“The nurses at the hospital noticed the little flicker in her wrist,” says Tory, Ayla’s dad. “They knew something was going on, and that’s when they took her down and left us.”
In October 2015, Tory and Shelly lovingly welcomed their daughter Ayla into their world. But what was supposed to be the best day of their lives turned out to be the “worst moments” of their lives.
After Ayla was removed from the room, Tory and Shelly spent moments stressing in uncertainty but soon learned that Ayla had had a stroke in utero. And within hours, Ayla started having seizures. That's when Dr. Bernes from Barrow Neurological Institute (BNI) at Phoenix Children’s was brought in to evaluate Ayla. He’s been treating her ever since, and Tory and Shelly couldn’t be happier with the care she’s received.
Your generous support makes it possible for Phoenix Children's to provide the very best pediatric care to kids like Ayla.
