Special care for children, when and where they need us.This year, CHKD continues to expand to meet

the healthcare demands of every child who

needs our care.

We’ve opened two new health centers. One, on

Butler Farm Road in Hampton, offers sports medicine rehabilitation;

physical, occupational and speech therapy; lab and X-ray services.

The other, in the Harbour View North area of Suffolk, offers access to

pediatric specialists. We opened a new CHKD Medical Group pediatric

practice, Premier Pediatrics, in the Hilltop area of Virginia Beach in July.

And, by year’s end, we will open the region’s only urgent care center,

just for children and teens. The first CHKD Urgent Care location will

open in the Greenbrier area of Chesapeake and operate after hours

– meaning afternoons, evenings and weekends when your doctor’s

office is closed. Our second location, inside our Oyster Point Health and

Surgery Center, will open in 2015.

We have welcomed new pediatricians to CHKD Medical Group, new

specialists to Children’s Specialty Group, and a pediatric neurosurgeon,

orthopedic surgeon and craniofacial surgeon to CHKD Surgical Group.

And we’ve launched a new website with links to MyCHKD which offers

parents secure online access to their children’s medical records.

Our ability to meet the special healthcare needs of children is possible

only with your donations. As we continue to grow, we hope you will

continue to provide support that enables us to care for the children in

our community, when and where they need us.

alerie and Bo Foley were just beginning to share the exciting news of her pregnancy when results from an

ultrasound revealed that their baby had a rare birth defect. Valerie was referred to the maternal fetal medicine program at EVMS to coordinate with CHKD for immediate access to our neonatal intensive care unit and pediatric surgeons. As the reality of their overwhelming diagnosis began to set in, Valerie chronicled her young family’s experiences in a blog she called, “The Amazing Adventures of Claire Bear.” The following excerpts from her blog offer a glimpse into the Norfolk family’s medical journey as it unfolded.

Isn’t she cute?

My First blog postFebruary 28, 2013Meet Claire, a.k.a. Claire Bear, who is set to join our family in May of 2013.

Most of our friends and family know about Claire’s impending arrival, but until now, we have only told a few about her condition.

On November 6, 2012, we learned that Claire would be born with a condition known as an omphalocele.

The word that took me a while to be able to pronounce, and even longer to spell. An omphalocele is a rare birth defect that arises when the abdominal wall does not close properly during fetal development. As a result, some organs develop outside the abdomen within the umbilical cord. Claire’s omphalocele most likely contains her bowel and possibly some of her liver. She will need surgery after she’s born, so we were referred to the pediatric surgeons at CHKD. We’ll do our best to keep loved ones up-to-date.

Meeting Claire’s SurgeonMarch 25We’ve had MANY appointments since we learned of Claire’s diagnosis, including a recent consultation with the neonatologist, Dr. Kenneth Tiffany, at CHKD. I had no idea what a neonatologist was before our

appointment, but essentially, Dr. Tiffany will be in charge of Claire’s overall care while she’s in the NICU. Both Bo and I really like Dr. Tiffany. Today was the all-important consultation with CHKD pediatric surgeon, Dr. Frazier Frantz.

Bo and I were extremely comforted by him – from his demeanor to his extensive knowledge and everything in between. There have been four other babies with omphaloceles born in Hampton Roads in the last two years, and Dr. Frantz was the surgeon for three of them.

So we know Claire willbe in extremely experienced hands.

Page 9: CHKD Kidstuff, Fall 2014

FALL 2014 7

Meet Claire Bear.

We learned that there are two ways to repair an omphalocele: through surgery to put the organs into the abdomen soon after birth, or a process called “paint and wait” where you keep the omphalocele medicated and wrapped to give the baby’s abdomen a chance to grow before closure a few months later. The general thought is that Claire will not have surgery right away. This could all change but Dr. Frantz has given us tremendous confidence going forward, despite the fact that there are still a lot of unknowns.

april ShowerMay 7

Claire’s arrival May 16Claire was born at 9:18 a.m. via C-section. She weighed 8 lbs., 4 oz., and was 21.25 inches long.

She cried within seconds of birth, and it was the best sound EVER.

Seriously, I know that sounds trite, but a lot of omphalocele babies are born with underdeveloped lungs ... so Claire’s wail meant that she was already ahead of the game.

