As the philanthropic arm of Kosair Children’s Hospital, the foundation is pleased to be able to play such a large role in ensuring that our community’s children have the medical care they need when they need it, while keeping kids as close to home as possible. We will continue to fill this role well into the future as we seek to help more and more children. Thanks to your support, we have some of the most talented and dedicated pediatric specialists and clinical and caregiving teams in the country ready to care for your child. You, too, are a critical part of this team — together with your support we provided care to more than 140,000 children in 2011. We have many accomplishments and milestones to celebrate and be thankful for, but we have even more to strive for in the future. During the past year, we were ranked among America’s Best Children’s Hospitals by U.S. News & World Report for the fourth consecutive year, and we began the first phase of transforming Norton Suburban Hospital into Norton Women’s Hospital and Kosair Children’s Hospital – St. Matthews, a medical campus that will be dedicated to the special needs of women and children through all ages and stages of life. Moving ahead, we look forward to providing funding for growth on our downtown Louisville campus, including the areas of oncology, neonatal intensive care and outpatient services; and Kosair Children’s Hospital – St. Matthews, which will begin serving pediatric surgical patients in January 2013. We also will continue funding initiatives that support programs, equipment, research, advocacy and education. None of this is possible without your ongoing support of our mission. On behalf of everyone at Kosair Children’s Hospital and Kosair Children’s Medical Center – Brownsboro, we thank you for being a part of our team. be fun 12 News and Notes 14 Upcoming Events 15 Children’s Hospital Foundation 2011 Annual Report Dean Lavenson Photo On the cover: Landan and Braydan Flowers of Taylorsville, Ky.

Kmetz Division President Women’s and Children’s Services President, Kosair Children’s Hospital Lynnie Meyer, MSN, R.N., CFRE Executive Director Children’s Hospital Foundation William Ehrig Chair Children’s Hospital Foundation Board of Trustees Overcoming childhood What you need to know to keep your child healthy depression and suicide Artistic expressions can open up communication with children Dean Lavenson Photo E ach year, suicide claims three times more lives than homicide in the United States. It is arguably the most preventable and one of the most devastating occurrences a family can experience, and it is happening in younger children. In youth ages 10 to 14, it is the third leading cause of death in the United States. According to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention survey of 16,000 adolescents, one in five admitted to having thought about suicide. One in six actually had thought through a plan to end his or her life. These alarming statistics are deserving of attention from both parents and professionals, who should know the warning signs as well as some tools to address them. “It’s not always easy for parents to distinguish between normal teenage angst, вЂ�hormones’ and clinical depression, particularly if a child has a hard time expressing feelings to others,” said Bryan D. Carter, Ph.D., pediatric psychologist and director of the Pediatric Consultation-Liaison Service at Kosair Children’s Hospital. “If you are concerned about your child, the most important thing you can do is listen carefully and openly, ask questions and avoid overreacting or being judgmental.” Dr. Carter, who is a professor of child and adolescent psychiatry at the University of Louisville School of Medicine, also advises parents to be direct. Ask if your child has thought about suicide or a suicide plan. If the child expresses that it would be better if he or she were not alive, that others would be better off without him or her around, or the child wants to end his or her life, always take it seriously. Have your child evaluated by a qualified child/adolescent mental health specialist. Kosair Children’s Hospital has an inpatient short-term care psychiatric unit dedicated to the mental health of children and adolescents ages 2 to 18. While in the unit, children are observed and evaluated in a therapeutic setting. Expressive art therapy is one effective tool employed by psychiatry unit staff in communicating with, evaluating and treating children with depression and other emotional or behavioral disorders. Patients are given an array of art mediums and the freedom to express their thoughts and feelings in any form they wish. Some of the most popular mediums include paint, magazines, pencils and even ceramic masks. Patients are given time to create almost every day as part of their therapy and evaluation while in the unit. They take their works home when they leave. “The art gives me questions to ask, but it doesn’t give me answers,” said Judi Magder, pediatric art therapist at Kosair Children’s Hospital. Rather than trying to interpret art, Magder has the child interpret it for her. She asks questions about the piece and lets the child explain what is happening, what might happen next and what the characters in the piece are experiencing. “We often project our feelings into art we create, but it is important not to project our feelings onto someone else’s art,” Magder said. “It is merely a medium to open up communication — but a very powerful one.” Suicide is preventable. To speak with a professional, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at (800) 273-TALK (8255). –Lyndsay Mountz Warning signs of depression and suicide risk in children • • • • • • • • • C A R T W H E E L S Decreased performance in school Social withdrawal Increased worry and anxiety Sleep disturbances Aggression Increased impulsiveness or risk-taking behaviors Irritability and easily frustrated Increased complaints of aches, pain, fatigue Triggered by/reactive to “small upsets” 3 The Melody minimally invasive Changing the