was cool. Yeah, you have still here.

830
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,320
Speaker 4: You have a beautiful family, and I can tell you

831
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 4: guys all love each other so much to support each other,

832
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 4: and everyone looks healthy and happy. Last thing, I know,

833
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 4: you got to go. But what would you say to

834
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 4: someone listening now who's on the fence about making a

835
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 4: donation to Larry Children's Hospital as a family who has

836
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,359
Speaker 4: you know, benefited so much from from the care here.

837
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 21: Uh So, anybody that's on the fence of you know,

838
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 21: making a donation to to Lourie's this hospital has been

839
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 21: a lifesaver literally for us. We're a family of six,

840
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 21: and without Louis, we would be a family of four.

841
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 21: And so we are eternally grateful for Louris and and

842
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 21: anything that we can do to uh to not.

843
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 5: Be a family of four.

844
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 21: And if if you're on the fence with that, like

845
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 21: this family, this hospital has saved our family more times

846
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 21: over than we know.

847
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 5: And so anybody that's thinking about that.

848
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:06,240
Speaker 21: There's no there's no reason that you shouldn't because it

849
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 21: greatly impacts families across I can only assume across the country. Yeah, yeah,

850
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 21: you know we're fly local, but yeah, but it's been

851
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 21: amazing and without without Louries, I don't know where we

852
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 21: would be.

853
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, but not in year as good of a place

854
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 5: as we are.

855
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 4: I mean, if you're a parent, you hear that a

856
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 4: family of six that could be a family of four

857
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 4: without this place. I mean that is really really impactful. Joey,

Speaker 4: of volunteering here with Cal's Angels and with Make a

960
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 4: Wish in a number of other organizations, and I've seen

961
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:17,359
Speaker 4: firsthand the impact that Larry Children's has on families, not

962
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 4: only on the patients, but also on the families because

963
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 4: it's kind of a it's a three sixty thing. It's

964
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 4: everybody's included. There's more money, more bags, kick and rest.

965
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 4: They're taking care of everybody with the best care, some

966
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 4: of the best care in the world. And it's right

967
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 4: here in our backyard in Chicago that we can take

968
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 4: advantage of. But people are coming, as you know, staying

969
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,240
Speaker 4: at the Rondo mc donald houses from all over the country,

970
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 4: all over the state, all over the country, all over

971
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,359
Speaker 4: the world to get access to the best, you know, cardiologists.

972
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 4: We just heard from a family that benefited from the

973
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:53,399
Speaker 4: heart specialists here, bone specialist, cancer specialists, all kinds of things.

974
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, and even talking to Joeylake, he loved one of

975
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 7: his nurses so much that he wanted to name a

976
00:42:57,880 --> 00:42:59,560

Speaker 5: I was like, what up, dude?

981
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 4: You know, he put us in the children's hospital to

982
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 4: raise money and we're still a bunch of clowns. Nothing

983
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 4: has changed. It doesn't matter the setting. But the point

984
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:28,800
Speaker 4: is the more money we can raise, then the more useful.

985
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 4: We were at Lurry Children's Hospital this morning and we're

986
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 4: so fortunate to have the platform that we do and

987
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:37,360
Speaker 4: the thirteen strong listeners, and every now and again we

988
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 4: get to use the platform to try and help the community.

989
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 4: But we're really not able to do that without your help.

990
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 23: You know.

991
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:45,479
Speaker 4: We can sit here and talk about it all morning,

992
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 4: and we will, but it's up to you guys to

993
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:52,280
Speaker 4: help us make the greatest impact possible for Urry Children's Hospital.

994
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,840
Speaker 4: And it's a service like Ronald McDonald house, like makeaways,

995
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 4: like Col's Angels. It's a place I never I hope

996
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,120
Speaker 4: you never have to come. Yeah, but if you do,

997
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 4: then you're gonna be glad that this place is as

998
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 4: strong as possible. And as we mentioned before, one dollar,

999
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:10,240
Speaker 4: five dollars, ten dollars a rack, two rats, a billy, yeah,

1000
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 4: a milli, yeah, mag I'm a rapper. Basically, it doesn't matter.

1001
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 4: It all goes towards incredible care here and the evolution

1002
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 4: of the care and the research and all the rest

1003
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 4: of it. And also for the people who can't afford

1004
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,800
Speaker 4: to pay, they're not turned away at Louri Children's Hospital.

1005
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 4: So if you have a sick kid and you can't

1006
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 4: afford the very best, then this money goes towards helping

1099
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 5: Hi.

1100
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:14,319
Speaker 9: I'm Joey. I'm seven years old.

1101
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:16,360
Speaker 10: Hi I'm Lily. I'm thirteen years old and I'm a

1102
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:18,320
Speaker 10: patient every Children's.

1103
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:19,360
Speaker 5: We have two kids.

00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 19: That have heart conditions with nervous system issues, we have

1105
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:26,280
Speaker 19: digestion issues, we have all sorts of stuff.

1106
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:28,879
Speaker 17: As a mom, I had to just bawl my eyes

1107
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 17: out in front of my young little daughter and she

1108
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:34,319
Speaker 17: didn't understand it, and the doctor sat there and held

1109
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:38,320
Speaker 17: my hand while they were telling me the awful news.

1110
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:39,720
Speaker 13: So about five years.

1111
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 16: Ago I got diagnosed with my heart conditions. It was

1112
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:46,359
Speaker 16: very scary because I was so young. Just knowing what

1113
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:47,360
Speaker 16: Joey was going.

1114
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 17: Through, it was hard. It's still as hard. Lurry's makes

1115
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:53,839
Speaker 17: it a little bit easier. They are the first ones who

1116
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 17: worked with us when we.

1117
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,720
Speaker 13: Found out about Joseph when he was in my belly,

1118
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:12,760
Speaker 13: so it was amazing. When you're trying to care.

1119
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:14,839
Speaker 17: For your child who you know, just had open heart

1120
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 17: surgery or went through some other procedures, they can see

1121
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,359
Speaker 17: that frustration and a parent or the emotion coming through

1122
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 17: and they make sure that they're okay.

1123
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 13: If the nurses have been a huge role of it.

1124
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 17: They make them comfortable when they're in the hospital, when

1125
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,839
Speaker 17: they're in pain, when we're you know, emotional in pain.

1126
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:34,719
Speaker 13: They don't just care for the kids, they care for

1127
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:35,879
Speaker 13: the parents too.

1128
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 19: When we're spending a bunch of time in the hospital.

1129
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 19: We're exhausted, you know, as parents, it's it's physically immensally.

1130
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 13: Exhausting in addition to what the kids go through.

1131
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:47,879
Speaker 19: And but people, the nurses are always checking the us too,

1132
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 19: and doctors are always making sure that you know.

1133
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:51,439
Speaker 5: Mom, how are you doing if you.

1134
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 17: Even need to do when you can't fix your kid,

1135
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 17: you know, you can't do anything to fix it.

1136
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 13: That's what they're doing. You have to almost let go.

1137
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 17: It's really hard to do as a parent to let

1138
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 17: go of that that role of the caretaker and let

1139
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 17: them do it. They're gonna be okay, they're gonna get

1140
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 17: through it, and they're going to do the best that they.

1141
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 13: Can do for these kids.

1142
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 20: Pace.

1143
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 16: One of my favorite things that Lurri's is some of

1144
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:21,760
Speaker 16: the nurses.

1145
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 5: They really know how to like bring a smile to

1146
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:25,280
Speaker 5: my face, Like if.

1147
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:28,280
Speaker 16: They're going there for the first time, to just trust

1148
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 16: Lurries because they obviously know what they're doing.

1149
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:31,760
Speaker 10: Let them do what they know best.

1150
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 9: The big Fish drink is my favorite thing in the hospital.

1151
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 13: The holidays are always an awesome place at our house.

1152
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 17: You know, we don't get to do a lot of

1153
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:43,960
Speaker 17: stuff as a family because of their medical stuff.

1154
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 13: So we just go crazy in the house.

1155
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 17: There's a tree in every corner of the room, there's

1156
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 17: decorations everywhere, there's we just get comfortable.

1157
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:55,080

Speaker 4: No, I wouldn't be older. I got one sister. I

1211
00:52:59,400 --> 00:52:59,920

Speaker 5: I one means it's great fun. It's great fun.

1213
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:05,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, But when you have kids in your life, you

1214
00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:06,960
Speaker 4: want to protect them at all costs, of course. And

1215
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:09,360
Speaker 4: I would imagine as a parent, as I'm an uncle,

1216
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 4: you're a you're an aunt. I mean, the worst possible

1217
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 4: thing that you can think of is having a sick child,

1218
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,439
Speaker 4: and you, I would imagine you just want to make

1219
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 4: that stop. You want to make that go away for

1220
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:22,440
Speaker 4: them and give them the best care. And that's what

1221
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:24,359
Speaker 4: we're doing here. And that's why you guys have come

1222
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:28,239
Speaker 4: along with your did I mention sixteen thousand dollars check

1223
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 4: that we fully intend to take from you.

