LATEST STORIES FROM ABC15's KATIE RAML:
PHOENIX — At age eight, Norah Humphrey is thriving, but it was a different story when she was first born.Her father Sean recalled the frantic first hours."Nora was born at Banner Thunderbird and they immediately med-evaced her to Phoenix Children's and she went basically straight into a procedure when she was born," said Sean."So, she had a clubfoot. She had an extra finger and she was born with a condition called transposition of the great arteries.
They credit the doctors, advancing science and especially the world-class care at Phoenix Children's for Norah's success. "I think that something that really sets these guys apart from other, you know, facilities or programs that we've interacted with is just the compassion, I think. And the level of service that they really do provide, in just comforting and caring for these kids. You know, we've had mixed experiences at some other programs or facilities she's been, but but PCH has always been consistent.
Norah and her dad shared photos of her journey with PCH. The pictures are all a tangible reminder for Norah of how far she's come."Yeah," Norah replied."It's just such a blessing that she's doing so well and has gotten through all these things and gets to have a life, you know, because of their care that they've provided her there," said Sean.On April 10th ABC15 is hosting its annual telethon benefiting Phoenix Children's hospital.