Week one May 22

Claire is pretty much taking care of things on her own - all of her nurses and doctors, including the amazing Dr. Frantz, have been impressed with her progress.

Claire’s omphalocele contains a part of her liver and a part of her bowel. Although it is considered “giant” due to the presence of the liver, it is actually quite small in comparison to the rest of her abdomen. I think Bo put it best when he compared it to a cue ball. About three-quarters of Claire’s omphalocele was covered with skin at birth, which is GREAT considering that most omphalocele babies just have a membrane covering it -- which is subject to rupture.

home Sweet home May 23

Claire was discharged today, exactly one week after she was born. Every day has been an unparalleled joy as she continues to amaze us at each turn. Dr. Frantz taught us how to apply ointment and gauze to Claire’s omphalocele and an ACE bandage for compression. This will help gently keep her organs in place until surgery.

Month two July 3

Dr. Frantz is the epitome of calm, therefore we were happily surprised when, upon seeing Claire’s abdomen, Dr. Frantz pulled out his cell phone and asked if he could take a picture. He was extremely happy with both the amount of skin coverage and how much the omphalocele has reduced in size.

Month threeAugust 7Claire had her third appointment with Dr. Frantz since her release from the NICU. As always, it was very positive.

Bo and I walked away feeling extremely optimistic for the coming months.

The omphalocele is now 100 percent covered in skin, and we are looking at closure surgery when Claire is around 6 months old.

Month FourSeptember 9

Our little Bear is getting bigger and bigger every day! She enjoys playing on her playmat and sitting in her bouncy chair. Our next appointment with Dr. Frantz is October 9th when we will be scheduling the date for her surgery. While I am excited that Claire will be having her closure surgery, I am nervous all the same.

I know Claire will be in the wonderful care of Dr. Frantz and the rest of the amazing CHKD staff. I’m probably not doing a very good job of explaining how I feel, but suffice to say that all my fears are pushed aside whenever I look at her precious face.

Month FiveOctober 9

Claire’s surgery is scheduled for next week. During the surgery, Dr. Frantz will be making an incision right in the middle of Claire’s omphalocele, cutting out existing scar tissue. After pushing her liver and bowels back into her abdominal cavity, he will stretch her rectus abdominus muscle (her “abs”) and close her abdomen. We should expect Claire to be in the hospital for a couple of days, mainly for pain management. At that point, she should have some good scar tissue forming that will assist with the recovery.

Surgery Day October 16

The surgery lasted almost exactly 90 minutes, but it felt like forever. Dr. Frantz once again provedhow fantastic he is when, instead of sending out a nurse or resident, he came to the waiting room himself. Not surprisingly, things went better than expected. You’d think we would know by now how much of a fighter our daughter is! Dr. Frantz discovered that Claire actually had extra fascia (connective tissue) tucked under her sternum, which he was able to use to close the hernia, along with her “ab” muscles. Dr. Frantz could not stress enough how beneficial our compression wrapping had been – allowing Claire’s liver and bowels to easily slide into place.

post-SurgeryNovember 6

Exactly one year ago today, Bo and I were sitting in the doctor’s office hearing the word “omphalocele” for the very first time and realizing that our world was about to be turned upside down.

If you told me then that we would be where we are now, I would have laughed at you. I am at a loss for words thinking of all the miracles we have experienced over the past 12 months.

Month SixNovember 19Our Claire Bear turned 6 months old on Saturday. She has continued to have a fantastic recovery since we have been home.

Except for the scar, you can’t even tell that Claire had major surgery less than a month ago. I’m going to end this post with a picture of Claire’s “new” stomach for those who would like to see it. She does have a little extra skin around her incision but we expect that to

start to disappear as she grows. Dr. Frantz did say that it could be fixed later, but we think she is beautiful just the way she is.

a new yearJanuary 2, 2014I hope everyone’s year is off to a wonderful start.

When we first learned about Claire’s omphalocele, I never once imagined that she would already be where she is today. Thank you again to all of you for being on this journey with us, for all your well wishes, prayers, and support. We couldn’t have come this far without you.

I know that, for us, 2013 started as a year of unknowns and uncertainties, but it ended as a year full of amazement and miracles.

