Run for kids like Martin.
Jasmine Zavala was excited to see her baby boy during a 31-week ultrasound at her obstetrician’s office. Her excitement soon turned to unease when doctors identified a problem with her son’s intestines.
Jasmine was referred to a specialist at Le Bonheur who laid out a plan for her unborn son and gave Jasmine and her husband comfort knowing the specialized critical care they would provide.
At 34-weeks pregnant, Jasmine’s water broke prematurely and she underwent an emergency C-section. Once baby Martin was born, he was quickly transferred to Le Bonheur’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Jasmine remained at her birthing hospital while Martin received the critical care he needed.
While Jasmine had to spend three days away from her newborn recuperating from her surgery, Martin’s Le Bonheur nurses made sure she received constant photos and updates. At 4 days old, Martin underwent surgery to connect his intestines. The surgery was a success and Martin was cleared to begin eating on his own at 3 weeks old.
“From the moment we met with Le Bonheur doctors during my pregnancy, I felt at ease knowing there was a plan in place for my son,” Jasmine said. “When I couldn’t physically be with my son, Le Bonheur went above and beyond to make sure I was updated and that he was well cared for. We are so grateful.”
Two-year-old Martin recently had his annual surgical follow up appointment and is thriving!
