Dear Friends,
Everywhere you look at Children’s Hospital of Michigan (CHM) you can see
where a donor has touched the lives of our young patients. Whether you are
standing in the lobby, walking through the halls, visiting patient rooms, or touring
research labs – it is there. Commitment to making a difference. Commitment to
better health. Commitment to finding new ways to treat and cure illnesses and
diseases. Commitment locally, statewide, nationally and globally, the positive impact
originating from Children’s Hospital of Michigan.
So much of what we do and would like to do is dependent on you – friends
of Children’s Hospital of Michigan. Very soon, I will be sharing with you an
exciting announcement that will dramatically impact the services we provide
and how you are an important part of this news. How your commitment has
supported our efforts over the years and how it will now take us to new
heights in pediatric health care is critical.
In this Donor Appreciation issue of the About Children’s, you will read about the many donors who support
CHM, about a lifesaving neurological surgical procedure developed here at CHM, summer safety tips, what a shift
might be like for a pediatric intensive care nurse and who a few of the new leaders are.
THANK YOU to all of the donors who so unselfishly give of their time and resources to help these young
patients. Your commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of young children now and in the future
is immeasurable.

magine your baby is screaming in pain 24 hours a day, week
after week. The family pediatrician examines her over and
over, but repeatedly finds nothing wrong. “You’re just overreacting,” he says. “Babies cry. That’s what they do.”
Cheryl and Jim Morabito of Clinton Township don’t need to imagine it.
They lived it.
In February 2001, Cheryl and Jim welcomed their second daughter, Julia,
into the world. From the beginning, they knew something was wrong.
“She cried and cried non-stop,” says Cheryl. “We brought her to the
doctor and he kept telling us she had colic, but our other daughter had
colic and we knew this was something else.”
Still, the Morabitos trusted the physician and followed his treatment
recommendations. But nothing helped. The crying went on for months.
Then little Julia began vomiting and having tremors. The doctor again
said nothing was seriously wrong with the 9-month-old girl. A blood test
and urinalysis revealed no problems.
“He called us at home and said, ‘Nothing is wrong with your baby and
I’m not doing any more tests,’” Cheryl says.
At that point, Cheryl and Jim called another pediatrician, but couldn’t
get an appointment for six weeks. “I was crying and I told the nurse on the
phone that I didn’t think my daughter had six weeks,” Cheryl says.
The nurse suggested she take Julia to the Emergency Department at
Children’s Hospital of Michigan. Within moments of arriving at Children’s
Hospital, nurses took Julia from her mother’s arms and rushed the crying
baby to an exam room.
“They were examining her before they’d even asked me if I had
insurance,” Cheryl says.
An hour later, Emergency Department physicians knew why Julia had
been crying all her life. It appeared she had hydrocephalus, which can
be extremely difficult to diagnose. Hydrocephalus is a condition where
there is an excess build-up of fluid on the brain – and for baby Julia, it
was causing excruciating, migraine-like pain. Doctors scheduled surgery for
the next morning to insert a shunt and drain the fluid from her brain.
“I was a wreck,” Cheryl says. “I was terrified because something was
seriously wrong with my child, but I was also very relieved that someone
was finally doing something to help her.”
The next morning Sandeep Sood, M.D., a neurosurgeon at
Children’s Hospital, examined Julia in preparation for the scheduled shunt procedure.
“We looked at the CT scan and it didn’t look quite right. It
didn’t fit the bill for simple hydrocephalus,” Dr. Sood says. “It
seemed that she might have a cyst in the fluid chamber obstructing
the flow of fluid.”
Dr. Sood ordered an ultrasound of Julia’s head. His suspicions
were confirmed; she had a golf-ball sized cyst in the third ventricle.
While most neurosurgeons at the time were treating cysts like
Julia’s with shunt placement, Dr. Sood was pioneering an innovative procedure that had the potential for fewer side effects, less risk
and better outcomes. Using an endoscope – a surgical instrument
about the size of a ball point pen refill – Dr. Sood was able to drain
the cyst and then use heat from a special device to shrink it. This
prevented the cyst from refilling with fluid and allowed the excess
fluid on Julia’s brain to drain off naturally.
“This new procedure offers many advantages,” Dr. Sood says.
“Shunts have a tendency to get plugged up and then you have to
go back in. Many children require repeated surgeries with shunts.”
Julia was just the seventh child to have this new procedure.
Dr. Sood later published a journal article outlining the many
advantages of the procedure. Since then, neurosurgeons at other
hospitals have adopted his technique.
Today, Julia is a healthy and extremely bright 5-year-old girl.
Not even in kindergarten yet, she already knows how to read.
Her mom says she loves riding her bike almost as much as taking
tap dancing lessons.
“She is my miracle child. I really believe she wouldn’t be here
today if it weren’t for Children’s Hospital and Dr. Sood,” Cheryl
says. “I thank God every day that we brought her to Children’s
Hospital. I just wish we’d brought her there sooner.”

