Meet Miracle Child Addie from, Yorkton, Sask. 💜 At nine years old, her family had concerns when they noticed physical changes on the right side of her back. Her parents’ minds were filled with endless questions.
After seeing a specialist at Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital, Addie was diagnosed with scoliosis, but doctors felt there was something more. An MRI discovered a Chiari malformation that had caused a fluid-filled pocket in her spine, risking permanent spinal cord damage.
Though her parents hoped to avoid major surgery, to maximize her quality of life, Addie required decompression surgery and later a spinal fusion surgery.
Today, Addie is thriving. While she will always have scoliosis, she no longer needs a brace, and her spine is straight. She is still recovering with some physical limitations, but her vibrant personality continues to shine.
The Jim Pattison Children's Hospital Radiothon, presented by CIBC Wood Gundy, is on November 4 & 5, and will share the stories of incredible Miracle Children, like Addie. Please follow along and donate to help kids across Saskatchewan.