1224
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:32,799
Speaker 5: The best part is one hundred percent of.

1225
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:35,160
Speaker 11: It goes to Louis And this goes to helping kids.

1226
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 11: It goes towards the research, it goes whatever. I mean,

1227
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 11: it goes towards helping kids. At the end of the day.

1228
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 11: So they can ring that bell when they're feeling better

1229
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 11: and when they cancer, whatever it is they're sick with,

1230
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 11: is gone.

1231
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 5: And that's the most important thing.

1232
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:48,279
Speaker 4: Well, and look, it's good to know when you when

Speaker 7: They do a pet therapy program that's two hundred dollars

1401
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:34,600

Speaker 4: All need, right which Mama Fred actually does that in Arizona.

1404
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 4: hundred dollars, which means my Christmas presence going down in value.

1405
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 4: But that's okay. I'm fine with that. Lurry Children's Hospital,

Speaker 4: you could also do it, honestly, speaking of which you

1407
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:52,320
Speaker 4: could do it in honor of someone else and give

1408
01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:54,640
Speaker 4: it to them. I think people would really appreciate that

1409
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:56,920
Speaker 4: if you were that thoughtful to make a donation in

1410
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:58,520

1427
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:49,680
Speaker 4: Chicago's number one in music States. We're broadcasting live from

1428
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:52,000
Speaker 4: Luried Children's Hospital. We're here in the cafeteria on the

1429
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 4: eleventh floor of this beautiful facility, trying to raise. The

1430
01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 4: number that we're trying to hit is one gazillion. Yes

1431
01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:01,880
Speaker 4: and yeah, now she's laughing at that. One gazillion is

1432
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:03,320
Speaker 4: the number that we're after. I don't know how many

1433
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:06,440
Speaker 4: zero's that is. I'm not even sure the computer system

1434
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 4: can handle that, but we'd like to find out. So

1435
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 4: one gazillion is the number we're trying to raise. I'm

1436
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:13,200
Speaker 4: not even being I am being funny. Because I'll take

1437
01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:17,000
Speaker 4: a billion, that's fine. But this, this place is incredible.

1438
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:20,000
Speaker 4: And I mean the number of lives that have been

1439
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:22,880
Speaker 4: saved because of Larry Children's Hospital, Children's Lives. We heard

1440
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:26,200
Speaker 4: it last hour. A family, you know, a couple that

1441
01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:30,640
Speaker 4: has four kids, two of them were diagnosed with congenital

1442
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 4: heart issues, both of whom are being treated here and

1443
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:39,760
Speaker 4: their lives saved. I couldn't have put it anymore succinctly.

1444
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:42,320
Speaker 4: That's a family of six that was about to be

1445
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:43,360
Speaker 4: a family of four.

1446
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:44,720
Speaker 5: So powerful.

1447
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:45,960
Speaker 13: I got goosebumps trying to send that.

1448
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:49,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, and to think that, you know, two lives

1449
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 4: were well, really the little boy they found out about

1450
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:54,560
Speaker 4: his heart defect and then because of that they got

1451
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 4: the rest of a family. Check. It turns out another

1452
01:02:56,920 --> 01:02:59,760
Speaker 4: another one of the young girls had a hard problem

1453
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 4: treated here. Both prognosis is strong. They're doing great, tons

1454
01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:06,080
Speaker 4: of energy, they're here helping us raise money today. I mean,

1455
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:08,840
Speaker 4: that's just one story, and I'm sure that there are

1456
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:11,520
Speaker 4: thousands of them. And this is a place that's in

1457
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:14,280
Speaker 4: our backyard, a place that's here for our community and

1458
01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:16,120
Speaker 4: really for the world. But they need your help because

1459
01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:19,760
Speaker 4: this stuff is not inexpensive as you know, I mean

1460
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:23,400
Speaker 4: having the best doctors and the best surgeons and the

1461
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:25,960
Speaker 4: best you know, access to equipment and all the rest

1462
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:28,800
Speaker 4: of us state of the art everything research. That all

1463
01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:32,520
Speaker 4: costs a lot of money. And frankly, as we've learned

1464
01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:34,680
Speaker 4: over the years working with Cal's Angels, a lot of

1465
01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:37,320
Speaker 4: the money in you know, that's dedicated to this kind

1466
01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:40,640
Speaker 4: of stuff does not go to pediatrics. It goes for

1467
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:43,720
Speaker 4: grown up care. And but the kids needed the kids

1468
01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:45,240
Speaker 4: need it more than anything. I mean, I feel like

1469
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:49,160
Speaker 4: every child has a right to live a fruitful, healthy life,

1470
01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:51,960
Speaker 4: and this place is making that happen. So if you're

1471
01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:55,040
Speaker 4: a parent and you're listening now, I'm pulling at your heartstrings.

1472
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:57,720
Speaker 4: I hope you never need to come here, but if

1473
01:03:57,720 --> 01:03:59,160
Speaker 4: you do, you're gonna want it here. You're gonna want

1474
01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:01,000
Speaker 4: it thriving and strong. And the number to call to

1475
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:03,800
Speaker 4: donate is eight eight eight eight three one seven seven

1476
01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:07,200
Speaker 4: three to three. In this hour, another power hour, h

1477
01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 4: Robinson is going to match twenty five thousand dollars worth

1478
01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:16,080
Speaker 4: of donations. Twenty five thousand dollars. But it's a bigger number,

1479
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:18,880
Speaker 4: it's a bigger goal. Last hour it was fifty people,

1480
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:22,400
Speaker 4: which we surpassed thanks to your generosity. Fifty people who

1481
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:25,240
Speaker 4: signed up for twenty dollars a month, which is automatically

1482
01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:27,160
Speaker 4: just taken out of your checking or your credit card

1483
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:29,680
Speaker 4: or whatever. Twenty bucks gone. That's lunch out, not a

1484
01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:32,640
Speaker 4: big deal this hour. We need one hundred people, though,

1485
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:36,920
Speaker 4: one hundred monthly donors at twenty dollars a month in

1486
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:40,760
Speaker 4: order to match a twenty five thousand dollars gift, which

1487
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:42,560
Speaker 4: I mean you look at some of the bigger ticket

1488
01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:46,000
Speaker 4: items around here, Klin at Larriid Children's Hospital, that your

1489
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:48,080
Speaker 4: money would go chwards, just to give you some perspective

1490
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:49,000
Speaker 4: of where your money's going.

1491
01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:51,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, So like five hundred dollars, we'll get a family

1492
01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:54,520
Speaker 7: a travel sipend. So I guess if you're coming to

1493
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:57,720
Speaker 7: participate in a clinical trial, that will cover all the

1494
01:04:57,760 --> 01:04:58,520
Speaker 7: travel for that.

1495
01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:03,200
Speaker 5: At twenty five hundred, which I mean we're hoping for,

1496
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:04,640
Speaker 5: Nina will write.

1497
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:06,240
Speaker 7: A song for you, but you can get a literal

1498
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:08,680
Speaker 7: scientific breakthrough quit that amount of money.

1499
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:13,040
Speaker 4: Look at that. Paulina's song is a scientific breakthrough, but

1500
01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:16,680
Speaker 4: a real one, right, And that's I think that's the number.

1501
01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:18,920
Speaker 4: That's what we're after here is twenty five. Let's get

1502
01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:21,080
Speaker 4: a twenty five hundred dollars donation and if you're just

1503
01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 4: tuning in, Paulina made an incredible offer earlier this morning

1504
01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:26,600
Speaker 4: that I well, I told her she had to, but

1505
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:27,880
Speaker 4: she was all about it.

1506
01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:29,560
Speaker 11: Ohway, its always all.

1507
01:05:29,480 --> 01:05:33,080
Speaker 4: About the kids, and it was if you donate. We

1508
01:05:33,120 --> 01:05:35,040
Speaker 4: didn't have a number, but now we do a scientific

1509
01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:37,880
Speaker 4: breakthrough at two five hundred dollars. If you donate that,

1510
01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:40,720
Speaker 4: Paulina will write a song for you and.

1511
01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:42,720
Speaker 5: I will give all the legal rights to it.

1512
01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:44,120
Speaker 4: You would do that, I would do that.

1513
01:05:44,160 --> 01:05:45,200
Speaker 5: I would absolutely do that.

1514
01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:48,600
Speaker 4: You're gonna sign over the creative on this, yeah, believe

1515
01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:50,240
Speaker 4: it or not, which means that you also will get

1516
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:55,040
Speaker 4: the lawsuit for her stealing the music. Say that, yeah,

1517
01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:57,480
Speaker 4: yeah no, but that's okay. But maybe you have a

1518
01:05:57,480 --> 01:06:00,520
Speaker 4: little business or a big business like our friends. It's

1519
01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:02,080
Speaker 4: the pet Store.

