reflections

Thank you for your support.Thanks to generous donors like you, CHKD ended another year in sound health, and we are inspired by the impact of your con-tributions. Your support of our mission to care for every child who needs our services is deeply appreciated and vital to the sur-vival of our hospital and the children we serve.

Over the past year, your contributions helped us upgrade two operating rooms in the region’s only surgi-cal program exclusively for children, providing the newest lighting and state-of-the-art imaging technology for our pediatric surgeons during procedures. We’ve also renovated our pediatric intensive care unit, where more than 500 children with life-threatening illnesses and injuries received care last year. Four-year-old Claire was one of those children, and you can read her CHKD story on page 8.

In all, children made more than 9,000 visits a week to CHKD and its community Health Centers and physician practices last year. Your support made a big difference in the lives of every one of them – including Tiana, who got an unexpected diagnosis with the help of CHKD’s pediatric specialists. And Connor, who is now living his col-lege dream thanks to CHKD’s sports medicine team.

The stories in this issue of Kidstuff are just a few of the thousands that demonstrate how your support of CHKD makes an impact. But, even as we celebrate this year’s successes, we prepare for a new year and the challenges of providing pediatric healthcare services in a com-munity with more than 500,000 children that stretches from the East-ern Shore of Virginia to northeastern North Carolina.

With your support, we can meet those challenges … and continue our work to heal, help and provide hope to our community’s children and their families.

Tackling the future

Uncertainty. That’s what Great Bridge High School star tackle Connor O’Shea of Chesapeake faced after a shoulder injury side-lined him during his junior year, dimming his dream of playing college football.

By Heather Kent

As an offensive lineman, the 6-foot-5-inch, 275-pound junior wasn’t normally fending off hard-hitting tackles. His job was to block – physically keeping defenders away from the player on his team holding the ball. But he vividly remembers the fateful night when, after his quarterback threw an interception, he found himself suddenly on the defensive. And just as suddenly, Connor was blindsided by a powerful hit from a lineman on the op-posing team, dislocating his shoulder.

The school’s certified athletic trainer rushed onto the field and was able to reset his shoulder. As Connor and his family head-ed to CHKD’s emergency room, uncertainty

about his future in football added to his pain. Only six games in, Connor wondered if his season – along with his chance to be seen by college recruiters – was at an end.

Connor’s X-ray showed no broken bones, so the emergency department sent him home in a sling with a referral to primary care sports medicine physician Joel Brenner, who is also medical director of CHKD’s sports medicine program. He recommended physi-cal therapy to restore stability to Connor’s injured shoulder. “Connor is a very dedicated athlete, and at that point in his career, sports medicine physical therapy was his best op-tion,” Dr. Brenner says.

Connor missed the rest of the season, but he stayed focused, working with an expert team of CHKD sports medicine physical therapists to build strength in his shoulder. He was soon pain-free and spent the remainder of his junior year preparing for what could be the determining factor in his ability to play football in college – his performance during his final high school season.

When August came, he felt ready. Connor used a brace to restrict his shoulder movement, decreasing the chance of an-other dislocation. His hopes of a college football career seemed to be back on the horizon.

However, Connor soon found that his injured shoulder could not endure the intense and recurring impact of field play. His shoulder began painfully slipping in and out of the socket – increasing in frequency to multiple times in a single game by late in the season. “In my position, I need my shoulder to help me block. But, when I’d hit someone, it felt loose and just wouldn’t hold in place,” Con-nor explained. “I managed to do my job on the field that year, but it was really tough.”

Giving up on his chance to play on the college level was not an option for Connor.

Despite the instability of his shoulder, he played well. And his per-severance and determination paid off when Shepherd University in West Virginia made him a scholarship offer to join its team.

Connor was ecstatic, but he also had feelings of uncertainty. College players would be larger, the hits harder and the game much more intense. He wasn’t sure his shoulder could handle the impact. “I knew deep down that I couldn’t play in college with my shoulder the way it was,” says Connor.

