Sickle cell disease
Meah and Carson Simpson bicker as siblings, but they’re each other’s cheerleader and protector through thick and thin. Meah, born in 2005 with sickle cell disease, is a gentle soul with a fighter’s spirit. At age 6 months, she developed pneumonia, which led to the first of many bouts of acute chest syndrome, a lung-related complication of sickle cell disease.
Neurofibromatosis
On the surface, Huntsville native Mary Kathryn Lawrence is like any other teen. She enjoys social events, and in high school, she was a Diamond Doll for the baseball team, a member of the swim team and even worked as a lifeguard. Now, like other 19 year olds, she’s learning how to navigate college life. Mary Kathryn also has another focus – living with neurofibromatosis (NF).

Ann Slattery is the Director of the Regional Poison Control Center at Children's of Alabama. She says it's estimated that 5,000- 6,000 people die from carbon monoxide poisoning every year and most everyone is at risk. "Any time you have an appliance that uses natural gas, a kerosene heater or if there's a garage attached to the home, or a fireplace you're at risk for carbon monoxide poisoning," she says.