1520
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:05,040
Speaker 18: Pop Star Top Stars.

1521
01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:07,960
Speaker 4: They came with five hundred bucks. That was very, very generous,

1522
01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:10,200
Speaker 4: but we got a hold it a little higher. A

1523
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:13,040
Speaker 4: little higher for an original Paulina song and it could

1524
01:06:13,080 --> 01:06:15,040
Speaker 4: be a jingle for your business whatever. We'll play it

1525
01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:17,160
Speaker 4: on the air. But that's what we're after. This hour.

1526
01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:19,760
Speaker 4: I want to get a Fred show two five hundred

1527
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:21,720
Speaker 4: dollars donation. That would be something, wouldn't it.

1528
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:23,080
Speaker 5: Yes, that's what we're looking for.

1529
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:23,840

01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:46,919
Speaker 4: be honest. I think we're all together in this room

1540
01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:50,320
Speaker 4: full of women all day. But see look twenty five.

1541
01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:53,959
Speaker 4: There is no donation too large or too small, whether

1542
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:56,200
Speaker 4: it's twenty five dollars, whether it's a thousand, whether it's

1543
01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:59,400
Speaker 4: twenty five hundred for Larry Children's Hospital. We're here today

1544
01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:01,760
Speaker 4: and we've ded it the radio station today to raising

1545
01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:05,080
Speaker 4: as much money as possible for little girls like Molly.

1546
01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:07,160
Speaker 4: At least she's eight, and we'll talk to her in

1547
01:07:07,240 --> 01:07:09,800
Speaker 4: a little bit. But here's more on Molly's story on

1548
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:12,840
Speaker 4: the Lury Children's Hospital. Radio thought on the Fred show

1549
01:07:12,840 --> 01:07:13,600
Speaker 4: What O three five.

1550
01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:18,200
Speaker 15: Molly had been having stomach pains for about two months

1551
01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:22,240
Speaker 15: prior to diagnosis. We were told that it was constipation.

1552
01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:26,760
Speaker 15: Ultimately she was still having these pains. We said, this

1553
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:30,480
Speaker 15: is more than constipation x ratio. There was a mass.

1554
01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:33,720
Speaker 22: The technician that did the ultrasound immediately left the room

1555
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:36,160
Speaker 22: and then they told us it was a mess, and

1556
01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:39,160
Speaker 22: then we should go home real quick to grab some

1557
01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:41,480
Speaker 22: of her things and then come back because she was

1558
01:07:41,480 --> 01:07:43,560
Speaker 22: going to be admitted for a while. There was so

1559
01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:46,240
Speaker 22: much information thrown at us, probably within the first like

1560
01:07:46,280 --> 01:07:48,080
Speaker 22: two to three days, that a lot of it is

1561
01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:50,240
Speaker 22: a blur because it's very overwhelming.

1562
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:51,479
Speaker 5: This isn't my fot.

1563
01:08:00,960 --> 01:08:03,800
Speaker 15: We also went there just expecting to get a heavy

1564
01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:07,800
Speaker 15: duty stool softener and then to be told that she

1565
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:10,800
Speaker 15: has a mass and her mass was very extremely large.

1566
01:08:11,080 --> 01:08:13,160
Speaker 15: That was very scary and ner shocking.

1567
01:08:13,320 --> 01:08:15,680
Speaker 22: Surgeon at the hospital told us he said it was

1568
01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:18,400
Speaker 22: bigger than a sixteen in softball. Then they scanned up

1569
01:08:18,479 --> 01:08:20,200
Speaker 22: higher and they showed us the lungs and there were

1570
01:08:20,240 --> 01:08:21,759
Speaker 22: over ten tumors in her lungs.

1571
01:08:22,040 --> 01:08:25,719
Speaker 15: I fell to the floor, just sobbing, just going from

1572
01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:31,320
Speaker 15: never having any appointments to she has a massive mass

1573
01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:33,000
Speaker 15: in her and in her lungs.

1574
01:08:33,760 --> 01:08:38,000
Speaker 22: He successfully removed her tumor, her kidney part of a

1575
01:08:38,080 --> 01:08:41,439
Speaker 22: colon that was wrapped around the tumor. Another thing they

1576
01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:45,160
Speaker 22: did that Laurie was really great about was they removed

1577
01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:50,080
Speaker 22: an ovary for fertility preservation, so she can't have children later.

1578
01:08:50,320 --> 01:08:59,920
Speaker 5: This isn't my life, so child life.

1579
01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:06,000
Speaker 15: They are angels in the hospital, challenging subjects to your

1580
01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 15: six year old? What is cancer? What is a tumor?

1581
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:12,760
Speaker 15: I would also like just to touch on how amazing

1582
01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:17,920
Speaker 15: all the staff is. They're incredible, the doctors, the surgeons,

1583
01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:22,559
Speaker 15: the nurses, the staff that brings Molly wi't order lunch

1584
01:09:22,560 --> 01:09:25,599
Speaker 15: and breakfast, just to see Miss Barbara bring a tray

1585
01:09:25,640 --> 01:09:26,240
Speaker 15: of food up to.

1586
01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:28,559
Speaker 5: Her so she can say hi. Her stem cell.

1587
01:09:28,439 --> 01:09:31,760
Speaker 15: Doctor and team even learn the floss for her, and

1588
01:09:32,320 --> 01:09:33,200
Speaker 15: they were doing.

1589
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:36,440
Speaker 22: The floss they're watching like YouTube tutorials.

1590
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:39,080
Speaker 15: They remember her birthday when she came into clinic. They

1591
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:41,679
Speaker 15: had a huge sign for her signed by her whole team.

1592
01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:44,280
Speaker 15: Special things we would wear special.

1593
01:09:44,120 --> 01:09:47,479
Speaker 22: Like cheetah print shirts or shoes because they know Molly

1594
01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:51,240
Speaker 22: loves cheetahs. The hospital itself, everyone knows where it probably

1595
01:09:51,320 --> 01:09:55,160
Speaker 22: ranks as far as like their capabilities, but beyond that,

1596
01:09:55,400 --> 01:09:58,240
Speaker 22: it's the people that are there. They're so good at

1597
01:09:58,280 --> 01:10:03,240
Speaker 22: dealing with scared children and angry parents, scared sad parents,

1598
01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:05,320
Speaker 22: all sorts of emotions that we have, and they're able

1599
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:06,360
Speaker 22: to handle all of those.

1600
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:09,439
Speaker 5: How is Molly feeling. She's doing amazing. We just had

1601
01:10:09,479 --> 01:10:12,320
Speaker 5: to check up on Monday. All her counts are great.

1602
01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:16,880
Speaker 15: She hasn't needed any transfusions. The stem cell teams said

1603
01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:20,120
Speaker 15: that if counsel are still good, I'll probably already release

1604
01:10:20,200 --> 01:10:23,120
Speaker 15: her back to our ecology team. I can never say

1605
01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:26,360
Speaker 15: how appreciative we are of the entire staff who have

1606
01:10:26,439 --> 01:10:27,839
Speaker 15: helped our entire family.

1607
01:10:27,960 --> 01:10:29,080
Speaker 5: Not just smiling, no, I.

1608
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:36,960
Speaker 2: Still guy, Wow, very powerful story about a little girl,

1609
01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:38,680
Speaker 2: eight year old little girl, and Caylin you said it

1610
01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:39,479
Speaker 2: best a minute ago.

1611
01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:43,120
Speaker 4: There's really no detail spared here. There's nothing that they

1612
01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:45,720
Speaker 4: haven't thought about, you know, all the way to the

1613
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:50,080
Speaker 4: patient experience, and that's that's stuff that money can't buy.

1614
01:10:50,400 --> 01:10:53,599
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, the donations go towards the staff here,

1615
01:10:53,960 --> 01:10:56,040
Speaker 4: you know, everybody from the people working in the cafeteria

1616
01:10:56,040 --> 01:10:57,840
Speaker 4: all the way up to the you know, world famous

1617
01:10:57,840 --> 01:11:01,600
Speaker 4: brain surgeons. But I mean no detail is is forgotten.

1618
01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:02,640
Speaker 5: Like birthday parties.

1619
01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:06,440
Speaker 7: They do arts and crafts, they do music therapy, pet therapy.

1620
01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:10,040
Speaker 7: I mean, every single thing is covered for the whole family,

1621
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:10,799
Speaker 7: really right.

1622
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:13,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, And I want to know maybe when you

1625
01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:21,599
Speaker 4: A different kind of illness is the emergency facility here.