Patrick Kelly: New V. P. Development
and Executive Director CHM Foundation
atrick Kelly has only been on the job for a few months,
but he already knows that being the new vice president of
development and executive director of the CHM Foundation
is the perfect fit for him. Kelly, who formerly worked for The Wall Street
Journal and Dow Jones in advertising and marketing and spent five years
in Singapore, brings with him an impressive list of credentials as he also
helped form the board for the McCarty Cancer Foundation nine years ago.
“That opened up the whole new world of nonprofit to me,” says Kelly
who comes to CHM from the Van Andel Institute, a bio-medical research
center in Grand Rapids, were he was vice president of development and
communications. “A wonderful set of circumstances brought me to
Children’s,” says Kelly. “I came here and met Dr. Gray and we talked passionately about the future of CHM. I admire the great work being done here and
feel that Children’s is one of the greatest assets of Southeast Michigan.”
Kelly says some of the future plans for CHM in addition to developing
financial support, is to enhance the facility to insure that “we
continue to provide the best care based on the latest research
and technology.”
He also cites the quality of staff at CHM as one of its
greatest strengths. “It’s not unusual to meet staff members who
have been here 20 to 30 years. It’s a special place, and Children’s
becomes part of your life. It gets in your blood,” he says. “People
here are committed to really providing quality care and to
making sure that the total experience for both the patients and
their families is a good one. To be in that environment provides
nourishment in terms of motivating everyone.”
He also appreciates the support from the community for
Children’s, which he says is most deserving. “When someone
tries to help, we can’t say thank you enough.” And to show the
gratitude he says the staff at Children’s “do a wonderful job every
single day with humility and modesty. It’s an amazing experience
just to be a part of that,” Kelly says. “The hospital is 120 years
old this year but the next 100 years promises to be even more
exciting for the hospital, its staff and the families we serve.”
Born in Detroit, Kelly grew up in Grosse Pointe and lives
in Birmingham now with his wife, Janie, and four sons, Patrick,
Charlie, Sean and Jack.
Lifelong Detroiter Always
Planned to Give
Imaging
on J. Simonds was a lifelong Detroiter who never forgot what it was like to struggle with a serious illness during childhood. He passed away in December 2005 at
83, leaving behind a substantial gift for Children’s Hospital of Michigan.
“He absolutely loved kids,” says Karen Eggleston, D.D.S., a Southfield dentist and one of
Don Simonds’ five children. “I think he understood what sick children are going through
and wanted to help in any way he could.”
According to Dr. Eggleston, her father’s childhood experiences and his love for children,
including his 12 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren, likely influenced his decision
to include Children’s Hospital of Michigan in his estate plans.
As a boy in the 1920s, Don Simonds drew cars on scraps of paper and played with them
for hours; his family was too poor to buy a toy car. Then in 1938, at age 16, he was hospitalized with tuberculosis and missed two years of school.
“He always had a special place in his heart for children,” Dr. Eggleston says. “He had a
real soft touch with kids.”
Mr. Simonds set up his planned gift to Children’s Hospital more than 20 years ago. He
also gave sizable gifts to other local hospitals and a foster care program for Detroit children.
Despite his childhood challenges, Mr. Simonds graduated from Cass High School in
Detroit and later attended college at the University of Detroit. His education and lifelong
thirst for knowledge eventually led to a successful career in financial planning.
“He was a voracious reader. He read anything and everything about finance and other subjects,” Dr. Eggleston says. “His personal library had more than 3,000 books and periodicals.”
When Mr. Simonds retired at age 79 after 37 years as a financial
advisor, his client list included more than 5,000 metro Detroit residents.
“His clients really trusted him and respected his advice,” Dr.
Eggleston says. “He always encouraged his clients to call him anytime – day or night – and they did. Even after he retired, his former
clients would call him for advice.”
Mr. Simonds’ generous gift will support Child Life Services at
Children’s Hospital of Michigan to help reduce the stress and anxiety that children and their families may encounter during a hospital
visit. Through Mr. Simonds’ generosity, Child Life staff will continue to provide play and learning opportunities, such as reading, that
encourage normal growth and development for young people.
If you would like to include Children’s Hospital of Michigan in
your estate plans or have already done so, please contact Jodi Wong
in the Development Office at (313) 745-5855.