tune for kids needing The last thing any parent wants for their child is to endure open-heart surgery. But that’s what Tamara and Henry Buchanan faced with their son, Austin — not once, but three times. S hortly after birth, Austin was diagnosed with a rare, complex congenital heart defect called tetralogy of Fallot. Austin’s heart had a hole the size of a quarter and a severe narrowing of the pulmonary valve that would require open-heart surgery. “His murmur was so strong you could feel it,” Tamara said. “And I remember when he was in the bathtub, his heart would beat so hard it would cause the water to ripple.” Surgeons in Mississippi, where Austin was born, planned to wait to perform open-heart surgery until Austin was 36 pounds to make it as safe as possible. However, he started having “blue spells” and ended up undergoing surgery when he was just 19 pounds. Cyanotic spells (blue spells) are a common side effect of tetralogy of Fallot due to low oxygen levels in the blood that cause the skin to appear blue. Two more open-heart surgeries followed over the next 10 years to replace his pulmonary valve. “Artificial heart valves tend to wear out or children outgrow them and need larger ones,” said Ryan Leahy, M.D., pediatric cardiologist and assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Louisville School of Medicine. “In the past this meant that these children would face invasive open-heart surgeries for the rest of their lives.” Open-heart surgery requires a large incision in the chest and cutting through muscles, tissue and sometimes the chest bone and ribs. The large incision puts the patient at risk for infection and blood loss among other complications. Recovery usually is long and painful. Austin Buchanan of Bowling Green, Ky. 4 heart valve heart surgery In 2003 Austin and his family moved to Bowling Green, Ky., where luckily he was not very far from Dr. Leahy and the experts at the Congenital Heart Center at Kosair Children’s Hospital, who also care for patients at a clinic in Bowling Green. “The scar tissue from his open-heart surgeries caused Austin to develop lung disease and suffer a stroke,” Tamara said. “When we heard about the Melody heart valve, we were so excited and relieved that he may never need another open-heart surgery.” “The Melody Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve, or Melody valve, is a new alternative to traditional artificial heart valves for patients with congenital heart disease and failing artificial pulmonary valves,” Dr. Leahy said. “What’s exciting is it is inserted using a minimally invasive, catheter-based procedure.” The catheter-based procedure is performed in the Kosair Children’s Hospital cardiac catheterization lab. The valve is mounted to a balloon on a catheter, inserted through a vein in the leg, and then threaded up to the heart to be put into place. The patient is asleep for the procedure and wakes up virtually pain-free with just a tiny incision in the leg. “Through minimally invasive techniques and avoiding open-heart surgery, patients have a shorter hospital stay, less pain and a much quicker overall recovery,” Dr. Leahy said. “It means kids get back to being kids faster.” Austin received his Melody valve in March. He spent the night in the hospital for observation but, according to his mom, was “raring to go.” “He came home with no medications — not even pain medication — just aspirin,” Tamara said. “Since getting the Melody valve he has more energy and says he feels better.” Though Austin is mentally limited due to complications of his heart condition, he works at a local restaurant and, like just about every other 20-year-old young man, loves playing Xbox. Austin has checkups with Dr. Leahy a few times a year. Since heart valves do wear out over a lifetime, it’s possible Austin may need another valve replacement, but it’s a relief to know it will be through a tiny incision in his leg instead of a large incision in his chest. –Jennifer Reynolds Singing the praises of the Melody heart valve Kosair Children’s Hospital is the only hospital in Kentucky offering the Melody valve procedure, which also can be implanted in adults with heart valve disorders. Dr. Leahy and his colleague Edward Kim, M.D., director of the cardiac catheterization lab at Kosair Children’s Hospital and assistant professor of pediatric cardiology at the University cardiologists in Kentucky performing the procedure.

This year the event benefits Kosair Children’s Hospital. Louisville Concours is not just a fancy car show. By definition it is a competition of elegance and refers to a gathering of cars that is judged on appearance. “The judges at the Louisville Concours will be looking for authenticity and quality workmanship in each area of the vehicle,” said John Carlson, chief judge and a permanent class judge at the prestigious Pebble Beach Concours. “The judges will use a 100-point deduction system, which is divided into categories that include body and paint finish, bright work, engine compartment detail, upholstery, chassis finish and window glass. Each area will be examined for the correct components as well as the proper installation and finish.” This year’s event will feature Cadillac and Porsche Racing, but they are not the usual cars you’d see on the street. You can expect to see vintage as well as pre- and post-war Cadillacs. The Porsche realm will include vehicles that were purpose-built for racing. Other classes will include European and American classic cars, muscle cars, Corvettes and hot rods. In all, the event will feature 120 of the rarest, most elegant historic and collector cars in the country. For younger event-goers, there will be a special kids and cars area plus an antique fire truck display. –Maggie Roetker Louisville Concours d’Elegance events “Dawn at the Downs” Champagne Brunch Saturday, Oct. 6, 8 a.m. Tickets are $75 per person and include a private viewing of morning workouts of the racehorses at the track, a champagne brunch at the Kentucky Derby Museum and a private tour of Churchill Downs.

