Meet Emerson

(April 2025) – Emerson was born at Holy Cross Hospital but was transferred to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles because he had a whistling sound in his heart. Immediately after being transferred, the medical team planned to operate on his heart since one of his valves would not shut. However, the doctors decided to wait and to prescribe medication instead.

After some time, the valve closed by itself. Unfortunately, the doctors found problems in his respiratory system and diagnosed him with respiratory failure called Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia Organ Acute Disease. Due to this complication, Emerson has been hospitalized since birth.

Emerson and his family were recently approved to receive a grant from Miracles for Kids towards their monthly car payment. This has helped them secure transportation to critically-needed doctor appointments and treatments.

Emerson’s family is extremely grateful for the help they are receiving from Miracles for Kids and especially wishes to thank those who donate to help families like theirs.