FALL 2014 11

When Hennglise Dorival first arrived at CHKD in April, she wore a scarf to veil most of her face. When speaking Haitian Creole, her native language, she was barely audible. Yet, just months later, the 16-year-old has a new

confidence and new goals for the future. “I want to be a nurse,” she says, her radiant smile a testament to her courage and to the medical community that came to her rescue. Hennglise’s journey to CHKD began four years ago with a simple toothache. Her mother, Yvrose, took her to the dentist in her home of Bahon, a rural Haitian village with limited electricity. Soon after, a bump the size of a pea developed inside the young girl’s cheek. Within a year, it was the size of two grapefruits. Doctors from Boston tried to remove the growth at a Haitian hospital in 2011, but the tumor returned and continued to expand at an even faster pace. Staff members from Project HOPE and one of their concerned donors, Larry O’Reilly, heard about Hennglise’s condition and worked to coordinate a second surgery in Haiti. But inadequate intensive care resources and potential power outages in the country raised concerns about the safety of the very delicate and specialized surgery. Next, with full financial support from O’Reilly, Project HOPE sought assistance from Operation Smile, the renowned Norfolk-based charity that has helped repair children’s facial abnormalities around the world since 1982. Because Hennglise’s condition was too serious to address in her own country, Operation Smile accepted her as a World Care patient for surgery in the United States and reached out to CHKD – its longstanding partner in charitable pediatric craniofacial reconstruction for international patients. “CHKD has the ability to handle practically any tertiary-care need and has a talented team of medical professionals in pediatric neurosurgery and craniofacial surgery. The hospital was the natural choice for Hennglise’s operation,” says Dr. William Magee, Operation Smile co-founder and the head plastic surgeon for Hennglise’s procedure.

A World-class Collaboration

Hennglise Dorival shares a grateful smile with her surgeon and friend Dr. William Magee, who removed a 4-pound tumor from the girl’s face this spring.

Page 14: CHKD Kidstuff, Fall 2014

By this spring, the disfiguring tumor had grown to 4 pounds. Stares and comments from classmates had forced Hennglise to drop out of school months earlier, and even her own relatives had stopped visiting. When she and her mother arrived at CHKD for the surgery in April, the mass had pushed Hennglise’s left eye and jaw out of place. “Her abilities to eat and talk were affected, and the tumor’s growth blinded the affected eye,” says CHKD craniofacial surgeon Dr. Jesus Gil B. “Jegit” Inciong. If left untreated, the massive, aggressive tumor could eventually cut off Hennglise’s airway. In addition to CHKD’s pediatric anesthesiologists, intensive care physicians and nurses, Hennglise’s surgical team included Dr. Magee, Dr. Inciong and fellow CHKD craniofacial surgeon Dr. George Hoerr. Dr. Joseph Dilustro, a CHKD pediatric neurosurgeon, and Dr. Eric Crouch, a pediatric ophthalmologist, were also in the operating room to evaluate the need for intracranial and eye surgery. In a surgery that took nearly 10 hours, the team removed Hennglise’s tumor and reconstructed her left eye socket and upper jaw bone.

After surgery, Hennglise recovered in CHKD’s pediatric intensive care unit for several days and was out of the hospital just five days after her operation. In the weeks that followed, her mother returned to Haiti to care for Hennglise’s siblings, and Hennglise continued her recovery at the homes of several host families in Hampton Roads in order to be close to CHKD’s medical resources for follow-up care. Hennglise wanted to wait until the swelling subsided before taking a look at herself after surgery. Iris Feduniewicz, who hosted Hennglise during her stay, watched as she saw her reflection in their family’s hall mirror. “She stared at herself for a moment, looked at the ground, stared again at her reflection, and a big grin spread over her face,” she says. Remarkably, six weeks after surgery, Hennglise could eat almost anything, cut in small pieces, and had discovered a new-found favorite food – pizza. She was able to visit several Hampton Roads attractions, like the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Center and the Virginia Zoo. And in June, Hennglise was well enough to join CHKD doctors and Operation Smile caregivers for the one mile walk at The King’s Daughters RunWalk for the Kids at Town Point Park.