It’s given our family countless opportunities to April Rietze Photo A s part of its mission of providing care “Just for Kids,” Kosair Children’s Hospital is always looking for ways to improve patients’ and families’ experiences while they spend time in the hospital. A new way the hospital is doing just that is with the installation of the “GetWell Network.” Funding provided by the Children’s Hospital Foundation, in partnership with the Team Shaan Foundation, allowed for all patient rooms to be connected with this new interactive patient care system. The GetWell Network incorporates the best in health education, age-relevant content and entertainment that patients can access from the television in their room. The GetWell Network engages patients and families in their own care by providing easy access to valuable health education resources that are presented in a fun way. “GetWell Town,” the network’s easy-to-use platform built specifically for pediatric facilities, allows staff to order educational materials specific to each patient’s condition. The system also allows service requests and communication from patients to be routed to the most appropriate staff member so that patients’ needs can be met as quickly as possible. “GetWell Town helps patients become active participants in their care,” said Cis Gruebbel, R.N., vice president of pediatric operations and chief nursing officer at Kosair Children’s Hospital. “Patients and families are empowered with kidfriendly educational materials and other hospital resources at their fingertips. This helps our caregivers deliver an even more personalized experience, and it helps our patients and families stay engaged with their health needs on a long-term basis.” What kids especially like about the GetWell Network is the broad range of entertainment features, such as TV, movies, Internet service, games and music. Parents have their own set of tools to learn about their child’s diagnosis, prescribed medicines, upcoming surgeries and more, ensuring that families are well prepared to support their child’s individualized needs and care plan. “GetWell Town has been a great addition to our daughter’s inpatient stays at the hospital,” said James Frazier, whose daughter, Kirsten, is 15. “It’s given our family countless opportunities to find additional education that we can access whenever we want. Having the Internet, movies and games available has been helpful in making our long stays a little easier.” For more information about the GetWell Network at Kosair Children’s Hospital, visit KosairChildrens.com. find additional education that we can access whenever we want.

At 19 weeks she found out that the fraternal triplet had a congenital heart defect that could be corrected once he was born. As the Flowers family prepared for three babies and open-heart surgery shortly after delivery, they had no idea they were about to face such a difficult journey. At 25 weeks, Michele went into preterm labor and was admitted to Norton Hospital and placed on bed rest. While there, the Flowers family toured the neonatal intensive care unit at Kosair Children’s Hospital, which is connected by pedway to Norton Hospital. They wanted to see where their triplets would go once they were born. “The staff was great,” Michele said. “They gave us a lot of helpful information, showed us around the unit and even showed us an example of the size of our babies at 25 weeks.” when the Flowers family saw them for the first time, they were overwhelmed but hopeful as their boys continued to fight each minute to survive. “The nurses and staff of the NICU helped us appreciate and treasure each moment as we learned what type of struggles and battles were ahead,” Michele said. “One of my most prized possessions is a Thanksgiving card that the nurses made with Landan and Braydan’s handprints and Caydan’s footprint. It was my first greeting card from our boys.” While Caydan was in the most critical condition, the Flowers family appreciated that the NICU nurses and staff cared for each one of their triplets with the utmost care. “They not only cared for our children but also helped us experience special milestones while we were in the NICU, like the first time they were big enough to wear clothes,” Larry said. MAKING EVERY MINUTE COUNT From high tech to high touch, the NICU is a special place for special babies Michele and Larry left feeling prepared and educated for what they might face. “As with any set of multiples, we knew there were going to be challenges upon their arrival,” said Tamina Singh, M.D., neonatologist with Neonatal Associates PSC. “The complication of one of the babies having a congenital defect added an extra challenge for our team to prepare for.” On Nov. 17, at almost 27 weeks, Michele went into preterm labor again and was rushed in for an emergency cesarean section. Less than 10 minutes after going into labor, the Kosair Children’s Hospital NICU team was set up and included approximately 18 nurses and staff along with three incubators. “Our team was ready for the triplets when we got the call,” said Dr. Singh, who also is assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Louisville School of Medicine. “It was a team approach paired with вЂ�drills’ and a plan of action that allowed us to be ready for the triplets by the time Michele arrived for delivery.” Identical twins, Landan and Braydan, and fraternal triplet, Caydan, were