Baby Nate’s First Birthday!

Fin : 31 janvier 2019

Nate was born January 26, 2018 and immediately taken to the NICU at Mount Sinai in a Toronto. He would stay there for 23 days, before being transferred to SickKids where he would spend 5 additional weeks. Nate was diagnosed with Severe Combined Immunodeficiency and underwent a Bone Marrow Transplant at 4 months old, and remained in hospital for 5 weeks during this time. He was readmitted one week after discharge for a kindney infection which required him to stay nearby and receive medication via IV for 6 additional weeks. During this time, Nate and his mom stayed at the Ronald McDonald House. The hospitality received there was second to none. Meals, free laundry, support and best of all, being able to have Nate’s big brothers and Dad visit to get to know Nate during such an important time in his life and development. After 213 days in the house, Nate was discharged home but goes back to visit once a month during his SickKids appointments.