Caring Pairing: Chief and Diane
Schuler Share a Special Bond
t was love at first sight. She fell immediately for his big brown eyes and his easygoing
nature. He loved her gentle and caring demeanor and the fact that she carried a fanny
pack stocked with liver treats.
Six years ago, Diane Schuler found herself without a dog for the first time in her life and set out
to find a new canine companion. Knowing that she wanted her next dog to do pet therapy, she started
her search with the Golden Retriever Rescue of Michigan (GRRoM). Chief, 5 years old at the time,
was the first dog she saw. “I just knew the moment I saw him that he was the one,” said Schuler.
Chief’s previous owners had given him up to be put to sleep after he was hit by a car. Instead,
the Humane Society called GRRoM and they decided to treat his injuries and put him up for adoption. “When I went to see him,” said Schuler, “it was like we had known each other forever.” With a
little bit of training for Schuler and Chief, a pet therapy duo was born. “Chief excelled in obedience
classes. In fact, he scored higher than I did,” admits Schuler.
Pet therapy began at Children’s Hospital of Michigan on the surgical unit about 20 years ago and
has expanded to other areas of the hospital. A visit from one of 15 cold-nosed specialists has become
an eagerly awaited respite from the pokes and prods that come with a hospital stay.
“The kids love it,” says Schuler, who is both a pet therapy volunteer and the program coordinator for the inpatient rehab unit. “It’s a chance for them to take their minds off how they’re feeling,
whether it’s sadness from not being home, or actual pain. The dogs represent normalcy amid an
abnormal situation,” Schuler says, “and they just seem to know instinctively
when someone needs special attention.”
Schuler recalls one day when three generations from one family
spotted Chief as they waited for a ride. After the kids fussed over him
for awhile, he padded over to the grandmother and laid his head in her
lap. “The woman said she was scheduled for heart surgery the following
week,” Schuler says, “and she began voicing her fears. Chief made her
feel comfortable.” Schuler says she has even seen reactions from children in comas.
“All I do is bring Chief in to see the kids,” says Schuler, “yet I
get so much happiness out of each visit. To see a child’s unbridled
joy when Chief walks into a room is just amazing.”
Chief’s innate ability to comfort people has even
been recognized nationally. In 2004, Schuler entered
him in Golden Rescue and Community Excellence
(G.R.A.C.E.) competition and he won the award
for Animal Assisted Therapy. “Chief and I flew to California to accept the award,” said Schuler. “I’m so proud
of him for winning the award, for everything
he has done at Children’s and for just being such a
cool dog. He’s my best friend.”
Chief wags his tail in agreement, as he eyes that
fanny pack full of treats.

Students Have a Knack for
Raising Money to Help Kids

Korte and her classmates at Pardee Elementary School in Dearborn
Heights have a future in fundraising. For several years, the students raised
money for causes that help children. The last couple years they decided to
help Children’s Hospital of Michigan, generating more than $7,000 for games, toys
and books for hospital patients and their siblings. The books, in fact, went to the
hospital’s Phyllis Colburn Library.
“I like helping other kids less fortunate than I am,” says Hannah, who is a sixth
grader this year at O.W. Best Middle School.
Cathy Korte, Hannah’s mom, and Pardee students organized a walkathon
last year and the year before on the neighboring high school track. They
collected pledges from friends and family based on how many miles they
walked. Hannah was the top fundraiser bringing in about $700 in pledges
each year.
“I push her a little, but this is something she is good at,” Cathy says.
“She wants to give back.”
Hannah initiated a spaghetti dinner fundraiser at her middle school this year to
raise money for a double lung transplant for one of her teacher’s adult children.
Pardee has been having annual fundraisers for 11 years. Early on, students raised
money for playground equipment and other school improvements. But it shifted its
focus to children helping children several years ago. Other organizations were
beneficiaries until the Korte’s
suggested they make Children’s
a beneficiary.
Why Children’s? “When my
brother was first born, he ended up
there,” said Cathy Korte. “They
saved his life. They have been an
awesome part of my life and my
brother’s life ever since. This year,
he’s going to be 38.”

