Zachary could not handle life and he could not handle the many treatments that were working for other children with autism. He was dealing with something else, something that could quietly take him to a fragile and critical state destroying his body and our lives. We spent hours and hours in the hospital ER and various clinics taking every test doctors could think of, always getting mysterious confusing results. Something was wrong, he was suffering and in so much pain. He was just exhausted but unable to sleep.

What a relief that our family doctor (Dr. A. Liao) sent us to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and we are so grateful. The entire team of professionals, and hospital experience was the best.
Children’s Hospital is “Our Hospital” from now on. My son said he wants to go back to the hospital … I guess he forgot about the needles and tears.

My son, Derek, came home with a report card a few weeks ago and he had 5 A’s and 2 B’s!
Just a few months before that, his previous report card was all C’s, D’s, and F’s.
It turns out Derek’s brain was under such great pressure from fluid build-up that the poor guy couldn’t think. But it was nothing that a little brain surgery at Children’s Hospital couldn’t help us solve.

They were worried about me leaving their hospital with Sally because of her kidney failure and I could not take her with her I.V.
But they refused to transfer her to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles via ambulance. So I drove her to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and they took good care of my daughter.
Sally started to get better once I got her to Children’s and I can say that Children’s Hospital is the best hospital …

There was an angel, a doctor with all the intelligence that God gave him and the hard work that he put into making himself a skilled surgeon that made a successful surgical repair on my 4-hour-old, brand new baby girl.
Today, Lucy is 23 years old and is a preschool teacher. She is married. She has a baby 1-year-old baby girl and a happy husband. And she is a lovely daughter.
