the people going here. We have people in the back,

(01:26):
they're getting ready to man the phones now. I like
to be the first one on the board because it
is a little bit of a competition amongst shows here.
I mean, oh, it's a massive competition. You hear how
competitive you are crazy And we are the best. We
do the best every year as far as raising money.
So it's really you, the p ones, who are the

(01:49):
most generous listeners ever who do this for us, and
so we can't tell you how much we appreciate it.
We're gonna get into a lot of things of why
Rady Children's Hospital is so important here and say and
diego if you have kids, if you don't have kids,
it doesn't matter. It is just obviously the most important
thing is to not have sick kids around there and
stuff like that. So well, we'll talk about all that

(02:11):
stuff coming up in just a second, but let's get
the phones going right now. I love when they get
shocked when they're back there and going what's going on
with the show, and Rock one O five three? Why
are there so many phone calls coming in?

Speaker 5 (02:23):
Why did they just do?

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Why? Why are they so much better than everybody else?

Speaker 5 (02:28):
Why are their listeners so much more amazing than anybody else?

Speaker 1 (02:31):
And they're always shocked, they are, they're always shocked every year.

Speaker 6 (02:34):
I don't think it's working correctly.

(02:59):
to the big donors. You know, if you're a business,
if you and you want a tax, right off Paul
and donate, I'll plug you on the air. Oh yeah,
you know, we charge a lot of money to advertise
on this show. But if if you do what do
I say, how much? Over five hundred bucks? I don't remember.

(03:20):
Make it up every year? Yeah you do? Well. I
mean I get in a lot. I get in a
little bit of trouble because I do things and I
know I'm not supposed to, but I don't care.

Speaker 5 (03:29):
But if you talk about like you're getting a tax
right off and you're getting a free commercial five hundred bucks,
I think is.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Are you kidneming?

Speaker 5 (03:37):
It is a steal.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
So I'll plug your business if you donate. If your
business and you donate over five hundred bucks, we'll do
it like a full blown commercial for you on the air.
So let's get the phone lines going. I don't see
the phone ringing yet, so let's get on this. Eight
hundred two five eight zero zero zero seven or text
the word rock to five to one five five five.

(03:59):
You can also be become a hero, which is one
of the cooler things you can do, where you can
donate nineteen dollars a month. They just take it out.
You don't even have to think about it. You don't
have to worry about it. It's becoming like a monthly
donor and it's one of the easier ways to donate.

Speaker 8 (04:14):
Sitting next to two heroes right here, right, Oh, thank you,
thank you for Yeah, I know because.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
One of them always tells me about it.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Okay, excuse me, but I'll tell.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
You what if you donate.

Speaker 8 (04:23):
I was talking about Skott if you let me if
you If you do it, then you get to brag
aboutlex guy.

Speaker 5 (04:29):
Does you do.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
And the best thing is heroes brag about it.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
What these guy does?

Speaker 8 (04:35):
You let other people knowing the just Spider Man save somebody,
he braggs he does.

Speaker 5 (04:40):
Well, you let other people know, so you know they
can be just as amazing.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
Exactly.

Speaker 5 (04:44):
And yeah, nineteen bucks a month. You know, I just
told myself, okay, like a less two less Starbucks trips
a month.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
That you've never done that though, that's fine.

Speaker 8 (04:53):
You will still got one less lottery scratcher for the month.
And it's actually the lottery scratches she buys are actually
more expensive than being a hero.

Speaker 5 (05:02):
Think that they're coming out with a forty dollars scratcher.
I mean you could be a hero twice for one
of those scratchers. Yeah, and then the whole thing is is,
you know, nineteen bucks a month, like you know, you
kind of don't miss it. After a while your budget
gets released nineteen bucks, Yeah, totally. And then at the
end of the year they send you like a recap
of what you get to write off on your taxes

(05:23):

The attire?

Speaker 6 (09:13):
Yeah, yeah, we had we had two meetings about attire,
multiple and multiple.

Speaker 8 (09:19):

Speaker 1 (09:22):
Annoyed you.

