Miracle Monday – Our Why: Ruthie

This little bundle first arrived at UC Davis Children’s Hospital soon after birth. She was having a hard time breathing. The UC Davis care team determined Ruthie had a heart defect and down syndrome, diagnoses that took her parents by surprise.

Not to worry, though. Ruthie was in good hands at the UC Davis Pediatric Heart Center and UC Davis Mind where she got the treatment and support she needed. Now 4 years old, she’s still a bundle of joy who loves reading and being a big sister. Oh yes, and being cool.