“She has recovered well. She is talking well in Creole and is happy,” says Dr. Inciong. Still, he adds, the teen’s medical journey is not quite over. Removing the tumor was just the first step. “As her face heals and the tissues settle down, more surgery will be required,” Inciong says. Hennglise required an eye prosthetic and dentures. She remained in the United States on a medical visa until September, and CHKD and Operation Smile continued to provide follow-up care up until her return to Haiti this fall. “Operation Smile and CHKD have had decades of cooperation caring for children with craniofacial abnormalities,” says Dr. Inciong, whose work as an Operation Smile volunteer spans more than two decades. “We are fortunate that both complementary organizations are local here in Hampton Roads, but capable of serving the needs of children worldwide.” Hennglise, who traveled more than 1,000 miles from home, is grateful for that cooperation and the team that came together to change her life. And her new confidence, new energy and new smile – a grin full of gratitude – say it all.

training in New York,”

says Eileen, who joined

the Joffrey Ballet’s trainee

program in September.

In her sophomore year in high school, Eileen began having trouble keeping up with her dance classmates. Her concerned parents, Linda and Chuck, took her to the pediatrician who suspected that her breathing difficulties were caused by pectus excavatum (PE), an abnormality of the chest wall that caused Eileen’s chest to be depressed in the center between her ribs. Like many teens with PE, Eileen had always had a slight indentation in the mid-chest, but it became more pronounced as she grew, compressing the lungs and heart and making it harder to breathe, especially in dance class. “I didn’t make a connection with the shape of my ribs and the fact that I had lots of difficulty breathing when I danced and always got more out of breath than everyone else in my class,” the teen said. The Boyles, who live in Albemarle County, looked to CHKD and its renowned center for chest wall repair for help. The hospital is the home of the Nuss Procedure – a minimally invasive surgery for PE pioneered by Dr. Donald Nuss in the late 1980s – and is recognized nationally and internationally as the premier center for treatment of chest-wall abnormalities. The

center’s surgical team performs an average of 130 chest wall repairs annually with patients coming from across the state, the country and even the world. Eileen – diagnosed with progressive, severe pectus excavatum – was a good candidate for the Nuss Procedure, explains Dr. Michele Lombardo, a pediatric surgeon at CHKD. Tests confirmed that Eileen’s PE was putting pressure on her heart and restricting her lung expansion. “Eileen had just completed a growth spurt when I met her, and her symptoms had worsened. Her dance performances were becoming increasingly more difficult,” says Dr. Lombardo. Unlike open surgical techniques, the Nuss Procedure uses just two small incisions on the side of the patient’s chest in order to insert a curved metal bar under the sternum. The bar is then rotated, propping the sternum into the correct position. The bar is secured to the patient’s ribs and typically remains in place for two to three years to push out the rib cage and restore normal chest wall anatomy. The Nuss bar is ultimately removed in an outpatient procedure. “After the operation, breathing mechanics

When Eileen Boyle dances, her moves are breathtaking. Yet just a few years ago, Eileen felt winded and was losing stamina, even during routine dance practices. In fact, just climbing the stairs in

her home seemed to take her breath away.

are improved and similar to patients without PE. This results in improvements in breathing and exercise tolerance,” Dr. Lombardo says. Her family made the decision to schedule surgery during the summer before Eileen’s senior year of high school. Dr. Lombardo performed the Nuss Procedure on Eileen in July of 2013. The procedure went smoothly, and after recovering in the hospital for a few days, Eileen returned to her home in Charlottesville with plans to make regular follow-up visits to CHKD every few months. Eileen experienced a dramatic transformation right away, with the absence of what she described as a dent in her chest the size of a baseball. “I now understand what it’s like to have a normal chest,” she says. More important, though, are the physical and health benefits Eileen will have for the rest of her life. “In normal day-to-day exercise, I’ve definitely noticed an improvement in my breathing,” says Eileen.

She’ll depend on that stamina to make her dance aspirations come true. And she’s well on her way. In fact, just months after the Nuss Procedure, Eileen felt well enough to audition for a prestigious dance training program with the Joffrey Ballet in New York City – an opportunity that could set her career in motion. Newly transformed with her Nuss bar in place, Eileen’s performance won her a spot in the esteemed program. “I’m so excited about training in New York,” says Eileen, who left this summer to study contemporary dance. She says she’s prepared for the rigors of training eight hours a day, five days a week and, eventually, launching a professional dance career. As they watch their daughter make this incredible leap toward her dreams, the Boyles know they made the right choice by going to CHKD for Eileen’s life-changing Nuss surgery. “Dance is everything to her,” says Linda, “And now she can pursue the career that she’s always wanted.”