FedEx Committed to Giving Back
to the Community it Serves
osting Super Bowl XL in Detroit this past February was exciting
enough, but even more thrilling for Children’s Hospital of Michigan
was the generous donation through FedEx Operation Special Delivery
of $25,000 to buy a new ventilator for the hospital’s intensive-care unit.
The contribution was all part of the FedEx “Air and Ground NFL Players of
the Year” awards.
Which is all well and good. But for the several dozen young patients who
attended the event when the check was presented to CHM President Herman
Gray, the real draws were NFL stars Peyton Manning of the Indianapolis Colts,
and Boomer Esiason, the retired quarterback celebrated for his years with the
Cincinnati Bengals.
At the hour-long event in the CHM auditorium, Manning
gave instructions in proper passing technique, and the kids worked
on decorating helmets and t-shirts, which they presented to him
and Esiason. The two stars then signed autographs and posed for
innumerable photographs with children and their parents.
“Since Detroit was the host of the Super Bowl,” says FedEx
spokesman Ryan Furby, “we thought it would be nice to present
the awards, or at least announce them, at Children’s Hospital of
Michigan. And that’s when we donated the $25,000.” For the
past two years during football season, FedEx has invited fans to
vote on their website (fedexfootball.com) for the outstanding
passing and running players of the week. The delivery firm then
donates $5,000 to the children’s hospital in the hometowns of
those players.

Over the last two years, FedEx has given almost $500,000 to
children’s hospitals nationwide.
Top vote-getters over the course of the season win the Players of
the Year award – which this year went to Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer, who led the NFL with 32 touchdown passes, and
Seattle Seahawks running back Shaun Alexander, who set a league
record with 28 touchdowns.
The program, says Furby, is part and parcel of the company’s
commitment to give back to the communities it serves.
“It’s important for our employees to know that we’re giving to
their hometowns,” he says. “It’s just as important for them
as it is for the children.”

Thomas Gordon readily admits that some of the most satisfying accomplishments of her career so far have been getting
people to achieve goals they did not think were possible. “I call them
BHAGs, Big Hairy Audacious Goals,” she adds. “And you can have
them for even the most mundane jobs.”
Gordon points to her last position at Shands AGH (Alachua General
Hospital) in Gainesville, Fla. She was trying to get employees to focus on
goals related to supply expense management. Since the project involved
materials management, she named the campaign M&M. The colorful
candy and M&M candy holders rewarded employee progress. She even
dressed up like an M&M to publicize the hospital wide effort. “I like to
make it the best fun you can, even for the less exciting efforts,” she says.
She hopes to create enthusiasm for her goals at Children’s. “I’m goal oriented to a fault,” she adds.
An avid reader, she started a
business book club at Shands.
The group would choose a business
book a month and meet in a hospital conference room for discussion.
“Most people don’t read business
books, so this was a fun way to get
them reading and talking about
business trends.”
Gordon says she wants to step
up value with cost, quality and
service initiatives at Children’s.
“We are doing so many things
well and my hope is to continue
in that same direction.”
She also believes in helping
employees prosper. “I want to
make sure they feel valued and
are recognized for the things they
do well,” she says. “I hope to give
them the tools they need to learn
more. We have a tuition reimbursement program here so I will
encourage further education
through advanced degrees and certification.”
The Hendersonville, N.C., native plans to continue the hospital’s
emphasis on family-centered care and patient-customer satisfaction. But
she would like to incorporate some of the tenets of the Planetree model,
which advocates caring for the whole person…body, mind and spirit.