born weighing 2 pounds, 1 ounce; 1 pound, 14 ounces; and 1 pound, 8 ounces, respectively. Each one was rushed to the NICU, placed on a ventilator to help him breathe and diligently cared for by the staff in the unit. With their eyes still fused together, ears still developing and feet less than 2 inches long, they had a long road ahead. A few hours later, 8 At the boys’ 1-month birthday, the staff helped the family celebrate by capturing a priceless moment of all three boys in an incubator together. “I had no idea how special that photo would be until Caydan lost his fight and passed away in my arms just three days later,” Michele said. Even then Michele and Larry were overwhelmed by the support they received from the staff in the NICU during their greatest time of need. After 81 days in the NICU, Landan and Braydan were able to go home. Today, at 21 months old, neither have physical or developmental concerns, and they have hit every growth milestone on the mark. The Flowers family continues to remember Caydan every day. “Landan’s first word was вЂ�baby’ as he was looking at a picture of Caydan,” Michele said. “We would not have been able to remember and enjoy that moment without all the effort, support and readiness shown by the staff in the NICU at Kosair Children’s Hospital each and every minute our family was there.” –Lauren Davis Dean Lavenson Photo Larry, Michele, Landan and Braydan Flowers visit with Tamina Singh, M.D., Neonatal Associates PSC (foreground).

The “Just for Kids” Transport Team at Kosair Children’s Hospital understands and provides emotional as well as expert medical care for kids and families on their way to Kosair Children’s Hospital. One parent knows all too well. Also a physician at Hardin Memorial Hospital in Elizabethtown, Ky., Todd Bell, D.O., has been on both sides of the ambulance door, so to speak. “In my personal and professional experience, the вЂ�Just for Kids’ Transport Team has been very calming to both patients and their families,” Dr. Bell said. “They are confident and reassuring at times when that is exactly what is needed.” Dr. Bell’s son, Zane, was treated for pneumonia at Hardin Memorial when he was 19 months old. When it was clear that Zane’s condition was not improving, he needed to be transported more than 40 miles to Kosair Children’s Hospital. Dr. Bell and his wife, Tanya, felt confident in the team’s ability to care for their son. The “Just for Kids” Transport Team is a unique group composed of 27 individuals. There are nine teams of three who rotate shifts and are on call 24/7. Each team has one respiratory therapist, one registered nurse and one emergency medical technician (EMT). They care for some of the most fragile, critically ill patients who come to the hospital for specialized care. But even those qualifications aren’t enough. The “Just for Kids” Transport Team is extremely selective. Each nurse 10 and respiratory therapist is required to have at least three years’ experience in the Kosair Children’s Hospital neonatal intensive care unit or pediatric intensive care unit before being considered for a position on the team. EMTs are required to have a minimum of two years’ experience in their profession. These qualifications, combined with the most advanced medical equipment, create what is referred to as a mobile intensive care unit. Not only does the team use specially equipped ambulances for ground transportation, they have an airplane and helicopter for covering longer distances or when time is critical. The air vehicles also are equipped with sophisticated, sometimes lifesustaining, technology. Recognizing the importance of the transport team’s unique service, Speedway recently made a generous gift to the Children’s Hospital Foundation to purchase a new “Just for Kids” ambulance. This state-of-the-art vehicle is equipped with special features that make it more functional and more comfortable for patients. The vehicle has already accrued more than 30,000 miles and transported more than 300 patients in the eight months it has been in service. In addition, Speedway provided funds to refurbish and modernize two ambulances — a gift totaling $1.5 million. This amount also includes funding for the emergency department at Kosair Children’s Hospital – St. Matthews, opening in 2014.

Several tools and resources are available to help. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently changed its national model for healthy eating from a pyramid to a dinner plate, called “My Plate.” My Plate is an easy and fun way to visualize how much and what to eat by picturing your meal on a plate. One-half of the plate should be filled with vegetables and fruit, because they are full of vitamins and minerals. One-quarter of the plate should be filled with protein, like baked chicken, low-fat grilled beef or an egg. The other one-quarter should be filled with a starch, like yams, sweet potatoes or a serving of whole wheat bread. Another way to make healthy food fun for your family is to prepare meals together. Also, learning fun facts about fruits and vegetables is a great way of getting kids’ attention. For example, here are just a few interesting facts about the food you eat: • Strawberries can make your teeth whiter. They have an enzyme that helps get rid of stains on your teeth. • Peanuts are one of the ingredients in dynamite. • Apples are made of 25 percent air, which is why they float.
