  • “If We Didn't Have RMH This Surgery Wouldn't Be Possible”
    SPRING 2016 “If we didn’t have RMH this surgery wouldn’t be possible” The Whiddons are no strangers to the medical world. As most lives begin within hospital walls, the trip home usually follows within the first few days of life. Unfortunately for Laneah and her family this was not the case. A hospital was Laneah’s home for her first 3 months of life. Within her first year, Laneah was trached and vented, suffered from RSV and a lung collapse along with many other challenges. She was diagnosed with Global Hypertonia, a disorder similar to Muscular Dystrophy, which consists of abnormal increases in muscle tension and a reduced ability of a muscle to stretch. The struggle to find stability for Laneah took many years for the Whiddon family. During Laneah’s first 6 years of life, the family drove over an hour each way so she could receive ongoing treatment. Mom, Dana, recalls many “uncomfortable nights” and “long drives” she and her husband, Bobbie, endured so they could be close to their daughter’s side. Laneah had a stable stretch of years where she required no hospitalization, thankfully, but still had a lot of outpatient appointments. Then, at a check-up a year ago, Dana received news that Laneah would require a series of invasive surgeries. Feeling as though she needed a second opinion, Dana began her research and that’s when she came across Dr. Freeman Miller, with Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children. Dr. Miller had a different approach, one that Dana and her family felt more comfortable with.