1626
01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:22,880
Speaker 4: But I got to see meal this morning. I'm not

1628
01:11:26,080 --> 01:11:29,760
Speaker 4: to to give you an idea of the range of

1629
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:31,479
Speaker 4: this place. It said, thank you for what you're doing

1630
01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:34,240
Speaker 4: for Larid Children's Hospital. In August of twenty twenty one,

1631
01:11:34,280 --> 01:11:36,320
Speaker 4: my daughter tried to take her own life. She was

1632
01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:39,240
Speaker 4: taken by Flight for Life to Lard Children's Hospital. My

1633
01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:42,760
Speaker 4: daughter received top notch care in the ICU and then

1634
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:46,559
Speaker 4: in the adolescent psychiatry ward. This was the hardest part

1635
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:49,759
Speaker 4: of my parenting journey. I haven't been myself since the folks.

1636
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:52,439
Speaker 4: I haven't been myself since the folks at the Rid

1637
01:11:52,479 --> 01:11:55,200
Speaker 4: Children's Hospital saved my daughter and save me. They treated

1638
01:11:55,280 --> 01:11:58,360
Speaker 4: us with compassion and respect. My daughter wasn't just a patience,

1639
01:11:58,360 --> 01:12:01,280
Speaker 4: she was a person. I can't think them enough. Without them,

1640
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:05,200
Speaker 4: my daughter wouldn't be here. And that's somebody you know

1641
01:12:05,439 --> 01:12:08,000
Speaker 4: who's in Chicago at that's that's a local person who

1642
01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:10,600
Speaker 4: listens to us and donated and wanted to know. But

1643
01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:13,200
Speaker 4: you know, the range of care is is vast and

1644
01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:15,920
Speaker 4: it's some of the best in the world. So that's

1645
01:12:15,920 --> 01:12:19,000
Speaker 4: why we're donating today. That's why this is you know,

1646
01:12:19,320 --> 01:12:21,800
Speaker 4: iHeart media in Chicago. All of our stations are doing this.

1647
01:12:21,960 --> 01:12:24,360
Speaker 4: Kiss FM is devoted to this all day today and

1648
01:12:24,479 --> 01:12:26,360
Speaker 4: the number to call to donate is eight eight eight

1649
01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:29,080
Speaker 4: eight three one seven seven three three and this hour

1650
01:12:29,160 --> 01:12:31,920
Speaker 4: C H. Robinson. He is going to match up to

1651
01:12:31,960 --> 01:12:35,120
Speaker 4: twenty five thousand dollars worth of donations. We're looking for

1652
01:12:35,320 --> 01:12:39,639
Speaker 4: one hundred monthly donors to commit to twenty bucks a month,

1653
01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:41,920
Speaker 4: which I think a lot of people can out everybody,

1654
01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:43,559
Speaker 4: but a lot of people can afford that. But any

1655
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:46,080
Speaker 4: donation large or small, is really valuable.

1656
01:12:46,160 --> 01:12:48,320
Speaker 7: I mean, that's like two drinks at the bar, Like

1657
01:12:48,400 --> 01:12:50,400
Speaker 7: maybe you just don't get two drinks at the.

1658
01:12:50,320 --> 01:12:54,040
Speaker 18: Bar, right that's like wondering at the bar and it's okay.

1659
01:12:55,920 --> 01:12:56,759
Speaker 18: Where are you hanging.

1660
01:12:56,560 --> 01:12:59,200
Speaker 5: Out with my house? Because I can't afford it.

1661
01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:01,840
Speaker 4: I go on to days on the one pain. That's

1662
01:13:01,880 --> 01:13:03,720
Speaker 4: one of those fancy Martini look at things with a

1663
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:06,000
Speaker 4: fruit hanging out of it or whatever's what that is.

1664
01:13:06,720 --> 01:13:10,080
Speaker 4: So eighty three more people to hit our goal, and

1665
01:13:10,120 --> 01:13:12,360
Speaker 4: we have another forty minutes to do it at Lard

1666
01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:14,519
Speaker 4: Children's Hospital. So we can take the twenty five thousand

1667
01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:17,440
Speaker 4: dollars subsidich Robinson and put it to good use immediately.

1668
01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:21,160
Speaker 4: And yes, some of these treatments are tens of thousands

1669
01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:24,080
Speaker 4: of dollars. And if a child needs it and a

1670
01:13:24,120 --> 01:13:26,400
Speaker 4: family can't afford it, they are not turned away. That's

1671
01:13:26,439 --> 01:13:30,240
Speaker 4: a really important thing to note. Nobody is turned away

1672
01:13:30,240 --> 01:13:33,720
Speaker 4: at Lard Children's Hospital if they can't afford what is

1673
01:13:33,760 --> 01:13:38,120
Speaker 4: required for their child to survive. And again, I'm not

1674
01:13:38,160 --> 01:13:41,840
Speaker 4: a parent, none of us are yet, but I've seen

1675
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:45,800
Speaker 4: it firsthanded. I just can't imagine the pain, the anguish,

1676
01:13:45,920 --> 01:13:50,480
Speaker 4: the desperation of learning that your child has a debilitating

1677
01:13:50,520 --> 01:13:54,880
Speaker 4: illness or a life threatening disease. I can't imagine what.

1678
01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:57,080
Speaker 4: I don't think there's anything worse. I would have to

1679
01:13:57,080 --> 01:13:59,200
Speaker 4: think there is nothing worse. And you know, for a

1680
01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:02,839
Speaker 4: place like this to really care for for the entire process,

1681
01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:05,840
Speaker 4: the entire family, everybody is. It's a three hundred and

1682
01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:09,080
Speaker 4: sixty degree approach, uh, you know, to combating you know,

1683
01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:13,000
Speaker 4: these serious illnesses and life threatening uh situations. And there

1684
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:15,479
Speaker 4: are so many success stories to share, a lot of

1685
01:14:15,520 --> 01:14:17,559

1763
01:17:25,720 --> 01:17:28,240
Speaker 4: Molly and sort of why we're here.

1764
01:17:28,760 --> 01:17:31,679
Speaker 22: So Molly is currently eight years old once you're six.

1765
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:33,960
Speaker 22: In May of twenty twenty one, she was diagnosed with

1766
01:17:34,040 --> 01:17:37,040
Speaker 22: STAGS four diffusanta plastic Wilms tumor.

1767
01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:38,400
Speaker 6: It's a kidney cancer.

1768
01:17:39,240 --> 01:17:41,600
Speaker 22: It's spread to her lungs that were overcome tumors and

1769
01:17:41,600 --> 01:17:42,880
Speaker 22: her lungs as well.

1770
01:17:43,560 --> 01:17:45,280
Speaker 6: We received all her treatment here.

1771
01:17:45,360 --> 01:17:49,320
Speaker 22: She had tumor and kidney removed, along with part of

1772
01:17:49,320 --> 01:17:53,360
Speaker 22: her colon and ovary for fertility preservation so she can't

1773
01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:59,400
Speaker 22: have children. Later on, she underwent about twelve radio radiation sessions,

1774
01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:05,040
Speaker 22: received about nine months of treatment before finding out well.

1775
01:18:05,080 --> 01:18:08,080
Speaker 6: At the time her all her scans were becoming clear.

1776
01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:13,120
Speaker 22: Uh. And then around April of this year, they found

1777
01:18:13,160 --> 01:18:15,200
Speaker 22: a tumor under lung that was growing while she was

1778
01:18:15,200 --> 01:18:19,000
Speaker 22: currently on treatment, so we had a change course, change direction.

1779
01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:22,080
Speaker 22: She ended up getting a different type of chemo for

1780
01:18:22,120 --> 01:18:24,599
Speaker 22: a while, and then in July of this year she

1781
01:18:24,680 --> 01:18:26,840
Speaker 22: got hidos chemo with stem cell transplant.

1782
01:18:27,240 --> 01:18:27,840
Speaker 4: She was in the.

1783
01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:30,800
Speaker 22: Hospital for probably about four weeks, a little over four weeks,

1784
01:18:30,840 --> 01:18:32,280
Speaker 22: and then we stayed a couple of weeks with the

1785
01:18:32,320 --> 01:18:33,439
Speaker 22: Ronald McDonald house.

1786
01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:36,120
Speaker 6: And then we.

1787
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:40,880
Speaker 22: Did a post scan or post treatment scan three months later.

1788
01:18:41,160 --> 01:18:43,200
Speaker 22: It was clear and so she was able to ring

1789
01:18:43,240 --> 01:18:44,080
Speaker 22: the bell last month.

1790
01:18:44,479 --> 01:18:45,720
Speaker 4: That's amazing the.

1791
01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:49,240
Speaker 22: End of treatment. Her hair's growing back. She's back in school.

1792
01:18:49,600 --> 01:18:51,280
Speaker 4: She does not like it when you touch her head.

01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:55,160

Speaker 4: three five.

1886
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:41,760
Speaker 15: Molly had been having stomach pains for about two months.

1887
01:22:41,840 --> 01:22:45,800
Speaker 15: Prior to diagnosis. We were told that it was constipation.

