Every parent knows the worry of a child losing their favorite stuffed animal. When a patient at our Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center lost his beloved stuffed octopus, Children’s nurse Bella jumped into action. She searched high and low through our halls and even enlisted our Environmental Services team for help. After an unsuccessful search, she decided to take matters into her own hands. She broke out her crochet needles and five hours of crocheting later, Bella had made a brand-new octopus. The next day, she hand delivered this special surprise to her patient’s room. It was all smiles and that's the real medicine, isn't it?

Born with amnionic band syndrome, a rare condition affecting limb development, Anthony has transformed his limits into strengths. When he entered his teenage years, Anthony started to become self-conscious about his limited ability in his left hand. That's when his family was referred to our Comprehensive Limb Difference Program. Our dedicated teams were able to equip him with a custom-fit prosthesis that was geared to improving his fine motor skills, and in turn, boosting his confidence. With his new prosthesis, Anthony has his eyes set on achieving his next goal: becoming an electrician.