He returned to Dr. Brenner for advice. Suspecting that surgery might be the best option, Dr. Brenner asked Dr. Marc Cardelia, surgical director of the CHKD sports medicine program, to take a look. After a thorough examination of Connor, his medical history and on-field experiences, Dr. Cardelia suspected that a Bankart lesion was the cause of his ongoing issues. An MRI confirmed his suspicions.

Bankart lesions occur when the ligaments that hold the shoulder in place tear away from the joint. This condition often results in recurrent shoulder instability. Unlike the hip joint, which is a ball inside a socket, the shoulder is more like a golf ball sit-ting on a tee. The soft tissue surrounding the ball is essential to keeping it in place.

“Since restricting activity wasn’t an option for Connor, I rec-ommended that he undergo a surgical procedure called Bankart repair, which would give him the best chance for a full recovery and continuation of his football career,” Dr. Cardelia explained. In Connor’s case, Dr. Cardelia would be able to perform the repair arthroscopically through three small incisions – reducing his recovery time substantially.

“I knew if I didn’t have the surgery, I wouldn’t be successful

“I fell hard, and my shoulder dislocated completely. In all my years of football, it was the worst pain I had ever felt,” Connor recalls.

“In addition to my recovery, I learned to treat my body better. The stuff they

taught me will definitely help me to play more safely in the future,” Connor says.


playing football at Shepherd,” Connor says. The outpatient surgery was scheduled for January 25, 2013,

at CHKD’s Health and Surgery Center at Princess Anne in Vir-ginia Beach. This would give Connor’s shoulder eight months to recover before he had to report to school for full contact play. In the 90-minute procedure, Dr. Cardelia first prepared the bony surfaces by roughening them to enhance healing. He then reattached the soft tissue to the edges of the shoulder joint socket, using sutures to secure it until the healing could create a permanent bond.

The procedure went smoothly, and Connor was back home in his own bed that night on his way to fulfilling his dreams. “Dr. Cardelia did a great job with my surgery. He really understood my goals and needs. I couldn’t have asked for a better doctor to take care of me,” Connor says.

Connor knew recovery would be difficult. He also knew that the CHKD sports medicine team would be by his side every step of the way.

After a month in a stabilizing sling, Connor looked forward to beginning his rehabilitation. Conveniently, one of CHKD’s four sports medicine physical therapy fitness centers is located at CHKD’s Health Center at Oakbrooke, just five minutes from his home. This was a definite plus since Connor would be visiting

two to three days a week for four months of therapy. “In addition to my recovery, I learned to treat my body better.

The stuff they taught me will definitely help me to play more safely in the future,” Connor says.

On August 17, 2013, almost exactly eight months after sur-gery, Connor O’Shea was off to college with a clean bill of health from surgeon Dr. Cardelia and his team of therapists.

“He worked very hard and did everything we asked him to do. He was the ideal patient and got the result he deserved. I will see him over his Christmas break as a final follow-up, but I have complete confidence that he will have a successful return to football,” comments Dr. Cardelia.

With CHKD’s sports medicine specialists behind him, Connor feels ready to tackle his future and the adventures that lie ahead. “Everyone at CHKD was awesome. I wouldn’t be playing football at this level if it wasn’t for Dr. Cardelia, Dr. Brenner and all the sports medicine physical therapy staff. I really owe it all to them.”

Dr. Cardelia practices with CHKD Surgical Group’s Orthopedic and Sports Medicine. Dr. Brenner practices with Children’s Specialty Group, PLLC, at CHKD.

“Claire doesn’t have the natural instinct to swallow and clear her airways,” says Rachael. “When she gets sick, it becomes even harder for her to breathe. And I just knew something was very wrong.”

Trusting her instincts, Rachael took Claire to CHKD Medical Group’s Coastal Pediatrics in Eliza-beth City the day after Christmas. Her pediatri-cian, Dr. Daniel Robinson, examined Claire and immediately recognized she was very ill – her oxygen levels were dangerously low, and her breathing rate was elevated.

“He told me she had to go to CHKD immedi-

ately,” says Rachael. But Dr. Robinson told Rachael and Ron that a ride in the family car was too risky. Instead, he made a quick call to CHKD requesting a transport unit to take Claire to the hospital.