1888
01:22:46,160 --> 01:22:50,320
Speaker 15: Ultimately she was still having these pains. We said, this

1889
01:22:50,360 --> 01:22:54,040
Speaker 15: is more than constapation. X ray should there was a mass.

1890
01:22:54,280 --> 01:22:57,280
Speaker 22: The technician that did the altarsound immediately left the room

1891
01:22:57,439 --> 01:22:59,680
Speaker 22: and then they told us it was a mass and

1892
01:22:59,720 --> 01:23:02,720
Speaker 22: then we should go home real quick to grab some

1893
01:23:02,800 --> 01:23:05,040
Speaker 22: of her things and then come back because she was

1894
01:23:05,040 --> 01:23:07,120
Speaker 22: going to be admitted for a while. There was so

1895
01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:09,800
Speaker 22: much information thrown at us, probably within the first like

1896
01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:11,640
Speaker 22: two to three days, that a lot of it is

1897
01:23:11,640 --> 01:23:13,800
Speaker 22: a blur because it's very overwhelming.

1898
01:23:13,960 --> 01:23:15,120
Speaker 5: This isn't much wine.

1899
01:23:24,520 --> 01:23:27,360
Speaker 15: We also went there just expecting to get a heavy

1900
01:23:27,439 --> 01:23:31,360
Speaker 15: duty stool softener, and then to be told that she

1901
01:23:31,400 --> 01:23:34,360
Speaker 15: has a mass and her mask was very extremely large,

1902
01:23:34,640 --> 01:23:35,639
Speaker 15: that it was very.

1903
01:23:35,439 --> 01:23:36,719
Speaker 5: Scary and turn shocking.

1904
01:23:36,880 --> 01:23:39,240
Speaker 22: Surgeon at the hospital told us, he said it was

1905
01:23:39,280 --> 01:23:41,960
Speaker 22: bigger than a sixteen inue softball. Then they scanned up

1906
01:23:42,040 --> 01:23:43,760
Speaker 22: higher and they showed us the lungs and there were

1907
01:23:43,800 --> 01:23:45,320
Speaker 22: over ten tumors in her lungs.

1908
01:23:45,600 --> 01:23:49,280
Speaker 15: I fell to the floor just sobbing, just going from

1909
01:23:49,840 --> 01:23:54,880
Speaker 15: never having any appointments to she has a massive mass

1910
01:23:54,880 --> 01:23:56,559
Speaker 15: in her and in her lungs.

1911
01:23:57,320 --> 01:24:01,960
Speaker 22: He successfully removed her tumor kidney part of a colon

1912
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:05,200
Speaker 22: that was wrapped around the tumor. Another thing they did

1913
01:24:05,200 --> 01:24:08,719
Speaker 22: that Laurie was really great about was they were moved

1914
01:24:08,720 --> 01:24:13,639
Speaker 22: an ovary for fertility preservation, so she can't have children later.

1915
01:24:13,880 --> 01:24:23,720
Speaker 5: This isn't like so child life is.

1916
01:24:24,320 --> 01:24:29,120
Speaker 15: They are angels in the hospital, challenging subjects to your

1917
01:24:29,680 --> 01:24:30,400
Speaker 15: six year old?

1918
01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:31,559
Speaker 5: What is cancer?

1919
01:24:31,680 --> 01:24:32,519
Speaker 13: What is a tumor?

1920
01:24:33,400 --> 01:24:36,320
Speaker 15: I would also like just to touch on how amazing

1921
01:24:36,800 --> 01:24:41,480
Speaker 15: all the staff is. They're incredible, the doctors, the surgeons,

1922
01:24:41,600 --> 01:24:46,120
Speaker 15: the nurses, the staff that brings Molly will order lunch

1923
01:24:46,120 --> 01:24:49,160
Speaker 15: and breakfast just to see Miss Barbara bring a tray

1924
01:24:49,200 --> 01:24:50,880
Speaker 15: of food up to her so she can say hi.

1925
01:24:51,120 --> 01:24:54,439
Speaker 15: Her stem cell doctor and team even learn the phloss

1926
01:24:54,479 --> 01:24:57,720
Speaker 15: for her, and they were doing the floss.

1927
01:24:57,880 --> 01:24:59,960
Speaker 6: They're watching like YouTube tutorials.

1928
01:25:00,160 --> 01:25:02,639
Speaker 15: They remember her birthday when she came into clinic. They

1929
01:25:02,640 --> 01:25:05,240
Speaker 15: had a huge sign for her, signed by her whole team.

1930
01:25:05,640 --> 01:25:07,840
Speaker 5: Special things we like.

1931
01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:11,880
Speaker 22: Cheetah print shirts or shoes because they know Molly loves cheetahs.

1932
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:15,559
Speaker 22: The hospital itself, everyone knows where Polly ranks as far

1933
01:25:15,640 --> 01:25:20,040
Speaker 22: as like their capabilities, but beyond that, it's the people

1934
01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:23,719
Speaker 22: that are there. They're so good at dealing with scared children,

1935
01:25:23,960 --> 01:25:27,960
Speaker 22: angry parents, scared sad parents, all sorts of emotions that

1936
01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:29,920
Speaker 22: we have and they're able to handle all of those.

1937
01:25:30,120 --> 01:25:31,120
Speaker 5: How is Molly feeling.

1938
01:25:31,280 --> 01:25:34,400
Speaker 15: She's doing amazing. We just had to check up on Monday.

1939
01:25:34,600 --> 01:25:38,640
Speaker 15: All her accounts are great. She hasn't needed any transfusions.

1940
01:25:39,120 --> 01:25:42,280
Speaker 15: The stem cell teams said that if counts are still good,

1941
01:25:42,320 --> 01:25:45,200
Speaker 15: I'll probably already release her back to our ecology team.

1942
01:25:45,479 --> 01:25:48,559
Speaker 15: I can never say how appreciative we are of the

1943
01:25:48,840 --> 01:25:51,400
Speaker 15: entire staff who have helped our entire family.

Speaker 4: special guest. She claims that she listens to us, Jamie,

2059
01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:29,439
Speaker 4: you claim to listen to us? Now, there's other radio

2060
01:31:29,439 --> 01:31:31,439
Speaker 4: stations here from my heart, are you going? Are you

2061
01:31:31,439 --> 01:31:33,519
Speaker 4: going booth to booth and telling them all the same thing.

2062
01:31:33,680 --> 01:31:35,439
Speaker 5: No, I'm staying here.

2063
01:31:35,479 --> 01:31:38,520
Speaker 20: I listen to you guys, probably the most.

2064
01:31:38,680 --> 01:31:40,800
Speaker 4: Oh no, I'm about to announce it. We're gonna ring

2065
01:31:40,800 --> 01:31:41,360
Speaker 4: the bell on that.

2066
01:31:41,479 --> 01:31:43,880
Speaker 5: I think they're going to hear it anyway. I'm caught.

2067
01:31:44,200 --> 01:31:46,320
Speaker 4: But you Greta is your daughter?

2068
01:31:46,479 --> 01:31:46,840
Speaker 16: She is?

2069
01:31:46,920 --> 01:31:49,240
Speaker 4: She's three and a half. Yes, and we really wanted

2070
01:31:49,280 --> 01:31:51,080
Speaker 4: to meet Greta. But the reason that I'm okay with

2071
01:31:51,080 --> 01:31:54,519
Speaker 4: not meeting Greta yet is because Greta has previously been

2072
01:31:54,560 --> 01:31:57,519
Speaker 4: here for two hundred and twenty five days? Is that right?

2073
01:31:57,680 --> 01:32:00,519
Speaker 20: Yes, twenty twenty she was here for two in twenty

2074
01:32:00,520 --> 01:32:02,520
Speaker 20: five days waiting for a heart transplant.

2075
01:32:03,520 --> 01:32:06,519
Speaker 4: Wow, I want to get into that in just a second.

2076
01:32:06,520 --> 01:32:08,320
Speaker 4: But and I know you haven't heard this yet, but

2077
01:32:08,320 --> 01:32:10,680
Speaker 4: I want to play this little montage here that we

2078
01:32:10,720 --> 01:32:13,640
Speaker 4: put together about Greta and about your story, but we

2079
01:32:13,680 --> 01:32:16,320
Speaker 4: also want all of your money. Eight eight three one

2080
01:32:16,400 --> 01:32:18,479
Speaker 4: seven seven three three is the number listened to this

2081
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:20,120
Speaker 4: so early.

