---------

We created the Children’s Wisconsin page as a space to share the inspiring and encouraging stories of our patients, their families and our fans, allowing you a space to connect with other individuals who have experiences with or affinity for Children’s Wisconsin. In this spirit, we welcome your comments, praise and criticism. While we always monitor and reply to messages and comments, it bears repeating that we’re not legally allowed to discuss specific patients via Facebook. If you have questions regarding your child, it’s best to reach out to their doctor directly. Please understand that while we make every effort to respond on social media, some inquiries may require follow-up through another channel. And please don’t share your personal information on our page — this is a public space. If we are requesting contact information from you, we’ll encourage you to provide it via private message. Children’s Wisconsin Facebook Rules of Engagement

We won't remove your comment just because we don't like it. You are part of our community, and you deserve to be heard, even if your comment is critical of your experience with us. With that in mind, we have some simple rules that we’ll apply out of respect for others visiting our page, or those who we may feature in our stories.

1) No name-calling
If you disagree with someone, that’s fine. If you have a criticism of Children’s Wisconsin, we want to hear it as well. But we ask that that you respect each other, our patients, their families and our staff. That means not using vulgar language, not mocking appearances or name-calling other members of the page or those individuals featured in our posts. Out of respect for our employees and their privacy, we may also remove a post or comment that refers to them by their full first and last name.

2) No profanity
We recognize that there’s a fairly broad definition of ā€œprofanity,ā€ so we ask that you consider your words in the mindset of whether or not what you say is appropriate to be said around a child. If not, please reconsider posting.

3) No advertising or spam content
If you have something to sell, provide services or want a job, that's for your own page, not ours. Spam, whether to advertise or simply repeat any message multiple times on our Facebook wall, is also prohibited.

4) No copy and paste posting
If you keep posting the same thing (or a variant of the same thing), whether as a post or as a comment, we reserve the right to hide or delete duplicates. This includes efforts to cover messages or opinions of those with who you don’t agree with.

5) No misinformation
We view content posted on our page as a representation of our organization and ultimately our medical perspective, which extends to the comments and posts by our community members. For that reason, we may remove posts that contain misinformation as it relates to medical topics such as – but not limited to – vaccinations, COVID-19, community services and more. Actions we may take

1) On Reviews
We will request Facebook remove reviews from individuals who are not reviewing their own experience with our organization. Just because you have a bad experience and share it in a review does not mean we will request it be removed. We want to hear the bad reviews as much as we want to hear the good ones — we need to know when we’re falling short of our standards. That always matters to us.

2) On posts and comments
We reserve the right to delete posts or comments that violate these rules of engagement, and to block users who repeatedly violate them, or otherwise abuse the forum of the Children’s Wisconsin page.

3) Banning/blocking
As mentioned earlier, we may resort to banning individuals from our page should they continue to engage in toxic, inappropriate content as outlined in these rules.

KPop Demon Hunters? āœ”ļø
Anything pink or purple? āœ”ļøšŸ’œ
The opportunity for a better night's sleep? āœ”ļø

Meet Mya. šŸ’•

One year ago, Mya became the first patient at Children's Wisconsin to receive an Inspire device to help treat her obstructive sleep apnea.

Inspire therapy is a small device implemented during surgery that helps keep a person’s airway open while they sleep.

Recently, she came back for her one-year check-in and we’re happy to share that everything is looking good.

For some kids with Down syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea, Inspire therapy can provide another treatment option when other approaches haven't worked.

And for Mya, better sleep means more energy to simply be a kid – enjoying KPop Demon Hunters, all things pink and purple and everything else she loves. šŸ’œ

It’s one more way our teams are bringing innovative treatments to kids who need them.

Natalie’s cast may have slowed her down, but it definitely didn’t dull her sparkle.

After a fall on her backyard playset left her with a fractured arm earlier this summer, 8-year-old Natalie came to Children’s Wisconsin, where our team helped make a tough break a little easier.

Kids aren’t just little adults. Our orthopedic specialists have specialized training to care for growing bodies, considering everything from growth plates to the long-term health of bones and joints.

From the emergency department to orthopedic follow-up care, we guided Natalie and her family through every step, helping make treatment and healing as stress-free as possible. For Natalie, that included a colorful cast with some extra glitter. ✨

Six weeks later, Natalie was back to doing what she loves most: enjoying summer vacation and being a kid.

Fracture care at Children's Wisconsin is now quick and easy to schedule online. Learn more: https://childrenswi.org/fracture

šŸŽƒ When Spirit Halloween invited Warren and Hattie for a frightfully fun VIP visit to their store, it was a special opportunity for two Children's Wisconsin families to enjoy a day filled with Halloween excitement and celebrate how far they’ve come.

The favorite finds?
šŸ¦– Warren was fascinated by the larger-than-life inflatable dinosaurs and sharks throughout the store.
šŸŽ¤ Hattie found the perfect K-Pop Demon Hunters costume to bring her Halloween look to life.

The Spirit team rolled out the red carpet with Halloween fun and a memorable experience for two families who have gone through so much.

Warren received specialized care at Children's Wisconsin to help treat severe epilepsy, leading to a life-changing surgery and helping him get back to doing the things he loves most. Hattie and her mom, Jessica, found support, connection and healing through Children's Wisconsin Grief Services after the loss of Hattie's father.

Warren and Hattie also spent a lot of time with our Child Life program, so this store visit was extra meaningful to them. Spirit of Children, Spirit Halloween's charitable foundation, helps support Child Life departments across the United States, including ours at Children’s Wisconsin, to make hospital stays less scary for kids.

You can join in the fun and support kids like Warren and Hattie! Use code HOPE26 at SpiritHalloween.com or use the coupon at https://giving.childrenswi.org/Halloween to save 10% on your order, and Spirit will donate 10% back to support our Child Life program. You can also donate at checkout to support the terror-ific kids and families we serve. šŸŽƒšŸ’›

Read this blog post by Dr. Matthew Maves, a Pediatrician at the Children’s Wisconsin Cedarburg Pediatrics primary care office, for everything you need to know about the flu and flu vaccine.

The vaccine is a simple and safe way to protect your children and family from the flu.
