of the MatterLe Bonheur president and CEOMeri Armour with Kamari Orange(left) and Jeremy KillingsworthD e a r F r i e n d s o f L e B o n h e u r ,Le Bonheur • Spring 2009Building a new Le Bonheur Children’s Medical Center is one of the single mostimportant things this city will ever do. Without good health, kids can’t go toschool. Without good health, children become disadvantaged in their ability togrow into productive, skilled and educated adults. Without good health for allour children, the potential of our community diminishes. None of us shouldtake the role we play in Le Bonheur’s future for granted. What each of us doesindividually matters. It matters to our patients and their families and it reallydoes make a difference for the children and families we serve.At Le Bonheur Children’s, we are attentive to all the problems affecting our patients, including poverty andsocietal issues that adversely affect children’s health. Every day our staff – over 1,900 professionals and 600physicians – gives generously of themselves by doing whatever they can for the children in our care, giving back inwonderful, magical ways, making Le Bonheur Children’s better because of their efforts. Kids can’t get this kind oftotal care just anywhere. To meet their needs, they need a children’s hospital.While construction continues on our new facility, it will take all of us – our staff, donors, friends, volunteers andthe community – to ensure that when the building is completed in 2010, Le Bonheur can continue to advance thecauses of pediatric care throughout our community. It will take all of us to be successful in our quest to rank amongthe best pediatric hospitals in the United States.The children of this community really need us. They need you. You are making a difference for them. We thankyou for joining us as we change the world, one child at a time.Warmest Regards,Meri Armour, M.S.N., M.B.A.President and CEOLe Bonheur Children’s Medical Center2

Horsebackriding is her thing. When it comes to DisneyWorld, she’d rather meet a princess thanMickey or Minnie and she got that chance lastyear on her 7th birthday.Emma was born with mitochondrial disease,a rare genetic disorder that causes damage tothe brain, muscles, kidneys and the endocrineand respiratory systems. She has a verycomplex form of the disease, and as a result,she has a loss of motor control, gastrointestinaldisorders, swallowing difficulty, poor growth,respiratory complications, seizures and issusceptible to infections.As the only child of Karrie and JasonLaCroix, Emma was three months old beforethey noticed any developmental delays in theirbaby. At the time, they were living in SouthBend, Indiana. After being evaluated at twodifferent medical facilities near their home,Emma was finally referred to a mitochondrialdisease specialist who was located in Atlanta.After two days of testing, Emma’s diagnosiswas confirmed. Her parents were told Emma’sprognosis was unknown and that there was nocure for her disease.The Road to MemphisLike most parents with a special-needschild, Karrie and Jason sought the supportof their loved ones and decided to return toMemphis, where Jason had grown up, to bewith his family. His parents, Anita “Gayle” andRobert “Bob” Bennett had recently returnedhere for Bob’s job as chief learning officer andvice president of Human Resources at FedExCorporation. Jason also found work as a FedExcustomer-information services manager intactical planning and engineering.Since they moved here in 2004, Emma hasbeen cared for by physicians at Le BonheurChildren’s. In the past four years, she hasbeen admitted to Le Bonheur Children’s asan inpatient four times. Her condition makesher extremely susceptible to infections likepneumonia. Emma has also been monitored inthe EEG Monitoring Unit at the hospital.“It’s very comforting to have confidence inLe Bonheur Children’s physicians,” says Karrie,a registered nurse affiliated with a physiciansEmma with her father, Jason, and grandfather, Bob Bennettpractice at Methodist North Hospital. “Whenwe do have to go there, they are compassionateand very understanding. They are very willingto listen and learn since there is not muchknown about mitochondrial disease. They areso responsive to our needs.”Emma is in a wheelchair. She uses apercussion vest for daily respiratory treatmentsand uses nebulizer treatments to help withher breathing. She has a gastrostomy tubefor feeding and takes as many as 20 pills andsupplements every day. An oxygen monitor isalways connected to her. Her prognosis is stillunknown, yet the beaming, smiling youngster isalways joyous and has a great sense of humor.“We live life day by day,” Karrie says. “Weenjoy every day and live each day to the fullest.”EMMA continued on page 8 >>>w w w . l e b o n h e u r . o r g7

