Hero Remains Positive Facing New Way of Life

Ian was admitted to the Pediatric Care Unit after receiving a new health diagnosis. Even though he faced emotional and physical challenges along with a major lifestyle change, he kept a smile on his face and brought happiness to others with jokes that caused much laughter among the pediatric staff. Ian was also open, engaged, and ready to learn about the details of his new way of life. He was nominated by his Child Life Specialist Kayleigh Stark at CoxHealth-Dee Ann White Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Springfield, Missouri. Kids Wish Network is happy to award Ian as a Hero of the Month.
