Aveanna's Pediatric Day Health Care centers provide expert care in a compassionate and fun environment. They allow medically fragile children to safely enjoy the benefits of play, learning, and friendship with the medical support they need to thrive. For patients like Jaxon, our centers are life changing.
After a premature birth, Jaxon was diagnosed with Tetralogy of Fallot, a rare congenital heart defect. He spent the first year of his life in and out of the hospital, enduring various diagnoses, setbacks, and procedures. When he was finally stable and thriving at home, his parents looked for some support with his day-to-day care. That's when his mom found out about their local Aveanna PDHC.
"At the center, they know how to care for him, and we don't have to worry," Jaxon's mom shares. "He's eating, talking more, and more active since he started at the center. The interaction with the other kids has been great for him. He's grown a lot in every aspect."
Jax's Aveanna team has become like family, supporting him and helping him improve. Thanks to all his progress, Jax's parents are hopeful that he'll be able to consume all nutrition by mouth and stop using the G-tube in 2026. When he meets this goal, Jaxon can transition to a typical preschool. "We'll miss the care team at the center so much when it's time for him to move on," Jax's mom says. "But it's exciting to know that they have helped him progress so much!"
Jaxon's story is just one example of how Aveanna Pediatric Day Health Care centers can make a profound difference in the lives of of children and their families.