Pediatric Intensive Care
Nursing - Night Shift
'
Ethan with Beth Voyles, R.N.,
C.P.N.
rom the time she was a young girl, Beth Voyles says she has always wanted to
be a nurse. Now, as a pediatric intensive care nurse for 30 years and for the
past eight years, the night charge nurse in the PICU (pediatric intensive care
unit) at Children’s Hospital of Michigan, it’s a job she loves as much as she loves the
children she cares for.
“When I was young I did a lot of babysitting,” says Voyles who
was Nurse of the Year in 2003, “I’m a natural caretaker. There was
never a doubt in my mind, that this is what I wanted to do.”
As night charge nurse in the PICU she has spent countless eight10- and 12-hour evening shifts tending to very sick children, comforting families, assisting doctors and overseeing a staff of more than a
dozen nurses. She is also president of the local chapter of the Society
of Pediatric Nurses and this year was elected to the National Board of
Pediatric Nurses, a first-ever for a staff nurse.
While at home she has a husband and two grown children, every
night when Voyles starts her shift at CHM, it’s the people in the
PICU that become her family.
That fact was illustrated one rainy evening last November. At 7
p.m., when most families were home sitting around the dinner table,
the PICU nurses were also gathered around a table ready to begin
their shift. Picking at crumbs from the day’s leftover brownies, sipping coffee and energy drinks, the nurses greet each other warmly awaiting shift reports
and patient assignments.
Tonight there is a 5-year-old with viral encephalitis, a 2-year-old with renal failure,
a 15-month-old heart transplant patient and a 15-year-old gunshot victim among the 17
patients in the 20-bed ward. Each nurse from Erica Mininni, a new graduate experiencing
her first PICU shift, to 18-year veteran, Chris Lockhart, is expertly trained and passionately dedicated.
“Every nurse attends only one or two patients a night,” explains Voyles after the shift
report. “It’s very rare that a nurse has more than two sick children at a time and
if the patient is quite sick, there is one nurse there exclusively.”
Five-month-old Ethan Jacobs, newly diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia is
Voyles’ patient this night. Entering his room for the first time, she gets a report from the
day nurses then the doctors enter the room to deliver the diagnosis to Ethan’s parents,
Alicia Jacobs and Alvin Copling of Warren.
“Doctors give you the information but it’s hard to concentrate
on the bad news,” says Copling trying to grasp what the doctors
have said. “You only can take in a little bit of what they’re telling
you.” The doctors leave the room, but it’s Voyles who stays behind
to answer the couple’s questions and offer emotional strength. She
suggests they might want to keep a notebook so they write down
questions and record the medicines and treatment he’s being given.
“It’s hard seeing a sick child; you don’t ever get used to it,” says Voyles after she
leaves the room. “But this is the best place he can be right now. We have to help the
parents, too, we’re not just dealing with the patient but the entire family.”
Voyles is also in charge of the nursing staff in the pediatric cardiac care ward
down the hall so, she makes a few trips down the long corridor to check on things
there as well. Fortunately, it’s a slow night there and she can return to Ethan’s bedside. “I wore a pedometer here one night and clocked nine miles,” she says. “I had
no idea how quickly it adds up.”
As the night gets later, the ward grows quieter. From the room next door, sounds
the steady beep of a heart monitor. Down the hall a little boy watches his Barney
cartoons and you can hear a little girl naming her colors with the encouragement of a nurse and a grandmother.
“The staff here is extremely caring not only for the family and
patients, but for the fellow staffers as well,” says Voyles. “Teamwork is so
essential here, everyone pitches in to help. They care about each other
and that’s why they can care for children.”
Eileen Lucier, a PICU nurse for 13 years, is part of that caring
team who says she loves working at CHM “because I like to work
with kids and the camaraderie here is incredible. It’s not nice to see
children in such bad shape but it’s nice to see them get better,” says
Lucier. And when you can’t make it better? “Then you have to be here
for the family,” she says softly.
“We all have our niches and callings, thank goodness,” says Voyles
nearing the end of the 12-hour shift that thankfully, has been uneventful.
“There’s a certain reward about pediatric nursing. I couldn’t see myself driving
a school bus or teaching a classroom, this is what I was meant to do.” She stops,
then adds, “You know, a child can be so sick and the next thing you know,
they’re coming back to the ward to visit, all smiling and happy. That’s what
really keeps us going.”

physician extenders inside the hospital and the private
attending physicians in the community,” she says. “Secondly, I
see my role as a champion of the high medical standards we all
expect from Children’s Hospital.”
Another important role for the chief of staff: ambassador
of the hospital. Dr. Angelilli says she believes Children’s
Hospital provides the highest quality of pediatric medical
care in the state. As a physician who knows many of the
pediatricians in southeast Michigan, she hopes to
encourage more physicians to refer their patients to
Children’s Hospital of Michigan.
“A long time ago, I made the decision that I would
never work anywhere but in a children’s hospital,” Dr.
Angelilli says. “Everyone here is devoted to taking care
of children – from the doctors and nurses to the X-ray
technicians and respiratory therapists.”
She says it makes a huge difference for patients. “As
a physician, I know the expertise and technology available here is cutting edge. The quality of my physician
colleagues is top notch and the quality of the nurses and
other ancillary personnel here is incredible.”
Jeffrey Devries, M.D. - New Vice
President of Medical Affairs
r. Jeffrey Devries has come full circle. After splitting his career
between the Oakwood Healthcare System and the Henry Ford
Health System, he is the new vice president of medical affairs at
Children’s Hospital of Michigan, where 24 years ago he completed his residency.
“It feels like I’m returning to my medical home,” Devries says. “The
strong spirit and goals of deciding what is good for children are still here.”
Interestingly enough, Children’s Hospital President, Herman Gray, was the
chief resident when Devries was an intern.
The position, which he started in February, puts Devries in charge of
pediatric strategic planning and program development. He plans to
examine the range and quality of services offered at Children’s and find areas
to expand and improve.
“Overall, I hope to enhance the quality of patient care,” says the Oak Park
native. “We have many talented individuals, excellent programs and resources
that we need to make more easily accessible to patients and their families.”
In his last post at Oakwood Hospital, Devries oversaw the initiation and
development of the Program for Exceptional Families, which coordinates care
for families that have children with special
needs. When he was associate chair of the
department of pediatrics at the Henry Ford
Health System, he considers his greatest
accomplishment launching the first program
in the country to bring residents to community-based clinics for educational experience.
“Typically residents train at hospitals,”
he adds.
He is most proud of winning the first
annual “Ray E. Helfer Award for Innovation
in Pediatric Education,” awarded by the
national Ambulatory Pediatric Association
in 1994, and the major roles he has played in
obtaining grants to support development of
Oakwood’s Program for Exceptional Families.
“Although I’m not as involved in direct
patient care in my new role, I like that I can
have an even greater impact by helping design systems that deliver healthcare
to many children,” he says.
Devries has an open-door office policy and welcomes ideas on how to do
things better from those who are closest to health care delivery – patients,
their families, physicians, nurses and therapists.