CHKD transports are state-of-the-art mobile intensive care units specially designed to meet the emergency needs of children throughout CHKD’s extended service area. Two CHKD teams are in place 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to transport children from all hospitals and pediatric practices in southeastern Virginia, northeastern North Carolina and Virginia’s Eastern Shore. On average, CHKD transport teams make more than

different. She wasn’t getting better.

1,200 trips a year. A majority of those transports bring newborns to CHKD’s neo-natal intensive care unit (NICU). Others call CHKD for children who are seriously ill, like Claire, and need the specialized pediatric care only available at CHKD.

“When I send a child to CHKD, I have to decide if the child is stable enough to get there by car or if they may get worse on the way,” says Dr. Robinson. “The transport team truly offers mobile intensive care – they can do almost any-thing an emergency room can do, but they do it inside a vehicle on the way to the hospital.

“Claire was obviously extremely ill,” he continues. “I knew that getting her to CHKD as quickly as possible was the best thing for her.”

During the call to CHKD, Dr. Robinson gave the hospital a synopsis of Claire’s con-dition. The information was then relayed to the transport team on duty, who called Dr. Robinson back to get additional details and provided a general timetable for ar-rival. Within the hour, the transport unit ar-rived at Coastal Pediatrics to pick up Claire, and Dr. Robinson had her paperwork ready to pass along to the team.

Each transport team consists of a reg-istered nurse and a registered respiratory therapist with pediatric critical care expe-rience, as well as a certified paramedic. Upon arrival, the team’s first response is to stabilize patients before transporting them to the hospital.

“Claire was sicker than we expected when we arrived,” says Chris Johnson, the registered nurse on the transport team that day. Along with team members Lori Kaliher, a respiratory therapist, and Israel

Medina, the team’s paramedic, Chris moved Claire from the doctor’s office to the back of the transport unit, started an IV and began antibiotics to stabilize her.

“The theory behind the transport is that we’re bringing the hospital to our pa-tient,” explains Chris. “The equipment and supplies on the transport are especially designed for kids, and if a child’s condi-tion changes en route to the hospital, we are fully capable of addressing any issues that occur.”

Communication is also a critical part of the transport team’s job. “We are up-front with parents. We let them know what we are doing and any treatments we’re plan-ning. During the intensity of the moment, parents often express relief to have us there,” says Chris.

Rachael admits that she and Ron were anxious about leaving Claire. “I was terrified, but the transport team told me exactly what would happen from the minute Claire left my arms,” says Rachael. “They had everything they needed for her at their fingertips, and we watched them stabilize her right there in the back of the transport unit.”

The transport team’s compassion and confidence comforted the couple as they kissed their daughter goodbye and prepared to follow the unit to CHKD in Norfolk. “The transport team was phe-nomenal,” says Rachael. “They even called us during the ride to let us know Claire was okay.”

Once she arrived, Claire was taken to the pediatric intensive care unit. Her condition was so serious that a breathing tube was immediately inserted. She was diagnosed with a severe case of pneumo-nia and spent three weeks in the hospital before she was finally well enough to go home.

“She was a very sick little girl,” Rachael says. She and Ron feel grateful for the transport team that cared for Claire on the way to CHKD. “It really makes a statement about how CHKD is so child-friendly. When you have a child with special needs, you really appreciate the extra effort everyone makes to treat a child and their parents with special care. It makes a difference.”

Dr. Robinson agrees. “The CHKD trans-port is a wonderful resource for regional pediatricians and hospitals. It almost feels like the cavalry is arriving when they pull up.”

“I was just always so tired,” Tiana says.daytime nap monitoring.

Tiana arrived for her sleep study in the evening. Technicians applied electronic sensors to Tiana’s head and chest to re-cord her sleep stages, respiratory function, and brainwave and motor activity. The overnight monitoring took place from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. the next morning, but Tiana was free to get up to use the bathroom or get a drink as needed. Sh’Ronda wasn’t far from her daughter during the testing. She stayed in the comfortable guest sleep room nearby, designed so parents can stay with their children.