The added expense incurredfrom staying in a hotel becomesanother burden. It’s comforting toknow you have a place to go nearbyand if something happens to yourchild can be there with them in amatter of minutes. It is also a place totalk with other families who are goingthrough similar experiences with theirill children.”The FedExFamilyHouse will providehousing for families of patients whoreceive extended care at Le BonheurChildren’s. Scheduled to open in 2010,the FedExFamilyHouse will provide aplace for the families of patients, likeEmma, who live outside of Memphis aplace to stay just across the street fromthe new hospital.“We all want the best for ourchildren,” says Karrie. “We knowthat we are taking Emma to thebest possible place that we can.It will be amazing to have theFedExFamilyHouse available forLe Bonheur’s out-of-town families,”Karrie says. “Here they are, in astrange city with no idea where tostay. It will be a nice place for them toget some sleep and have a warm meal.It will meet their basic needs so theycan stay strong to meet their child’sneeds when they go home.” ■– By Kini PlumleeEmma met a princessat Disney World.FedEx sponsored a trip forEmma and her parents to visitDisney World on her 7thbirthday.

It’s All About theByKini Kedigh PlumleeBedside Teaching IsRewarding for AllLast spring, when an 18-year-oldMemphis high school studentwas undergoing treatment atLe Bonheur Children’s, she wantedsome help with her studies to pass the GatewayTest in algebra. She could not graduate otherwise.In stepped Shelly Burr, a full-time school teacherwith Le Bonheur Children’s Child Life Department.Burr tutored the student at her bedside for twoweeks prior to the test to help ensure that hergraduation would happen as planned.However, on the day the test was to beadministered, the patient was receiving heavymedication and was unable to take the exam.At that point, Amy Paller took charge. Paller,a Memphis City Schools (MCS) teacher whoworks with Burr to coordinate studies forLe Bonheur Children’s patients, receivedpermission from MCS to administer the test forthis student on another day. The student, whois legally blind, took the test given by Paller thefollowing day while she was still in the hospital.“High school students, especially seniors,are very conscientious about getting theirassignments and not falling behind,” Paller says.“They want to graduate.”So, Paller read aloud the questions on the testand filled in the patient’s answers for her. Thenshe delivered the finished exam to the Boardof Education. “The patient passed with flyingcolors and she did graduate,” Paller says.It’s moments like these that stand out for Burrand Paller in their continuing efforts to provideinstruction to students who find themselves atLe Bonheur Children’s for one reason or another.The kids might be patients at Le Bonheur for acouple of days, a week, an extended stay or evenreceiving ongoing treatment such as dialysis.Regardless of their illness, homework andclassroom studies continue. Providing classroominstruction to sick children and lending a gentlehand with homework can be one of the mostimportant aspects of successful health care.“We try to normalize the hospitalenvironment for children as much as possible,”Burr explains. “Helping them continue theirschool studies can help to improve their healthas much as other aspects in their overall care.Adds Paller: “Working on something makesthem feel better, the day goes by much faster,and they have a better attitude. It also givesthem something to look forward to every day.”And when patients are discharged?