Sickle Cell Disease
Doctors suspected Harmony Cooper had sickle cell disease when she was just days old. For first-time mother Briona Leonard, the prospect was both unnerving and intimidating.
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Liam Ledbetter-Dunn would return home from daycare with bruises thought to be the result of toddler horseplay. But when Liam’s bruises worsened, parents Brian and Shane Ledbetter-Dunn were proactive in scheduling an appointment with Liam’s hometown pediatrician in Auburn, Alabama.
All-Terrain Vehicles (ATV) are off-road vehicles for recreational use. They are very popular in Alabama, but with the thrill comes major risks.
Emergency department physicians at Children's of Alabama treated more than 230 cases of ATV-related traumas in the past three years. Nationally, more than 100,000 ATV-related traumas are treated every year in emergency departments and more than one-third of those cases involve children under the age of 16.
Generally, ATVs can be unstable and prone to tip over. ATVs are more dangerous than bicycles and 12 times more likely to result in death. Watch video.
