In 2019, Naomi Myers was recognized as the Patient Hero Award at Mary Bridge Children\u2019s annual Bridge Builders Luncheon celebrating donors to Mary Bridge Children\u2019s. She received this award because of her perseverance during her first five years of life.<\/a><\/p>\n

Naomi was born with congenital laryngeal web, which means she has extra tissue connecting her vocal cords. It affects her voice and her ability to breathe.<\/p>\n

At five days old, Naomi had her first surgery. That\u2019s when she met Mark Boseley, MD<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dr. Boseley is part of Mary Bridge Children\u2019s Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) clinic, helping thousands of patients each year. Like Naomi, he was also recognized in 2019 at the Bridge Builders event as a Mary Bridge Children\u2019s Physician Hero.<\/p>\n

\u201cDr. Boseley was the best gift we didn\u2019t know we needed,\u201d Naomi\u2019s mom, Kristin Wright, says. \u201cWe\u2019ve always felt super supported and empowered to make decisions for Naomi. We always have felt like we are on a team with him and everyone at Mary Bridge Children\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n

Services supported by donors to Mary Bridge Children\u2019s through the Mary Bridge Children\u2019s Foundation, such as Child Life, helped reduce any stress or anxiety Naomi felt about her surgeries and procedures. According to Naomi\u2019s parents, she \u201cnever lost her joy\u201d thanks to her Mary Bridge Children\u2019s care providers and resilient spirit.<\/p>\n

After 59 days in the hospital, 15 sedations, six surgeries and three intubations, Naomi is a six (and a half) year old who is extremely social, healthy and full of energy. Aside from the tiny scar on her neck, you would never know that this child running around a playground was hospitalized a handful of times.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s doing really well,\u201d her mom, Kristin Wright, says. \u201cAlthough we are always monitoring the web, it seems to remain steady. And, now that Naomi is old enough, she is able to alert us if anything is wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thanks to the care Naomi has received at Mary Bridge Children\u2019s, Naomi is living her best life, playing with friends, going to school (virtually) and spending time with her family.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