“We make sure they transition back into theschool setting as smoothly as possible,” Burr says.Paller has a degree in special education fromthe University of Memphis. She has taught forMemphis City Schools for 26 years and has fiveyears’ experience in a hospital setting.Burr received a bachelor of science degree intherapy recreation from Penn State and a master’sin education from the University of Pittsburgh.She has worked with children in other hospitalsettings as a certified therapeutic recreationspecialist, reaching the children’s rehabilitationtherapy goals through recreational activities.Currently, she is studying for a doctorate in SpecialEducation at the University of Memphis.Burr and Paller work with grades K through 12,on all subjects, in all hospital units. On any givenday, they may see six or seven patients each; onbusy days, as many as 10 patients each. EveryMonday, Wednesday and Friday Burr teacheseight high school dialysis patients. Other days,they might assist in helping to set up homeboundteaching services for patients who cannot returnimmediately to school upon discharge.Patients who are able to leave their hospital roomsometimes perform better in a school environment.To meet this need, Burr and Paller occasionallyutilize Le Bonheur Children’s Creative Arts StudioTylur Harris, LaShayla Crane and TylerHedrick keep up their studies with the helpof teachers Shelly Burr and Amy Paller.as a makeshift classroom. When the newLe Bonheur opens in 2010, it will include a separateclassroom for this purpose, according to Burr.Teaching at bedside does present a fewchallenges. Nurses are constantly checkingthe medical equipment, leading to manydistractions and disruptions. However, for Burrand Paller, what they gain from their efforts faroutweighs any drawbacks.“The connection you can build with studentswith medical needs or disabilities is special,”Burr says. “It helps them feel comfortableknowing someone is advocating on their behalf.We’re able to concentrate on the whole child,not just their academic needs. If I can help themleave the hospital with one assignment finishedand off their plate, and alleviate some stress, Ihave made a bigger difference in their educationthan if I taught them in a regular classroom.” ■The Child Life Program is workingon an endowed status for thefuture of the school program.

50 N. DunlapMemphis, Tennessee 38103www.lebonheur.orgNonprofit OrganizationU.S. POSTAGEPAIDMemphis, TNPermit No. 3093Address Service RequestedBill “Road Kill Bill” Hughesand Hannah DurhamCaringfor KidsWhile Hannah Durham and her father, Rick, were driving from their home in Baldwyn, Miss.to Tupelo to attend the 2008 Father/Daughter Gumtree Ball to benefit Le Bonheur Children’s,Hannah asked him why he took her to the ball every year.“Some people cannot afford the cost of doctors when their child is sick,” Rick replied. “When webuy a ticket to attend the ball, the money goes to help Le Bonheur give kids the best medical care possible.”The fundraiser for Le Bonheur Children’s is presented annually by the Gumtree TWIGS.The 2008 event was the third consecutive ball that the Durham duo attended. Hannah, 9, had heard ofLe Bonheur Children’s and knew that her father participated for several years in a softball tournament tobenefit the hospital but there was something about his answer that struck a chord. She decided right then,on the way to the dance, to do something special for Le Bonheur’s kids on her own.With help from Connie Haygood, regional representative for Le Bonheur Children’s, Hannah became aChange Wizard for the 2008 Le Bonheur Radiothon in Tupelo. Sponsored by Wizard 106.7, the ChangeWizard program encourages collecting change for contributions to Le Bonheur Children’s during theradiothon promotional period.Hannah contacted stores in her hometown to place Change Wizard collection canisters at checkout registers.For two weeks, she kept close tabs on eight containers, logging the dates and amount collected at each location.Additionally, during the first home game of the Baldwyn Bearcats football season, Hannah handed outcookbooks and wrist bands for donations to Le Bonheur Children’s. Her goal was $300.When Rick drove Hannah to the Wizard radio station in Tupelo to present her donation live-on-theair,the amount she raised had reached $606. “I hope this money helps save a kid’s life,” Hannah told Bill“Road Kill Bill” Hughes and Kelli Karlson, the morning deejays on Wizard 106.“I am so proud of her,” Rick said. “Just seeing her at such a young age wanting to help other kids and theirfamilies was reward enough,” he added, as tears rolled down his cheeks. “She learned a very important lifelesson: giving back when you are blessed so others may have a chance at new beginnings.”The 2009 evening of dancing, refreshments and activities for dads and their daughters will be held June27 at the Tupelo Furniture Market.