Outdoor Tips for Water Safety,
Bike Safety and more
Water Safety
• Never allow children to swim unsupervised.
• Know where your children are at all times.
• Use an approved barrier to separate the pool from the house.
• Never allow children to be alone near a pool or any water source.
• Have life-saving devices near the pool, such as a pole/hook or floatation
device.
• Keep large objects such as tables, chairs, toys, and ladders away from pool
fences.
• Post the 9-1-1 number on the phone and have the phone near the pool.
• Do not allow children to play around the pool and store all toys outside the
pool area.
• If you leave the pool area, take the children with you.
• Learn to swim.
• Learn how to properly administer CPR.
• Make sure your pool is fenced on all four sides and is locked when not in use.
• Never swim alone; always use the buddy system.
• Never swim when thunder or lightning is present.
• Never dive into unfamiliar or shallow bodies of water.
• Enter all unfamiliar water feet first.
• Never assume someone else is watching your child. Always have a “designated
child watcher”.
• When staying at a relative or friend’s home, look for possible water hazards (pools, ponds, buckets, bathtubs, toilets, dog bowls, etc.).
• When boating, wear a Coast Guard approved lifejacket.
• If the water is shared by boats, BE VISIBLE: Have your
child wear a bright colored swim cap, stay close to shore
and actively watch for boats and other water craft.

Bike Safety
Each year, almost 600,000 children sustain bicycle-related injuries, and over
90% of bicycle-related deaths involve collisions with motor vehicles. By wearing a
properly fitted bike helmet, a child can reduce the risk of serious brain injury by 85%.
Plan on spending 10-15 minutes to make sure the helmet is snug, level and stable. First,
adjust the fit pads. The pads should touch the head evenly and the helmet should sit level
on the head. Second, adjust the straps. The chin strap should fit snugly and the rim should
be visible when your child looks up. Finally, move the helmet side-to-side. If the skin near your
child’s eyebrows moves with the helmet, he or she is ready to ride.
Pedestrian Safety
Each year 50,000 children are injured while walking. In fact, these trauma-related injuries
remain the most common cause of death for children aged five to nine. Since children cannot
judge the speed or distance of moving cars, all adults should follow these important tips:
• Never allow children under the age of 10 to cross the street alone.
• Be a role model. Practice the same pedestrian safety tips you teach your child.
• Teach kids to obey all street lights and crossing guards. • Never tell your child to cross when you are on the other side of the street. Always cross with your child.
• Stop, look left, look right and look left again to make sure the street is clear.
• Praise your children when directions are followed properly.
Home Alone Safety
During the summer, many parents have no choice but to leave kids home alone.
However, experts say children under the age of 12 should never stay in a house
without adult supervision. If your older children must be left on their own, follow
this important safety information:
• Provide your child with several telephone numbers, such as your work number
and the number of a nearby friend or relative.
• Never allow your child to have friends inside the house without an adult present.
• Have cold snacks and meals prepared and available. • Remind children to keep doors locked at all times, and to never
open the door to strangers.
• Instruct your child not to tell callers he or she is home alone. Tell them
what to say when an adult isn’t home.

Prevention (TRIP) team at (313) 745-1111. The TRIP

Stephanie Savic was a little more than two weeks old when
she was rushed to Children’s Hospital of Michigan after suffering
multiple seizures. Physicians diagnosed her with hemolytic uremic
syndrome, a disorder which resulted in a rapid loss of kidney
function. Stephanie started kidney dialysis, but later developed
congestive heart failure. She remained at Children’s Hospital of
Michigan for treatment of both conditions.
Today Stephanie is a healthy, 17-year-old who enjoys being a
member of the National Honor Society, bowling, volunteering in
the community and tutoring other students. She recently graduated
with highest honors from Divine Child High School in Dearborn
and plans to attend Grand Valley State University in the fall. Both
Stephanie and her parents credit Children’s Hospital of Michigan
with giving her “a second chance” at life.