2082
01:32:20,479 --> 01:32:24,960
Speaker 20: During a routine X ray, they discovered her heart looked enlarge,

2083
01:32:25,040 --> 01:32:28,160
Speaker 20: and that's when she was diagnosed with cardio myopathy. Once

2084
01:32:28,200 --> 01:32:31,080
Speaker 20: we were released from the nick You at our local hospital,

2085
01:32:31,080 --> 01:32:33,880
Speaker 20: we were referred to doctor Thrush and his team at

2086
01:32:33,960 --> 01:32:37,280
Speaker 20: Luriy Children's and then in June of twenty twenty, I

2087
01:32:37,400 --> 01:32:42,000
Speaker 20: noticed some abnormal behavior, throwing up a lot, was very lethargic,

2088
01:32:42,040 --> 01:32:46,280
Speaker 20: and going completely pale in my arms. The monitors revealed

2089
01:32:46,280 --> 01:32:48,680
Speaker 20: that her heart rate was in the three hundreds. All

2090
01:32:48,720 --> 01:32:50,960
Speaker 20: of a sudden, there was just people running, and that's

2091
01:32:51,000 --> 01:32:53,760
Speaker 20: all I remember, people running and grabbing her, and I

2092
01:32:53,840 --> 01:32:54,800
Speaker 20: was terrified.

2093
01:32:54,920 --> 01:32:56,040
Speaker 5: We were rushed by.

2094
01:32:55,920 --> 01:33:00,120
Speaker 20: Ambulance to Lurie's June eighth of twenty twenty, and we

2095
01:33:00,120 --> 01:33:03,559
Speaker 20: didn't leave for two hundred and twenty five days. She

2096
01:33:03,800 --> 01:33:06,680
Speaker 20: was diagnosed with a form of cardio myopathy that's so

2097
01:33:06,920 --> 01:33:09,120
Speaker 20: rare it doesn't even come up when you search it

2098
01:33:09,320 --> 01:33:11,840
Speaker 20: because most of them result in death.

2099
01:33:12,120 --> 01:33:14,240
Speaker 5: But I was just so thankful that we.

2100
01:33:14,240 --> 01:33:17,720
Speaker 20: Noticed symptoms and we arrived at the best hospital.

2101
01:33:17,240 --> 01:33:19,800
Speaker 5: And I knew we were in with hands.

2102
01:33:22,640 --> 01:33:32,240
Speaker 20: Was they decided that they would have to I implant

2103
01:33:32,400 --> 01:33:36,360
Speaker 20: to ventricular assist devices to keep her heart working. That's

2104
01:33:36,360 --> 01:33:38,519
Speaker 20: when we found out that she would in fact need

2105
01:33:38,520 --> 01:33:41,920
Speaker 20: a heart transplant. All the emotions in that first few days,

2106
01:33:42,040 --> 01:33:45,479
Speaker 20: especially sometimes what the doctors are saying, I couldn't even

2107
01:33:45,479 --> 01:33:49,160
Speaker 20: pay attention to. And everyone was wearing masks, so I

2108
01:33:49,240 --> 01:33:51,200
Speaker 20: was looking at their eyes. It was like I could

2109
01:33:51,200 --> 01:33:54,120
Speaker 20: read the concern in their eyes and then sometimes the

2110
01:33:54,200 --> 01:33:57,640
Speaker 20: excitement when things were getting, you know, better. But I

2111
01:33:57,720 --> 01:34:01,120
Speaker 20: just knew that every doctor that walked in was there

2112
01:34:01,240 --> 01:34:04,080
Speaker 20: to help us. I knew that they were going to

2113
01:34:04,120 --> 01:34:06,920
Speaker 20: make it their mission to get our daughter better.

2114
01:34:07,320 --> 01:34:07,800
Speaker 5: And then the.

2115
01:34:07,840 --> 01:34:11,519
Speaker 20: Nurses, I can't live without them through these journeys. I

2116
01:34:11,560 --> 01:34:14,080
Speaker 20: mean they are there to support the families as well

2117
01:34:14,200 --> 01:34:16,800
Speaker 20: as their patients. Obviously, they were there to be my

2118
01:34:16,840 --> 01:34:18,800
Speaker 20: sounding board to talk it out with me if I

2119
01:34:18,800 --> 01:34:19,680
Speaker 20: didn't understand.

2120
01:34:19,880 --> 01:34:22,960
Speaker 5: One thing that Larry does is they create a team.

2121
01:34:22,760 --> 01:34:25,959
Speaker 20: That stays with your child their entire journey.

2122
01:34:26,120 --> 01:34:27,479
Speaker 5: Those nurses are a family.

2123
01:34:27,680 --> 01:34:30,799
Speaker 23: We knew that she was in the best hands with people,

2124
01:34:31,120 --> 01:34:35,360
Speaker 23: the doctors. I felt as you knowing that she was

2125
01:34:35,400 --> 01:34:45,680
Speaker 23: with that team.

2126
01:34:46,840 --> 01:34:48,400
Speaker 13: She was very happy there.

2127
01:34:48,520 --> 01:34:49,599
Speaker 5: She was very content.

2128
01:34:50,120 --> 01:34:53,040
Speaker 20: Every person that walked by she gave them the biggest smile.

2129
01:34:54,120 --> 01:34:57,719
Speaker 5: The nurses loved dressing her up and therapy every day.

2130
01:34:58,160 --> 01:35:00,599
Speaker 20: Yeah, so, I mean all the doctors with like, oh,

2131
01:35:00,640 --> 01:35:02,599
Speaker 20: we walked by this room just to get a smile

2132
01:35:02,640 --> 01:35:06,440
Speaker 20: from the group. She loves dancing, singing princesses.

2133
01:35:07,320 --> 01:35:11,679
Speaker 5: She's really into Frozen, and she loves books. She wants

2134
01:35:11,680 --> 01:35:13,920
Speaker 5: to sit on everyone's lap and read a book.

2135
01:35:14,200 --> 01:35:16,920
Speaker 20: It's because she was so well taken care of that

2136
01:35:16,960 --> 01:35:19,440
Speaker 20: she she just thrived.

2137
01:35:19,240 --> 01:35:20,120
Speaker 5: While she waited.

2138
01:35:20,960 --> 01:35:23,320
Speaker 4: Wow, Jamie Gretta, I'm looking at a picture of her,

2139
01:35:23,320 --> 01:35:27,000
Speaker 4: She's beautiful. What she's into Froze? Is she talking a

2140
01:35:27,000 --> 01:35:27,479
Speaker 4: whole bunch?

2141
01:35:27,520 --> 01:35:28,559
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, talking a ton?

2142
01:35:28,800 --> 01:35:31,000
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah. So two hundred you were here for

2143
01:35:31,000 --> 01:35:33,000
Speaker 4: two hundred and twenty five consecutive days.

2144
01:35:33,040 --> 01:35:33,840
Speaker 5: Sounds crazy, right?

2145
01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:35,040
Speaker 4: And did you live in the room.

2146
01:35:35,600 --> 01:35:36,680
Speaker 9: I did not.

2147
01:35:37,520 --> 01:35:38,280
Speaker 13: We have an eight year.

2148
01:35:38,200 --> 01:35:40,120
Speaker 20: Old son at home, so we had to do a

2149
01:35:40,120 --> 01:35:41,080
Speaker 20: lot of bouncing back.

2150
01:35:41,080 --> 01:35:42,800
Speaker 5: And that's why when I say.

2151
01:35:42,720 --> 01:35:45,280
Speaker 20: That we had to rely on her team, we did.

2152
01:35:45,400 --> 01:35:47,920
Speaker 20: We felt comfortable that she was taking care of and

2153
01:35:47,960 --> 01:35:48,559
Speaker 20: we just had to.

2154
01:35:48,720 --> 01:35:51,120
Speaker 5: We had no other choice. We had to be there

2155
01:35:51,120 --> 01:35:53,240
Speaker 5: for our son as well. We didn't want his life

2156
01:35:53,280 --> 01:35:57,000
Speaker 5: to stop because of what was happening. So yeah, we

2157
01:35:57,080 --> 01:35:59,280
Speaker 5: had to rely on all the staff here.

2158
01:35:59,680 --> 01:36:03,000
Speaker 20: And we definitely felt comfortable leaving her.

2159
01:36:03,000 --> 01:36:03,240
Speaker 16: Pause.

2160
01:36:03,240 --> 01:36:05,800
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, the amount of trust you know

2161
01:36:05,880 --> 01:36:07,639
Speaker 4: that you must have and these I mean, of course

2162
01:36:07,680 --> 01:36:10,080
Speaker 4: they're doctors and some of the best in the world,

2163
01:36:10,080 --> 01:36:12,960
Speaker 4: but I mean, you have a family, you have a son,

2164
01:36:13,040 --> 01:36:14,600
Speaker 4: you have a husband, you have all the you know,

2165
01:36:14,640 --> 01:36:16,200
Speaker 4: the things that happen in every day life. I think

2166
01:36:16,200 --> 01:36:18,800
Speaker 4: people forget about that when you go through something like that.

2167
01:36:18,840 --> 01:36:20,480
Speaker 4: Life doesn't just stop, unfortunately.

