James and May are so incredibly blessed and thankful to have had the exceptional, quality care for Soleil at Seattle Children’s Hospital. It’s no wonder they’re ranked in the Top 10 nationwide and No. 1 on the West Coast. 

It wasn’t just a hospital stay but truly a life-saving, positive experience. From the renowned Neurosurgeons, to Angie Forbes for being the ringleader, to the Social Workers who came in on their day off, to the nurses that answered their questions over and over, to the sitters that made sure May and James attempted to sleep, to the music, physical, speech, and occupational therapists -Seattle Children’s definitely shines bright.

Tears were flowing and hugs were exchanged as their time to transfer care came a little after Noon yesterday. They wish they could take Soleil’s entire team with them to San Diego. 

But it is without a doubt that they know they will be in good hands at Rady Children’s. They have identical, if not similar next steps and treatment protocols to Seattle Children’s. The Neuro Oncologist that will continue with Soleil’s care has been referred several times from various medical family and friends in the field. And Dr. Leary, highly recommends her colleague Dr. Crawford, as she has had first hand experience working with him in Washington, DC. The road to recovery will take time but they are grateful the path is still clear.