Speaker 8 (09:23):
Yeah, I'm not going I'm not going to Catholic school.
I wouldn't wear a uniform here. I don't think I

two of them.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
Two of them which is which is the iHeart Rady
Children's given on. Emily has been doing this longer than
any of us, because you did this at your previous
station too, and then they brought it over here to iHeart.
So you've been doing a long time. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (10:38):
I think I did it maybe five years at the
previous station.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
They call it the iHeart Rady Children.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
I don't think we didn't know, because that seems weird.

Speaker 6 (10:47):
We used to call it the radiothon back in the day,

Speaker 1 (10:53):

Speaker 6 (11:00):
It was radio than just thho that's it.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
Oh oh thinks is way better the Rady Children's give
it on. Yeah. For some reason, Emily is very serious
about to give it. Listen, it's a serious subject. I
get it. But her producer skills.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
She'll get off, you know what I mean. Three hundred
and sixty three.

Speaker 8 (11:22):

Speaker 8 (11:39):
I mean she's she's She told me yesterday because I
was like, hey, I'm gonna get there later tomorrow. Let's

Speaker 1 (11:49):
You literally do nothing, normally less than nothing.

Speaker 3 (11:53):
I I'm like, hey, you and Eddie got this. I'm
going to sit back.

Speaker 8 (11:56):
You guys think and yeah, I may come in a
litle later too. And then she probably was here at
three thirdids morning. No, she actually was. I wasn't really
I was surprised. No, I oh, Edie not happy.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
I was actually in her studio until about five fifteen,
and I was like looking around, I'm like, is she
ever gonna what?

Speaker 3 (12:17):
That's you played me?

Speaker 9 (12:20):
They you.

Speaker 6 (12:22):
I was curling my hair at home, which I don't
normally do.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
Obviously it does she does look.

Speaker 6 (12:28):
So I spent more time on my look than my
producer duty is this morning. Well, I was organized, I
checked my emails last night before I went to bed,
I knew that I had all my ducks in a row.
So you know, veteran, I've been doing this for maybe
maybe maybe thirteen years now, so I got it. I'm good.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Okay, I'm good.

Speaker 6 (12:46):

Your giant laptop which you have to move because you
can't even move. Yeah, why her microphone can't even it
won't even get to you.

Speaker 6 (12:56):
I don't actually really need my computer, but for some reason,
I just have to have it because I've always had
it in here when we do the radio or a
give on. And nothing's upsetting me more than I don't
get to It's too big, it doesn't microphones, and it
doesn't fit.

Speaker 8 (13:09):
It's I'm so upset about it. I'm so up about

back manning the phones to be very busy. I want
them to be almost confused. Why the phones are ringing
so much for the show. I love that that that's happening.

(14:56):
Thank you so much for everybody who's already donated. But
let's keep it going right now. You're going to be
hearing from a lot of different people this morning who
have been to Rady Children's Hospital and are going to
kind of tell us and explain their story and why
Rady is just so different it is. We have kids,
you know, me, sky Emily, we all have kids. We've

(15:17):
all been through Rady Children's Hospital before, and it is
the most remarkable place. It's weird to say that about
a hospital, but it really is true. We have Laura
in here this morning, and Laura is a parent as well,
and you have what three kids, and Francie is the
one that has really been through the ringer in her

(15:37):
short life through Rady Children's Hospital. So tell us a
little bit about your guys story.

Speaker 10 (15:41):
Yeah, so, my daughter Francie had her I had a
thirty week ultrasound and part of the course, when you're
a old lady like me having a baby geriatric.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
Pregnancy, you look like, don't.

Speaker 5 (15:56):
It looks great?

Speaker 10 (15:58):
And so at that thirty week culture sound came very clear,
very quickly with the scenographer that she didn't see something
she liked and expedite it to a meeting with a
pediatric cardiologist where she sat down neat any with Michael
and I and she said, we are ten out of
ten concerned about your baby's life, and we don't feel
that she will be compatible with life, and so now

(16:18):
we need to prepare for that.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
Hold on a minute, Laura, Oh wow, I don't know
that there could be a scarier thing to hear than
a doctor or anybody telling you that your baby might
not be compatible with life. I mean that you're basically
saying there's no hope, there's no chance, no chance. That's
a very scary thing to hear.

Speaker 10 (16:37):
It was a compassionately delivered rough one line.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
Yeah, because like when you hear it, you may not
register right at the beginning of like wait, what are
you saying? But then when you sit with that, that's
a very scary thing to hear. So what do you
do at that point?

