Karen's Story

My husband and I were so lucky to have been gifted with our son Derek 3 years ago, but our introduction to parenthood was not typical as our son was born with three separate birth defects.

My husband and I were so lucky to have been gifted with our son Derek 3 years ago, but our introduction to parenthood was not typical as our son was born with three separate birth defects.

At my 20-week ultrasound, we learned our baby had a bilateral cleft lip, so two splits between his upper lip and nostrils. 1 in 700 children are born with a cleft lip and/or palate so it’s common, but they can be accompanied by several complications. I am a big planner, so it was extremely nerve wracking to not know what challenges lie ahead for us or my baby.

Derek was born at KGH in May of 2020 during the height of the pandemic. My husband and I were so fortunate to be able to stay in the same room as our new baby at KGH, and even more lucky that all the additional testing he needed was available here. Fortunately, KGH is set up for Cleft babies and they have a great NICU. It eased my mind knowing a great NICU was nearby, even though we didn’t end up needing it.

Vince's Story

The first responders were shocked I had survived and rushed me to emergency at Kelowna General Hospital where I was so fortunate to have 5 separate specialists all working on different parts of my body simultaneously.

In 2018, while working as a welder, a crane broke and dropped a 7,000-pound beam on my body. I was lucky to survive, but it broke my leg and all my ribs, bruised my heart, punctured my lung, broke my vertebrae, and severed my spinal cord.

The first responders were shocked I had survived and rushed me to emergency at Kelowna General Hospital where I was so fortunate to have 5 separate specialists all working on different parts of my body simultaneously. My heart kept stopping, but the team was able to keep me alive and finish the most vital surgeries. If they hadn’t all been available here in Kelowna, my story would likely have had a very different ending.