CHKD’s International Center for Chest Wall Repair As the clinical home of the Nuss Procedure, CHKD has become an international treatment and research center for chest wall abnormalities.  Nearly 1,800 patients have undergone surgical correction for chest wall defects at CHKD, and CHKD surgeons perform an average of 130 repairs a year. CHKD’s center also offers non-invasive bracing treatment options for patients with less severe conditions, including the Vacuum Bell for PE. As a leader in chest wall corrections, CHKD has hosted the annual Nuss Thoracic Deformity Lecture Series, an international conference for pediatric and cardiothoracic surgeons and their clinical staff featuring live demonstrations since 2001.

Bill Ouzts, vice president at BB&T Scott & Stringfellow in Newport News, is a veteran financial adviser who

understands the benefits of supporting Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters. He’s also a grateful father. In 2000, Bill and Beverly Ouzts’ 15-year-old daughter, Liz, was diagnosed with pectus excavatum. “As a young teenager, it was a really big deal not to look like everyone else,” recalls Liz, now 29 and a budget analyst in Fairfax. After reading an article in the local paper about CHKD pediatric surgeon Donald Nuss, who pioneered a ground-breaking procedure to correct the condition, Bill and Beverly brought Liz to CHKD for the surgery. The operation gave her new confidence and improved her lung capacity, likely contributing to her success as a swimmer. In the years that followed, she earned a swimming scholarship to George Mason University and ultimately helped the school capture a conference championship. “I became much less self-conscious, and I know my lungs are healthier,” Liz says. During his daughter’s treatment, Bill remembers meeting a Philadelphia doctor who brought his child to CHKD for the same operation. This validated the incredible fortune the Ouzts family was feeling to have a pediatric

hospital so close to home. “It felt like the best care in the world,” Beverly says. Even before their daughter’s procedure, Bill and Beverly supported the hospital. In addition to making annual donations since 1998, the couple set up several charitable gift annuities (CGAs) for the hospital. CGAs allow individuals to donate cash, securities or other assets to CHKD and receive an immediate tax deduction

and fixed payments for life at a guaranteed interest rate. “A lot of people don’t realize they can turn a donation into a real investment,” Bill says. Bill and his son Will,

a fellow financial adviser and co-worker, have educated many clients on legacy gifts and how CHKD benefits the community. As a result, many clients have become friends of the hospital. “You have to love what you’re giving to,” Bill says. “I’ve heard so many miraculous stories at CHKD. I can’t imagine a better beneficiary of our gifts than this hospital.” Liz and Will plan to continue their parents’ legacy of giving. Will and his wife, Sarah, an aspiring pediatric nurse, live in Williamsburg and are thankful any future children will have CHKD doctors nearby. “For many reasons … past, present and future,” Will says, “CHKD is very important to our family.”

Princess Anne and Cox High Schools combined forces to host the annual Love Run in February and raised $13,873 for CHKD. Pictured here are seniors David Vangeluwe and Carter Fleck who won the “best transportation award.”

The annual CHKD employee phone-a-thon raised $58,900. It was a two-night event with 132 employees participating as team captains, callers and volunteers. “The Cat in the Hat” team pictured here included employees from the social work, chaplaincy services and finance departments and raised the most for CHKD during the event.

Farm Fresh President Micky Nye (right) and Mark Merrill, vice president of merchandising for Farm Fresh (left back), joined Dr. Linda Pegram (second from right) and CHKD patients to present a check for $325,000 to CHKD’s cancer and blood disorder program. The funds were raised during the 14th annual Farm Fresh Round Up this spring. Farm Fresh held a second Round Up for CHKD in September.

Long-standing supporters from Atlantic Dominion and Hoffman Beverage organized their 25th golf tournament to benefit CHKD. Pictured here (from left) are Tony Tanner , Katherine Hines, Richard Nye, Andrea Tanner, Mickey Cleveland, Robin Ray, Charlie Scaglione and Kevin Barney.