Speaker 10 (16:52):
So at that point, Rady took over and they started
to plan for all outcomes. You know, what if we
have to deliver a stillbirth and what is that plan?
And there's a lot of nuance to those moments, and
so you work out every micro micro movement, micro motion
of how that will, how that will happen. And then
it turned into well, she's stable enough in utero, I

(17:13):
think we might see a actual delivery here.

Speaker 5 (17:16):
What's that plan?

Speaker 10 (17:17):
And then you have to do the same thing again
micromoving for this you may have a couple of seconds
with her, a couple of hours at best, a couple
of days, my god.

Speaker 5 (17:24):
And then they were.

Speaker 10 (17:25):
Like, she's pretty stable as the weeks are passing and
the rest of my pregnancy, and they said, well, if
you deliver her and she's stable enough, I think we
could get her to stability. But she's probably not going
to leave the hospital until she has a heart transplant.
And by the way, that wait list for a baby
heart is about six to twelve months if she makes it.

Speaker 5 (17:44):
Stop it for oh my god.

Speaker 10 (17:46):
So we were planning for all three of those outcomes
over the course of a few months, and we got
to the delivery date and we had a very swift
delivery and Francie went to the ICU for a few days.
After four days, they looked at us and they said
would you guys like to go home? And we didn't
even it didn't even register on the radar, like we
had no plan for that. We made a plan for

(18:08):
everything but that option. So there was no diapers, there
was no nursery. We had to go have our parents
rush out and grab it and we took her home
and she did well for a month. Franci was basically
born in heart failure and she has a diagnosis called
dilated cardiomiopathy with non compaction features, very sexy, and she
also has a couple of She had at the time
a couple of holes in her heart which weren't helping

(18:29):
the other issues, and so she was admitted to Rady.
We had a lovely i think a nine to eleven
day stint there working on getting her feeding back on track.
Heart babies notoriously have a difficult time feeding, and so
she spent most of last year living life with a
little tube stuck to her cheek that went in her
nose and down into her tummy that helped her feed

(18:50):
without her having to do the work of feeding. And
we used that to bulk her up a little bit,
and then in January, the team at Rady Children's did
open heart surgery on her at six months old and
repaired the two holes in her heart of VSD and
an ASD, and that has provided a lot of efficiency
for her heart and ability to compensate for the other

(19:13):
issues she has. And so over the last year she
has now gotten her too removed. And if you just
looked at her, you'd be like, this is a normal,
regular little toddler. She looks great, she's talking, she's walking,
she's living life as any other.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
Seventy which is amazing.

Speaker 5 (19:27):
Yeah, it is amazing.

Speaker 10 (19:29):
And with the support of pharmaceutical drugs and the team
at Rady Children's she is in a very very stable
place right now.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
Well, that's amazing to hear. I'm so happy for you
and your family. But talk to me. Obviously you spent
quite a bit of time at Rady Children's Hospital. Talk
to me about the people that you've come across there.

Speaker 10 (19:49):
Yeah, I mean, the level of compassion and care is
five star. It is exceptional. There isn't a person that
I meet there that is not moving to the point
of of just unbelievable. They care so much about our family,
They care so much about your comfort, they care so
much about the children I speak specifically to the cardiac

(20:10):
team because we see them often. They know Francy, they
know our family, they know our nanny's, they know everybody,
and and they just connect with her. They connect with us,
they care when we call. There's a cardiom mouthy bat line.
I don't know if I'm allowed to say that. Day
or night, you call, you get, you get someone you know,
and that is like insane.

Speaker 6 (20:32):
I know it's insane, and for.

Speaker 10 (20:37):
A parent anytime, and uh and so you know that
that whoever picks up that phone, I know them, I
know them. And it's amazing to be able to have
that level of connectedness and that level of caring with
her team, and and that is something I am forever
grateful for.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
I mean, it's hard to say, but would fancy be
here if it weren't for Rady Children's Hospital.

Speaker 11 (20:59):
No.

