5/ Macie’s story
At their 20-week anatomy scan, Macie’s parents learned that their baby girl had a rare lung lesion. After close monitoring in Alabama, they traveled to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) when Macie was one month old, where she underwent a successful right lower lobectomy. The mass was diagnosed as bronchial atresia. Today, at three years old, Macie is healthy, thriving, and full of life.