2168
01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:23,479
Speaker 5: Exactly, Yeah, and go to work.

2169
01:36:23,560 --> 01:36:25,120
Speaker 20: I would get my son on the bus, I'd come

2170
01:36:25,120 --> 01:36:28,040
Speaker 20: here in the morning, and then I'd stay until she

2171
01:36:28,080 --> 01:36:29,760
Speaker 20: went down for a nap, and then I would leave

2172
01:36:29,760 --> 01:36:33,000
Speaker 20: for the day, and sometimes my son my husband would.

2173
01:36:32,760 --> 01:36:33,280
Speaker 5: Come in the night.

2174
01:36:33,479 --> 01:36:36,439
Speaker 20: But early on we stayed at the hospital with her

2175
01:36:36,800 --> 01:36:39,880
Speaker 20: in the scary days, but then we just we had

2176
01:36:39,880 --> 01:36:41,680
Speaker 20: to get our sleep so that we could do it

2177
01:36:41,680 --> 01:36:42,679
Speaker 20: over again the next day.

2178
01:36:42,760 --> 01:36:46,160
Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, and so what's the call like when

2179
01:36:46,360 --> 01:36:47,400
Speaker 4: you find out that she's going to.

2180
01:36:47,400 --> 01:36:50,439
Speaker 5: Get a heart I mean, there's no way to describe it.

2181
01:36:52,200 --> 01:36:54,120
Speaker 20: You wonder the whole time, where am I going to be,

2182
01:36:54,160 --> 01:36:55,120
Speaker 20: what am I going to be doing?

2183
01:36:56,000 --> 01:36:57,120
Speaker 5: You know, what are they going to say?

2184
01:36:57,280 --> 01:37:02,200
Speaker 20: And of all places, I was at Walmart, just you know,

2185
01:37:02,400 --> 01:37:04,920
Speaker 20: just random shopping, and I saw the number and it

2186
01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:07,840
Speaker 20: came up and I knew it. I knew it, and

2187
01:37:08,000 --> 01:37:10,839
Speaker 20: her whole team cheered in the background, and I actually

2188
01:37:10,920 --> 01:37:12,760
Speaker 20: just sat on the floor and I just had to

2189
01:37:12,800 --> 01:37:13,160
Speaker 20: take it in.

2190
01:37:13,439 --> 01:37:17,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, I left without buying a thing. I had to leave.

2191
01:37:17,200 --> 01:37:20,639
Speaker 20: I called, you know, my husband and some other family

2192
01:37:20,680 --> 01:37:22,679
Speaker 20: members and we just cried and.

2193
01:37:23,320 --> 01:37:25,320
Speaker 5: We just couldn't wait. We couldn't wait. We were just

2194
01:37:25,400 --> 01:37:27,880
Speaker 5: so overwhelmed. So from the moment you.

2195
01:37:27,840 --> 01:37:30,200
Speaker 7: Got the call, like, what was that process like after that?

2196
01:37:30,840 --> 01:37:33,800
Speaker 20: Yeah, it's not super fast, Okay, it's going to be

2197
01:37:33,800 --> 01:37:35,000
Speaker 20: super fast.

2198
01:37:35,120 --> 01:37:36,320
Speaker 5: So the call was in the morning.

2199
01:37:36,360 --> 01:37:38,679
Speaker 20: We were able to wait till Liam got home from

2200
01:37:38,720 --> 01:37:42,760
Speaker 20: school and tell him the exciting news before we headed down,

2201
01:37:43,000 --> 01:37:45,840
Speaker 20: and then we just sat with her and waited. She

2202
01:37:45,880 --> 01:37:49,559
Speaker 20: didn't go into surgery until that evening, and the heart

2203
01:37:49,640 --> 01:37:53,760
Speaker 20: arrived around midnight that night. My husband works for the

2204
01:37:53,760 --> 01:37:56,919
Speaker 20: Cook County Sheriff's apartment, and they wanted to do something special,

2205
01:37:57,040 --> 01:38:00,519
Speaker 20: so we had it set up that her heart would

2206
01:38:00,520 --> 01:38:03,560
Speaker 20: be escorted the whole way from the airport.

2207
01:38:03,240 --> 01:38:06,160
Speaker 4: By the Sheriff's department. Wow oh wow.

2208
01:38:06,360 --> 01:38:08,639
Speaker 5: So it was really awesome.

2209
01:38:08,680 --> 01:38:12,360

01:38:12,560 --> 01:38:14,080
Speaker 20: from Lake Shore Drive.

2211
01:38:15,560 --> 01:38:18,080
Speaker 5: Sorry, I know, it was pretty amazing.

2330
01:43:12,160 --> 01:43:14,400
Speaker 4: different than other days. You know, no waiting by the phone,

2331

Speaker 4: no throwback, throw it down, no smutty stuff hilarious, no

2332
01:43:19,479 --> 01:43:21,840
Speaker 4: Caleb no. And I know that it's it's sort of

2333
01:43:22,200 --> 01:43:24,280
Speaker 4: you know, we don't often just sort of stop down

2334
01:43:24,760 --> 01:43:27,360
Speaker 4: and do something like this, but that's how important this

2335
01:43:27,640 --> 01:43:29,840
Speaker 4: is to raise money for Larry Children's HOSS. But we've

2336
01:43:29,880 --> 01:43:32,320
Speaker 4: devoted the whole day to it, as of all the

2337
01:43:32,360 --> 01:43:35,400
Speaker 4: other iHeart Chicago stations, so trying to raise as much

2338
01:43:35,439 --> 01:43:38,000
Speaker 4: money as we possibly can for the stories like the

2339
01:43:38,000 --> 01:43:40,519
Speaker 4: ones you've heard this morning. The success story is the

2340
01:43:40,560 --> 01:43:44,960
Speaker 4: amazing stories of healing and perseverance, and Luri's Children's is

2341
01:43:45,040 --> 01:43:47,920
Speaker 4: behind all of it, and we've learned today they do

2342
01:43:48,680 --> 01:43:50,519
Speaker 4: so much more than you might have thought. You know,

2343
01:43:50,560 --> 01:43:53,000
Speaker 4: it's not not just cancer treat but not just surgeries

2344
01:43:53,040 --> 01:43:55,200
Speaker 4: and emergencies and stuff like that. I mean it's it's

2345
01:43:55,240 --> 01:43:57,519
Speaker 4: complete and total family care.

2346
01:43:57,760 --> 01:43:59,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, the mental health stuff, you know, you don't think

2347
01:43:59,720 --> 01:44:02,280
Speaker 7: about either, but they have all of that covered. And

2348
01:44:02,280 --> 01:44:04,240
Speaker 7: then you can also, you know, come here if one

2349
01:44:04,240 --> 01:44:06,280
Speaker 7: of the children are struggling with their mental health, which

2350
01:44:06,320 --> 01:44:09,200
Speaker 7: I didn't know you read that email earlier. Yeah, and

2351
01:44:09,240 --> 01:44:09,960
Speaker 7: that's amazing.

2352
01:44:10,000 --> 01:44:11,360
Speaker 5: So it's all areas well.

2353
01:44:11,400 --> 01:44:12,760
Speaker 4: And then you know, we talked about it. I think

2354
01:44:12,800 --> 01:44:15,240
Speaker 4: it's one hundred dollars. A seventy five dollars donation goes

2355
01:44:15,280 --> 01:44:18,840
Speaker 4: towards that would go that amount would go towards a

2356
01:44:18,920 --> 01:44:21,439
Speaker 4: child life specialist and a treatment for a child. And

2357
01:44:21,479 --> 01:44:25,120
Speaker 4: what they do, if you're not familiar, is they'll help

2358
01:44:25,240 --> 01:44:29,320
Speaker 4: a young child understand what is happening in a way

2359
01:44:29,320 --> 01:44:31,479
Speaker 4: that they can understand and comprehend. I mean, this is

2360
01:44:31,520 --> 01:44:34,200
Speaker 4: something that I hope you've never been through, but if

2361
01:44:34,280 --> 01:44:37,559
Speaker 4: you have, you know, if you haven't, I mean, think

2362
01:44:37,560 --> 01:44:40,040
Speaker 4: about how would you explain to your child the surgery

2363
01:44:40,080 --> 01:44:43,000
Speaker 4: they're having, or the treatment that they're receiving, or you know,

2364
01:44:43,400 --> 01:44:45,120
Speaker 4: the aftercare or the rest of it. And there are

2365
01:44:45,120 --> 01:44:47,800
Speaker 4: people here and it's their job, it's their mission in

2366
01:44:47,880 --> 01:44:51,960
Speaker 4: life to make the kids feel psychologically. You know, spiritually

2367
01:44:52,120 --> 01:44:55,439
Speaker 4: as comfortable as they possibly can going into something really

2368
01:44:55,479 --> 01:45:00,519
Speaker 4: serious and I don't even know where to begin. What

2369
01:45:00,600 --> 01:45:03,080
Speaker 4: I can tell you is when I say flood Brothers

Speaker 5: Part of our Lori Children's Radiothon.