In the morning, Tiana had an early breakfast and stayed awake for two hours before taking the first of five attempted naps beginning at 8 a.m. Every two hours, Tiana would try to sleep for 20 minutes.

After Tiana’s sleep study results were analyzed, the family returned to CHKD, where Dr. Strunc gave them an unex-

pected diagnosis: Tiana has narcolepsy, a chronic, neurological sleep disorder marked by low levels of a brain chemical that helps promote wakefulness.

Most children with narcolepsy can be treated effectively with medication. Dr. Strunc prescribed a medication for Tiana at the start of the summer, and she expe-rienced immediate improvements. She no longer fell asleep during the day and got better sleep during the night. Sh’Rhonda believes the early diagnosis and treatment spared her child – an aspiring fashion designer – many struggles in her school-ing, social life and extracurricular activities, which include cheerleading and dance.

“She’s had an awesome response to the medicine,” Sh’Ronda says. “If we hadn’t figured out what it was, her grades prob-ably would have started slipping, and that would have put her into a deep depression because this is a kid who doesn’t like get-

Last spring, 11-year-old Tiana Jones was a straight-A

student in her Elizabeth City middle school when she inexplicably began falling asleep in class. Severe drowsiness would come upon her suddenly and uncontrollably. She’d drift quickly into a deep slumber at her desk, usually until a classmate jostled her awake. The same thing happened on car rides and when Tiana was doing homework in her room. She had strange spells of déjà vu, thinking she’d already taken notes in class or finished her homework but found herself staring at a blank piece of paper instead.

Despite her sleepiness during the day, Tiana couldn’t sleep at night. She saw “creepy monsters” beside her bed and sometimes never drifted off at all. “I was just always so tired,” she says.

Tiana’s mother, Sh’Rhonda, initially thought her daughter might be going through some preteen hormone changes or suffering from depression. Tiana was also having severe headaches and was seeing Dr. Ingrid Loma-Miller, a pediatric neurologist at CHKD, for migraines. Upon learning of the sleep issues, Dr. Loma-Miller referred Tiana to the center for pediatric sleep medicine at Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters.

Dr. Michael Strunc, a CHKD pediatric neurologist who is board certified in pe-diatric sleep medicine, ordered a two-day sleep study for Tiana. With access to state-of-the-art equipment, CHKD doctors can diagnose problems through a multiple sleep latency test, or MSLT, which includes an overnight sleep study and subsequent

ting even one B. She could have easily gotten hurt somewhere, too, if she fell into a deep sleep at the wrong time. It’s scary to even think about that.”

CHKD has always had doctors from multiple specialties to help children such as Tiana with sleep disorders. Now, with growing recognition of the frequency and impact of such disorders in young patients, the hospital has expanded its program, with plans to add a com-prehensive sleep center at the hospital campus and the CHKD Health Center at Oakbrooke. Additions include sleep labo-ratory rooms, exam and consult rooms, additional diagnostic equipment, more medical specialists and greater research capabilities.

“Our goal is to build an even more comprehensive sleep center,” says Dr. Strunc. “We are starting to see more patients and handle everything from the most mundane, common sleep problems to very complicated, rare disorders. We can make a huge difference in the lives of these kids and their entire families.”

The center’s staff currently includes three other board-certified pediatric sleep medicine physicians: Dr. Albert Ho, also a pediatric neurologist; Dr. Cris-tina Baldassari, a pediatric ear, nose and throat specialist; and Dr. Jenny Wiebke, a pediatric pulmonologist. “We can have the greatest impact when we work col-laboratively and have a multi-disciplinary approach,” Strunc says.

Dr. Strunc and his team worked in concert with Dr. Loma-Miller to design the treatment plan for Tiana. “Coordinat-ing with pulmonology, allergy, neurology and ENT is a routine part of what sleep medicine does for patients,” Dr. Strunc says.