THEN & NOW
Born with HIV, Ashely Ware has been a Children’s Hospital
of Michigan patient since she was just three days old. But thanks to
expert medical care at Children’s Hospital, she is in excellent health.
“I have more problems with my allergies and sinuses than I do with
my HIV.”
Ashely has seen her share of challenges over the years. Both her
mother and father died of AIDS. “The medical team at Children’s
Hospital are like a second family to me,” she says. “They’ve helped
me through so much.”
Ashely, now 17, is a 2006 graduate of Redford Union
High School. An exceptional student, she will attend the
University of Wisconsin at Madison in the fall to study
business and psychology.

Surgery for a cancerous brain tumor at 11 years old brought Priscilla
Woodliff Wagner relief from the seizures she had. “The surgery did not stop
the seizures; I still require medication to control them. With surgery, chemo, and
radiation, I am free of cancer for 15 years,” says Woodliff Wagner.
Unfortunately, it didn’t end the teasing from peers who viewed her as
“different” because of the brain tumor. “My family, doctors and the staff at
Children’s Hospital stuck by me and helped build my self esteem. They told me
I could overcome anything and made me believe in myself,” states Woodliff Wagner.
Today, a college graduate with a Bachelors degree in Arts and minor in
psychology, Priscilla wants to work with children – possibly at Children’s Hospital and instill in them the same self esteem and confidence she learned from her family
and her adopted “family” at Children’s. “I was blessed to find my husband, William
Wagner, who has been through a lot with me and understands me as a person.” “People take for granted how blessed and lucky they are” states
Priscilla. “I learned that with patience and effort, you can achieve your
goals – I’m the perfect example.”

THEN & NOW
When Destiny Holmes was born premature at 28 weeks, she
weighed 2 pounds, 10 ounces, had bronchopulmonary dysplasia and
a host of neurological problems. “They told me she would never
walk, talk or eat,” says Destiny’s mother, RaShawn. They got it
wrong. Today, Destiny, 10, is in fourth grade at Rainbow Elementary
School in Clinton Township and a Girl Scout. The petite youngster
still has some physical challenges, but RaShawn says the years of
care and support Destiny received from the doctors and nurses
at Children’s Hospital of Michigan have made all the difference.
RaShawn also credits Children’s with helping her learn early on
how to care for Destiny, who had a tracheotomy until two
years ago. “I love Children’s,” Destiny chimes in.

When the medication was used to treat Catherine Matykowski’s
rapid heartbeat (Wolfe Parkinson White Syndrome) stopped working,
she began to have increased fainting spells. “I was diagnosed at age 9
and as I got older my condition worsened,” says Catherine who lives
in Canton. When she was 15, doctors at Children’s Hospital of Michigan
used open heart surgery to eliminate the extra electrical pathway
causing Catherine’s lightheadedness and blackouts. Today at 31,
Catherine, who went on to get her Bachelor of Science degree in
Music at Eastern Michigan University, is employed at Kohl’s as a
visual merchandiser – climbing ladders and dragging about heavy
mannequins. She also works closely with the company’s many fundraising efforts, which ironically, include Festival of Trees. “I am so grateful
to Children’s,” she says. “I love how it all comes back to you.”

Why we give to CHM… Last year
16-year-old Katie Calabro was diagnosed with
ADEM (acute disseminated encephalomyelitis).
To celebrate her complete recovery and the
care she was given at CHM, over 40 families at
their family reunion donated 100 brand new
toys for the patients. “We were so grateful to
the entire staff for giving us more time with
her,” says Katie’s mother, Laura.

THEN & NOW
Paul Tatge is a Shelby Township eighth-grader with Down’s
Syndrome who’s nuts about sports, loves riding his bike, and
roughhousing with his older brother.
Eleven years ago, you might not have put money on his future.
After the left side of his face became paralyzed, Paul was diagnosed
with acute myologenous leukemia, common to children with Down’s.
Paul’s mother, Bonnie, says their CHM experience was a blessing
for frantic parents. “We couldn’t have asked for anything better,”
she says, “and our hematologist was there every step of the way.”
After radiation and chemotherapy at Children’s Hospital
of Michigan, which virtually eliminated a brain mass a bit smaller
than a golf ball, Paul has been in remission since 1995.

Why we give to CHM…We donate because it feels good, and
because it is a worthy cause. Students and parents have commented that
they look forward to shopping each year for the patients. For some, it is
their first exposure to charitable giving.