2450
01:48:40,120 --> 01:48:42,400
Speaker 3: That's the key right here on one of three five

2451
01:48:42,520 --> 01:48:43,760
Speaker 3: kiss FF Fred's Show.

2452
01:48:44,960 --> 01:48:46,080
Speaker 5: She was born early.

2453
01:48:46,439 --> 01:48:50,120
Speaker 20: During a routine X ray, they discovered her heart looked

2454
01:48:50,280 --> 01:48:53,440
Speaker 20: in large and that's when she was diagnosed with cardio myopathy.

2455
01:48:53,880 --> 01:48:56,040
Speaker 20: Once we were released from the nick you at our

2456
01:48:56,160 --> 01:48:59,479
Speaker 20: local hospital, we were referred to doctor Thrush and his

2457
01:48:59,520 --> 01:49:03,080
Speaker 20: team at Children's and then in June of twenty twenty.

2458
01:49:03,160 --> 01:49:05,760
Speaker 5: I noticed some abnormal behavior.

2459
01:49:05,520 --> 01:49:09,080
Speaker 20: Throwing up a lot, was very lethargic and going completely

2460
01:49:09,160 --> 01:49:12,639
Speaker 20: pale in my arms. The monitors revealed that our heart

2461
01:49:12,720 --> 01:49:15,200
Speaker 20: rate was in the three hundreds. All of a sudden,

2462
01:49:15,240 --> 01:49:17,479
Speaker 20: there was just people running, and that's all I remember,

2463
01:49:17,520 --> 01:49:21,040
Speaker 20: people running and grabbing her, and I was terrified. We

2464
01:49:21,040 --> 01:49:25,639
Speaker 20: were rushed by ambulance to Luri's June eighth of twenty twenty,

2465
01:49:25,800 --> 01:49:27,760
Speaker 20: and we didn't leave for two hundred.

2466
01:49:27,479 --> 01:49:28,960
Speaker 5: And twenty five days.

2467
01:49:29,479 --> 01:49:32,559
Speaker 20: She was diagnosed with a form of cardio myopathy that's

2468
01:49:32,600 --> 01:49:34,960
Speaker 20: so rare it doesn't even come up when you search

2469
01:49:35,000 --> 01:49:37,800
Speaker 20: it because most of them result in death.

2470
01:49:38,080 --> 01:49:40,919
Speaker 5: But I was just so thankful that we noticed symptoms

2471
01:49:40,920 --> 01:49:43,680
Speaker 5: and we arrived at the best hospital.

2472
01:49:43,200 --> 01:49:56,280
Speaker 20: And I knew we were in with hands. They decided

2473
01:49:56,280 --> 01:50:00,479
Speaker 20: that they would have to implant to ventricular assistance vices

2474
01:50:00,680 --> 01:50:03,120
Speaker 20: to keep her heart working. That's when we found out

2475
01:50:03,160 --> 01:50:05,880
Speaker 20: that she would in fact need a heart transplant. All

2476
01:50:05,920 --> 01:50:09,880
Speaker 20: the emotions in that first few days, especially sometimes what

2477
01:50:09,920 --> 01:50:12,240
Speaker 20: the doctors are saying, I couldn't even pay attention to.

2478
01:50:12,560 --> 01:50:15,720
Speaker 20: And everyone was wearing masks, so I was looking at

2479
01:50:15,760 --> 01:50:16,280
Speaker 20: their eyes.

2480
01:50:16,360 --> 01:50:17,800
Speaker 5: It was like I could read the.

2481
01:50:17,800 --> 01:50:21,040
Speaker 20: Concern in their eyes and then sometimes the excitement when

2482
01:50:21,120 --> 01:50:24,200
Speaker 20: things were getting you know, better. But I just knew

2483
01:50:24,240 --> 01:50:28,360
Speaker 20: that every doctor that walked in was there to help us.

2484
01:50:28,400 --> 01:50:30,679
Speaker 20: I knew that they were going to make it their

2485
01:50:30,680 --> 01:50:34,360
Speaker 20: mission to get our daughter better. And then the nurses,

2486
01:50:34,960 --> 01:50:37,680
Speaker 20: I can't live without them through these journeys. I mean

2487
01:50:37,680 --> 01:50:40,320
Speaker 20: they are there to support the families as well as

2488
01:50:40,360 --> 01:50:42,760
Speaker 20: the patience. Obviously, they were there to be in my

2489
01:50:42,840 --> 01:50:44,760
Speaker 20: sounding board to talk it out with me if I

2490
01:50:44,800 --> 01:50:48,120
Speaker 20: didn't understand. One thing that Lurie's does is they create

2491
01:50:48,160 --> 01:50:51,879
Speaker 20: a team that stays with your child their entire journey.

2492
01:50:52,120 --> 01:50:53,479
Speaker 5: Those nurses are a family.

2493
01:50:53,680 --> 01:50:56,799
Speaker 23: We knew the shoes and the bust hands, good people.

2494
01:50:57,080 --> 01:50:58,080
Speaker 4: The doctor's I.

2495
01:50:58,240 --> 01:51:02,360
Speaker 23: Felt economics knowing that she was with that team.

2496
01:51:12,800 --> 01:51:15,599
Speaker 13: She was very happy there. She was very content.

2497
01:51:16,120 --> 01:51:19,000
Speaker 20: Every person that walked by, she gave them the biggest smile.

2498
01:51:20,080 --> 01:51:23,719
Speaker 20: The nurses loved dressing her up and therapy every day.

2499
01:51:24,120 --> 01:51:26,599
Speaker 5: Yeah, so, I mean all the doctors would be like, oh,

2500
01:51:26,640 --> 01:51:28,599
Speaker 5: we walked by this room just to get a smile

2501
01:51:28,640 --> 01:51:29,240
Speaker 5: from that girl.

2502
01:51:29,400 --> 01:51:32,440
Speaker 20: She loves dancing, singing princesses.

2503
01:51:33,280 --> 01:51:37,120
Speaker 5: She's really into Frozen, and she loves books.

2504
01:51:37,240 --> 01:51:37,760
Speaker 16: She wants to.

2505
01:51:37,760 --> 01:51:39,880
Speaker 5: Sit on everyone's lap and read a book.

2506
01:51:40,200 --> 01:51:42,880
Speaker 20: It's because she was so well taken care of that

2507
01:51:42,960 --> 01:51:46,080
Speaker 20: she she just thrived while she waited.

2508
01:51:47,680 --> 01:51:51,040
Speaker 4: Man the amazing story, greta incredible story. Two hundred and

2509
01:51:51,120 --> 01:51:53,880
Speaker 4: twenty five days she was in the hospital at Lurie

2510
01:51:53,960 --> 01:51:56,559
Speaker 4: Children's where we are right now, waiting for a heart

2511

Speaker 4: for her heart transplant, three and a half years old.

2512
01:51:58,320 --> 01:52:00,160
Speaker 4: She's doing great now. I'm looking at her mom. Her

01:52:07,880 --> 01:52:09,880
Speaker 4: And I just heard her tell Beyonce Fox that she

2517
01:52:10,000 --> 01:52:12,720
Speaker 4: listens to Beyonce Fox ever since it's a lot. It's

2518
01:52:12,760 --> 01:52:15,080
Speaker 4: a lot. I know. She said we were her favorite,

2519
01:52:15,600 --> 01:52:18,760
Speaker 4: but he's a hustler. I mean, got got.

2520
01:52:18,960 --> 01:52:21,320
Speaker 5: It's okay. She's getting a bag for the kids at Laurie.

2521
01:52:21,520 --> 01:52:23,360
Speaker 4: That's yeah, that's it. You know, it doesn't really matter.

2522
01:52:23,960 --> 01:52:27,040
Speaker 4: Triple eight eight three one seven seven three three and

2523
01:52:27,439 --> 01:52:34,280
Speaker 4: only fifteen more donations needed the twenty dollars a month level,

2524
01:52:34,880 --> 01:52:38,439
Speaker 4: so the Canadian Pacific will match fifteen thousand dollars, so

2525
01:52:38,520 --> 01:52:42,120
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not real good at math, but so far,

2526
01:52:42,280 --> 01:52:43,880
Speaker 4: just in the matches, I think we've done almost one

2527
01:52:43,960 --> 01:52:46,479
Speaker 4: hundred thousand dollars just in that's just the matches. So

2528
01:52:46,600 --> 01:52:49,559
Speaker 4: that's that's two hundred thousand, I mean, hundreds of thousands

2529
01:52:49,600 --> 01:52:52,000

2622
01:56:48,360 --> 01:56:51,320

2623
01:56:51,360 --> 01:56:53,240

2624
01:56:53,280 --> 01:56:56,800
