Sometimes the most important images are the ones we capture before a baby is born.
💙

Fetal cardiac MRI gives our heart team detailed images of a baby’s heart without radiation, helping families get clearer answers & a head start on care. When an ultrasound raises a question, this technology helps us find answers sooner.

We’ve been scanning since 2023 & are proud to be among the most experienced programs in the country, helping pave the way for what’s next in fetal heart care.

After 392 days, Cairo is finally going home! 💙 And he’s getting one very special send-off from the team that has been by his side every step of the way.

Cairo arrived at Rady Children’s NICU in September 2025. Just five days later, he was intubated, beginning a journey filled with countless procedures, tests and three major surgeries, including a tracheostomy. Through every challenge and setback, Cairo continued to show just how strong he is.

Along the way, his care team became so much more than the people caring for him. They became his village.

Now, this sweet ball of sunshine is heading home. Join us in celebrating Cairo, his family and the incredible team who helped make this day possible. 🫶

Meet 8-year-old Remi, lovingly known as “Chatty Kathy” at home. 👋💙

Born with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), a brain injury caused by a lack of oxygen at birth, and later diagnosed with cerebral palsy, Remi has worked hard to connect with the people around her. Today, with the support of her family and the speech therapy team at Rady Children’s, she’s finding new ways to share her thoughts, personality and sense of humor with the world.

Remi attends weekly speech therapy sessions at Rady Children’s, where she is learning to use an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) device. Using eye-gaze technology, the device allows her to select words and phrases with her eyes and communicate independently.

“She can express her feelings, wants and needs, and her ability to communicate keeps growing every week,” says her mom, Kirsten.

Since beginning speech therapy, Remi has progressed from using single words and symbols to building sentences, asking questions and engaging in conversations. Whether she's sharing jokes with her brothers, chatting with friends or playing sled hockey, she's showing what's possible when children have the tools and support they need to thrive.

When Kaiya’s mom went in for a routine ultrasound at 20 weeks, she learned Kaiya had spina bifida, a condition in which the spine and spinal cord do not fully develop.

Today, Kaiya is 17-year-old high school senior, competitive wheelchair basketball player and a reminder that a diagnosis does not define what a child can accomplish. 🌟

Kaiya’s family traveled across the country to Rady Children’s Health, where a multidisciplinary team spanning neurology, orthopedics, urology and rehabilitation has helped her build strength and independence.

During her first appointment, Dr. Le, one of her rehabilitation medicine physicians, encouraged her family to explore wheelchair basketball. That recommendation became a life-changing opportunity, giving Kaiya a community and confidence that have carried into every part of her life.

Soon, she will take on another exciting role: team captain at the Rady Children’s Invitational, an NCAA basketball tournament taking place over Thanksgiving. 🏀

Her advice to other families is to look beyond the diagnosis and discover what makes your child feel confident, capable and connected. 💙