Several endowments have been established for the benefit of Children's Hospital of Michigan by caring members of our community who share a commitment to improved child health and progressive pediatric medicine. The generosity of these benefactors is greatly appreciated and helps to ensure the hospital’s financial future. Endowment funds are established with a minimum gift of $50,000. A portion of the earned income provides annual support for programs and services vital to the patients in our care; the remaining
income is reinvested to build the fund, creating a lasting legacy for the benefit of generations to come. The following is a list of our current endowments:

Joan Kelley of Allen Park has worked at Children’s Hospital of Michigan (CHM) for 12 years
“and I love every minute of it,” says the nurse on 5 West. In appreciation, for the past 12 years
the busy mother of two donates a week of unused vacation time to the hospital as part of
CHM’s Labor of Love Campaign. The time translates to dollars to be used to buy equipment or
wherever needed. “I have always wanted to give back,” says Kelley. “I know the money will be
put to good use.” Kelley says the reward is seeing a staff that supports each other and works
together to make sick children well. “It sends a positive message to everyone,” she says. “I do it
because I love children and I truly believe in Children’s Hospital. I just wish I could do more.”

Fred Pischke Sr.
Memorial Golf Outing
hen DTE electric supervisor Fred Pischke Sr., died in a tragic accident
on the job 11 years ago, his family and co-workers were shocked and
saddened. At the time, Fred’s five-year-old granddaughter, Stephanie
Cislo, had been diagnosed with cancer, specifically PNET or Primative Neuro
Echodermal Tumor in her right shoulder and after surgery was undergoing radical
chemotherapy and radiation at Children’s Hospital of Michigan.
After Fred’s death, friend and co-worker, Tom Labo, coordinated a golf event
to raise money in Fred’s name for CHM. “Stephanie was the light of my dad’s life
and Tom’s idea was so wonderful,” says Fred Jr., “Dad died helping someone else,
so this was especially meaningful.”
Since that first event in 1996, the Fred Pischke Sr. Memorial Golf Outing has
raised $58,000 for the oncology department and has gone directly to purchase
much-needed equipment such as a microscope and computer.
This year’s event will be held in September at the West Shore Golf &
Country Club in Grosse Ile and more than 120 DTE employees, including
Pischke’s family and friends are expected to turn out. Event details to follow.
Fred’s Granddaughter – Stephanie Cislo
According to her mother, Kim Cislo, today she’s a lively and active 16-yearold who enjoys playing volleyball and fast-pitch softball and is on the varsity
pompon squad at Gabriel Richard High School in Riverview. “Her heart was
damaged from the chemotherapy and she does have limitations,” says Kim.
For instance, she can’t run or she’d be playing basketball, too. It was such
a horrible time for us, but Children’s was wonderful. We go back to visit the
cardiology and oncology department every year and Stephanie will also help
out with the dinner after the golf event,” says Kim.
“My dad was her guardian angel and this is such a wonderful way to honor
him and contribute to Children’s Hospital. If it can save one life, it matters.”

Toast for Tykes
are young
‘‘ These
people...They
are our future
community
leaders. It’s
exciting to
have them
on our team.
’’
– Suzanne Chandler
even years ago, four buddies – from the Class of 1993 at Bloomfield Hills’
Brother Rice High School – decided to throw a holiday bash. To give
the event a little extra punch, they charged $5 a head, and donated the proceeds
to a children’s charity.
That’s how Toast for Tykes was born. That first year, they raised $1,200.
Things have mushroomed. Last year, Toast for Tykes’ Christmas gala raised $45,000,
which the group donated to support childhood leukemia research at Children’s Hospital of
Michigan.
Says one of the founders, Ajay Chawla – the group’s “president and janitor,” to hear him
tell it – “We’ve always said we wanted to give back to the people who support us.”
And that’s how CHM got involved. The son of one of the group’s
supporters was diagnosed last August with leukemia and has
undergone treatment at Children’s.
“We’ve had such a great time doing this with Children’s,”
says Chawla, “that we’ve talked about making it long term
and every year doing something different – this year it’s
leukemia research, then maybe money to build a toy
room, and perhaps the following year bone-disease
research. We want to vary it.”
Naturally, hospital officials couldn’t be more
pleased. “It’s reassuring to see this generation so
actively involved,” Suzanne Chandler CHM
major gift officer says. “These are young
people – mostly around 30 years old – and
just launching families and careers. They are
our future community leaders. It’s exciting to
have them on our team.”
Toast for Tykes meteoric growth delights
and still rather astonishes Chawla. “To go
from the Berkley Front to the Townsend
Hotel is a bit of a change,” he says, and
laughs. “That’s what happens when you
assemble an amazing team, support a worthy
cause, and throw a great party!”

site at www.toastfortykes.org.