The sleep center at Oakbrooke in Ches-apeake will be completed by early 2014. Like the current sleep lab at the main hos-pital, every component of the sleep center will be uniquely designed for children, from kid-friendly bedding, to equipment fitted for smaller bodies, to technicians who are

or they are misdiagnosed with another condition such as depression or attention deficit disorder,” Dr. Strunc says.

Dr. Strunc will continue to monitor Tiana’s progress and possibly adjust her medication to help her sleep better at night. He’s already happy with her quick improvement, which includes fewer headaches.

“It was like night and day after Tiana started treatment. Now she can be awake and alert during the day,” he says. “She can be this awesome kid who can do whatever she wants, with no limitations. That’s what we want for all of our patients.”

experts at making kids feel comfortable and interpreting medical data unique to children and teens.

Dr. Strunc hopes local pediatricians and family physicians across the region will ask patients and their families about sleep quality and refer even “ordinary” concerns – sleepless infants or kids who snore loudly or have disturbing dreams – for specialized testing. “Sleep disorders such as insomnia, sleepwalking, restless leg syndrome, narcolepsy and sleep ap-nea can have a big impact on a child’s behavior, performance in school, mood and growth in general,” Dr. Strunc says. “That’s because sleep is critical for body and brain health, hormonal balances and the function of the immune system.

“Unfortunately, many young kids and teens with more common sleep distur-bances go undiagnosed, often for years,

Solon and Johon Paul are a remarkable pair. Married for more than 60 years, they worked together in their office products company, Paul Business Systems, for much of that time. And for the past two decades, the couple has been dedi-cated to a cause that has had a profound impact on the children of Hampton Roads. It is their shared life mission.

In 1993, as they prepared for retirement, their attorney and friend, Ed Stein, asked what they wanted to do next with their lives. Like many retirees, Solon expressed his interest in traveling. But Johon’s lifelong dream was a bit different. “I want to help abused children,” she said.

Johon’s desire to help children quickly became a priority for the pair, and they started by support-ing a new endeavor – the Child Abuse Center of Hampton Roads – using their business savvy, community contacts and personal finances to help bring the project to life.

“We were amazed at the help people in the community gave and how fast the center was up and running. It was inspiring, and it let us know from the start we had made the right decision,” Solon says.

Demand for the center’s service was great. It quickly outgrew

one location and then another. “You wish that the need wasn’t there … wasn’t so great,” Johon says. “But it was fulfilling to be able to help.”

In 1998, the Child Abuse Center became a part of CHKD. “When the hospital took over, the cen-ter had the advantage of their full expertise and medical resources. And, we were able to expand,” Johon explains. “Reaching everyone in our area was the greatest thing of all.”

Solon was also thrilled with the change. “The cause got more exposure with CHKD involved. We started to see a shift in people’s thinking. It got people talking more about child abuse and how to help the victims,” he says.

With CHKD at the helm, the Pauls continued their efforts to advocate for the future and growth of the program. They were among the first mem-bers of the CHKD child abuse development board, supporting the program’s fundraising ef-forts for many years. They also created an endow-ment and estate plans to benefit the program beyond their lifetimes.

“We are honored and proud that the center has grown to be nationally recognized. It’s really a beautiful thing that has happened here, “ says So-lon. “CHKD relies on support from the community, and we have done what we can. We hope it will inspire others to follow our lead.”

A legacy of support for abused children

devoted 20 years to helping children in the Hampton Roads area.

Devoted to healthcare for childrenJohn and Sally DeVan never needed to bring their two children, now grown, to Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters. Yet they recognized how important the hospital is – and always will be – for children in Hamp-ton Roads.

“From a mother’s perspective, having two chil-dren who have been so healthy has made me realize how blessed we are in so many ways,” Sally says. “We just can’t ignore the fact that we can help other families.”

That’s why the Virginia Beach couple has made year-end contributions to CHKD through their engineering firm, PACE Collaborative, every year since 1992. In 2006, they established an endow-ment fund, which provides a perpetual income stream to support patient care at the hospital. The fund is named for their Virginia Beach-based mechanical and electrical engineering firm, where John serves as president, and Sally works as an accountant.

The couple learned more about CHKD when PACE Collaborative designed several mechani-cal and electrical systems for the hospital’s main campus and satellite facilities.

