welcome
As the leaves start to change, we all take steps towards enjoying a beautiful fall and the coming of winter. For some of us the changing of the seasons isn’t as welcome at the end of the year as when the spring flowers emerge, but when you work with children who are in need of your care and concern you are always reminded of how blessed we all are each and every day. So let’s celebrate! In this issue of Hero, you’re going to find an abundance of reasons to
celebrate. Between the stories of the many things that have been accomplished are stories about the things to come, and all are substantial in the realm of children’s health and wellness. You’ll find stories about people and organizations who truly understand how fortunate they
are and want to help change the world through their support of children’s health. This includes people like Otto Koentopp who left a legacy in his will for no other reason than his concern for the wellbeing of children to great companies like Astral Radio whose whole team of professionals was literally on scene at the hospital for the Caring for Kids Radio Broadcast. We owe these people, and so many more, our deepest gratitude for their support. This issue also offers us the opportunity to share our news about the next major fundraising drive. To say it’s critical to have critical care seems redundant, but have a read and put yourself in the shoes of a parent waiting in an intensive care unit for their baby or child to return from surgery. We’re sure that after you read the page 4 article on critical care that you’ll be as excited as we are about this opportunity to contribute. The Foundation has committed to raise $4.2 million this year for this project alone. It’s an amazing series of initiatives in one package called critical care and we’re looking forward to watching it come into being. It’s going to be a very busy fall and winter for us. We hope you’ll stay informed about what is being accomplished for our kids by tapping into Facebook or Twitter or signing up for our e-newsletter. However you decide to get the news, we can guarantee it’s going to include updates on each blessing we have come to appreciate—our Heroes.

In the few minutes it took them to drive from home to the emergency at the Stollery, Jacob’s ear area and face had ballooned with swelling. “It happened so fast,” added Janna. At the Stollery doctors checked a CT scan and told the family that the infection was serious and Jacob would need surgery. Surgeons made a hole in the ear drum to drain the infection and then kept Jacob in care for several days until they were sure the infection hadn’t spread. “They were concerned about mastoiditis, an infection in the ear. As a nurse, I know that’s serious so when they took every possible precaution and kept Photo courtesy: Christy Dean

10 years, from the Hospital’s official opening in 2001, more than 7,000 volunteers have put in more than 20,000 hours of time to help with everything from building decorations, stuffing envelopes, monitoring silent auctions to answering phones. There are too many roles to name, but each one helps the Foundation continue to create a centre of excellence at the Stollery. The tables were turned and it was time for the volunteers to become the guests and to relax and enjoy the afternoon. For this year’s celebration the volunteers had a chance to try their hand at their very own mini- golf course, which was set up with a hole

Layne signs her donation cheque to the Stollery
When our youngest daughter Amity was three days old she was admitted to the Stollery. She had a high fever and the physicians weren’t sure what was wrong. Over the three days we were in the Stollery Children’s Hospital I was so thankful for the care that she received and the support that was available to our family. In the end, it turned out to be a virus and we were able to go home within a few days. It is comforting to know that this level of care exists in our city. I asked Layne how she felt about doing something special to help others on her birthday . . . she smiled and said, “good . . .the kids at the hospital need toys.”