As Amoco dealers, Mickey Cleveland and Charlie Scaglione had been a part of many fundraisers over the years

to help CHKD, an organization important to so many of their customer’s families. But they never imagined the golf benefit they organized with their colleagues in 1990 would become a beloved annual tournament and one of the longest-running grassroots fundraising events in CHKD’s history. They started by approaching Hoffman Beverage Company and Atlantic Dominion Distributors, who jumped on board with seed money for the inaugural event. Dozens of vendors donated merchandise to create the best ‘goody bags’ in town. And when RC Cola offered to sponsor a raffle for a boat, the success of that first year’s event was sealed. “That raffle put us on the map,” remembers Mickey. Our goody bags have become legendary.” Their industry has survived big changes since then, but a core group has remained devoted to the event, raising more than $375,000 for CHKD since its inception. Mickey has served as event chairman each year, with Charlie by his side. Hoffman Beverage

and sister company, Atlantic Dominion, have also proven to be loyal supporters. Atlantic Dominion owner Robin Ray, and employees like Tony and Andrea Tanner, Richard Nye, Katherine Hines and Kevin Barney have ensured the success of this event. “It’s a great cause,” says Kevin Barney. “We are thankful to have a resource like CHKD in our area to help any child in need.” Charlie agrees. “There’s a miracle in all this,” he says. “This event allows us to raise money that spreads hope and joy to sick kids and their families. We’ve found that when you

are doing the right thing, it never feels like work,” he says. The 25th annual event is scheduled for Wednesday, October 22, 2014, at Oceana Aeropines Golf Club. Mickey is expecting another great

turnout for CHKD. “We couldn’t do it without the enthusiasm of everyone who comes out,” says Mickey, acknowledging that some committed participants have never missed a year. “There is always a little ember left over from the success of the year before. Each year we blow on it, and it ignites all over again. “

Grayson Moore, pictured on CHKD’s outdoor playdeck with his mom Liz, volunteers his time with the child life department.

Liz Moore will never forget staring at the hands of the CHKD surgeon as he explained the life-saving heart surgery

he would perform on her son Grayson. Born 15 weeks early, weighing only 1 pound, 14 ounces, Grayson seemed smaller than just one of the surgeon’s hands. She wondered how it would be possible to operate on such a tiny heart. Liz and her husband Roger had already lost Grayson’s twin brother, Parker, and couldn’t comprehend saying goodbye to her other son. Waiting anxiously in the waiting room, Liz vowed to do anything she could to save their son. And when the surgeon returned from the operating room with news that the procedure had been a success, Liz made a promise to give back to CHKD for all they were doing to save her baby boy. That was 21 years ago, and since that time Liz Moore has kept her promise in big ways. As president and founder of Liz Moore & Associates, a premier real estate agency on the Peninsula, she and her employees have generated more than $107,000 in donations for CHKD through annual fundraising efforts. “We try to be creative and have fun with it,” Moore explains. “We’ve done dress-down days, cookbooks, fancy galas, cupcake wars … anything we can think of. It’s truly a labor of love.” Moore regularly sees the impact the hospital

has on families in her community. “Grayson was our miracle child, and now I’ve seen many of my employees and clients experience their own CHKD miracles. We proudly celebrate them all with our fundraising efforts.” Liz and Roger are even more proud of their now 21-year-old son, Grayson, who is carrying on his mother’s promise to support CHKD. “Over the years and through the absence of my brother, I’ve learned that you can let a tragedy destroy you, or you can turn it into

something positive,” says Grayson. “That’s the path I’ve decided to take.” In addition to actively supporting the fundraising efforts of his mother’s company, Grayson has returned to CHKD — this

time, as a volunteer. “In May of this year, I started volunteering in the child life department at CHKD,” Grayson says. “Child life specialists are pediatric professionals who help kids through therapeutic play and getting their minds off the medical procedures being done. It has honestly been one of the biggest blessings of my life.” Grayson plans to honor the memory of his brother and thank CHKD for saving his life by following his mother’s example. “I want to give back to the folks who were so good to us,” Grayson says. “I hope in the years to come, my mom and I will work together and do even more for CHKD.”