“Although Sally and I are sometimes recognized for contributions, it is important to note that we would not be in this position without the many blessings from God above and the generous support and hard work of our business partners: Eddie Abrams, Brian Wall and Jim Bedois,” John says. “These folks believe, just as we do, that our true success is based on what we contribute in life and not what we accumulate.”

As their own children, Joshua and Sarah, start families of their own, the DeVans are celebrating the next phase of their lives as grandparents. They recently welcomed their first grandchild, Sarah’s daughter Mackenzie Joy, born in August. Now they’re eagerly awaiting the birth of Josh-ua’s first child due in February.

“We have so much to look forward to as new grandparents, but we don’t ever want to lose sight of other families who are in difficult situa-tions,” Sally says.

The DeVans say stories about families who need CHKD tug at their heartstrings and inspire them to stay involved.

“We’re very aware of how much CHKD benefits our whole region,” John says. “We can’t think of many better, more worthwhile places to contribute.”

John and Sally DeVan created the PACE Collaborative Fund, designed to provide perpetual support for patient care at the hospital.

GEICO associate Sally St. Leger treasures the fact that the Virginia Beach-based regional office where she works has sup-ported CHKD for 30 years. It’s more than just goodwill to her. It’s personal. St. Leger’s son Zaven has sickle cell disease, and over the past 21 years, he has made more than 200 visits to CHKD.

St. Leger is grateful to be a part of a company that recognizes the impor-tance of having a local children’s hospital.

GEICO’s support of CHKD began at the very first Children’s Miracle Network tele-thon in 1984. At that time, the company had 150 employees. Thirty years later, GEICO has grown to become one of Virginia Beach’s largest private employers, with more than 2,300 associates.

Joe Thomas, regional vice president, and Toiya Sosa, regional public affairs and community relations manager, work side-by-side coordinat-ing the charitable efforts of the company to de-termine the best use for the philanthropic dollars GEICO has to give.

“We’ve developed primary areas of corporate giving that relate to what we do as a company. Those include safety, health and families, educa-tion, and community development,” Joe explains. “Children’s Hospital overlaps all four of these cat-egories, which is why it’s a pretty easy decision to give to CHKD.”

Joe and Toiya also place great emphasis on the interests and goals of GEICO’s employees.

“We survey our associates twice a year to find out what they feel is important. We want to sup-port things that have personal meaning to them and concentrate our efforts in places that have a real impact in their lives,” says Toiya.

CHKD has very personal meaning to employees at GEICO, including Joe and Toiya. Many have

children who have received both life-saving medical treatment and routine healthcare through the hospital, its pediatric practices and the CHKD Health and Surgery Centers through-out Hampton Roads.

The longevity and commitment of GEICO’s support allows CHKD to fulfill its commitment to the region’s children by providing healthcare to every child, regardless of their family’s ability to pay. “We know CHKD is a cause that is meaning-ful to so many of our associates. Being able to provide good healthcare to our children is vital, and they do that in a big way. That’s why we support CHKD,” Joe says.

Thousands of regional GEICO associates, including those pictured here, appreciate the services CHKD offers to children in the community.

Walmart had a fantastic fundraiser for CHKD in May and June, raising more than $936,000 for the hospital. Eleven of the top 20 fundraising stores in the nation are located in Hampton Roads. Pictured here, Kathy Sewell from store #3265 in Yorktown celebrates the store’s donations.

Paige and Ainsley Roberts held an Anthem LemonAid stand in honor of their older sister, Caitlin, who was diagnosed with a Wilms tumor 13 years ago. She is now 17 and doing well. Throughout the weekend of July 19-21, 799 Anthem LemonAid stands raised more than $100,000 for cancer care at CHKD.

Hyundai Hope On Wheels and local Hyundai dealers awarded Dr. Eric Lowe of CHKD a $75,000 Hyundai Scholar Grant for his work on an in-home assessment and aid program for families of children with cancer. Dr. Lowe and CHKD patient Leslie Lopez-Aguilar participated in the handprint celebration.