Speaker 10 (21:00):
I think Francie is a is a very complex case.
She has two diagnoses that are not often paired together,
and so when they are, the track of how to
fix something is not actually well defined. And so we've
had to work really hard with their team, and they've
had to ask a lot of questions. We've had to
do a lot of you know, talking and debating about

(21:24):
how to proceed with her, and they just have nailed it.
They've nailed it for us, They've nailed it for our family.
Their surgical team is exceptional. And I have absolute confidence
in whatever Francie's future holds, because her story is not over.
At some point, this heart may not last a lifetime
and and we're very aware and prepared for that. And
I think if that happens while she's still in her childhood,

(21:45):
I have no doubt the ability of the team at
Rady to be able to care for her and complete
a successful transplant and have Franci live along in regular normally.

Speaker 11 (21:55):

Yeah, we got it.

I remember, keep it clean.

Speaker 5 (24:45):
Paxston's like six Yeah, I don't know if that is
a concern. Yeah yeah, yeaheah.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
So yes, we have Paxton in here, who has been
through Rady Children's Hospital, and of course Dad's here as well. Dad.
You know, I remember talking to you last year. We
got to meet you last year. You know, Paxon has
a remarkable stories. Just seeing him and how he looks,
you never would have known what he's gone through in
his journey through Rady Children's Hospital.

Speaker 12 (25:09):
Yeah, absolutely, and it's you know, it's all due to
that team that they that they have there, you know,
the comprehensive care that you can get Rady Children's.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
Absolutely, So tell us a little bit about Paxton and
what he went through when he really was when he
was born.

Speaker 12 (25:21):
Yeah, I mean we had a picture per picture perfect
pregnancy all up until about the thirty two week mark,
and then you know, some sort of some of the
ultrasounds kind of showed us that we were having some
issues right when he when he came out, they you know,
they turned to me and said, hey, we got to
rush him over to Rady children So we can't provide
that the hospital that we delivered at, we can't provide
the care here that he needs. So, you know, I

(25:42):
was certainly going back and forth between. Now my wife
was in one hospital, but Paxson was in Rady children
and rushed him over there with an ambulance. He ended
up having half the surgery in the first three days
of life.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
Can you imagine that, you know how little they are? Yeah,
and because their Children's Hospital, they are equipped to be
able to do surgery. You need smaller tools. I'm sure
everything like it.

Speaker 5 (26:05):
It seems like common sense, but you don't think the
size of the needles. They need the size of I mean,
every little tool. And that's what you know, these donations support,
which is amazing.

Speaker 12 (26:15):
Yeah, it's it's absolutely incredible the work that they can
do there on on all the tiny little babies. I
mean it's not only babies that come to full term,
but it's also babies that are premature that are in
not only the care that the doctors are getting there,
but the surgeons. I mean I remember his his first
surgeon very well, doctor Bickler. You know, the name sticks
in my head because he just he's made such a
profound impact on me and my family and saving.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
Us Hunt absolutely and so what was exactly going on
with him health wise? With it you had to do
all that.

Speaker 12 (26:44):
We had cardiac issues, so that was another uh uh,
Doctor doctor Nigro, the pediatric surgeon and our cardiologist at
the time, doctor saw you know, we're overseeing his cardiac care,
and then we had g I and urinary urinary issues
as well, and it was kind of a you know,
a big thing. But you know, one of the things
that they do there is they get the entire team together,
so it's a you know, it's not just one specialty,

(27:06):
you know, looking at the you know, looking at their
own problem and trying to fix their own thing, and
they all come together as a team and then work together.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
It's remarkable. And one of the things that I love
about Rady Children's Hospital is they obviously take care of
the kids, but they kind of take care of the
parents too, like the way you know, the the nurses
and the doctors, they they know that it's so hard
as us being parents to have our kids sick and
not well and all that stuff, so they take care
of us too.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
Yes, they do.

Speaker 12 (27:32):
Yeah, it's one of the things that makes you know
children's hospitals. But Rady's especially unique is that they they
have something called the Childlife Department. Not a lot of
people know about it. You know, you certainly know about
it if you go to Rady Children's but you know,
any big adult hospital. You know, you come in, you
talk to the doctor, you get what you need done
done and you know, believe right uh rags the children's hospital,

(27:53):
you know you have kids there, it's it's you know,
it's a scary time for even adults too, and all
a big time and parents. But they have a whole
aartment set aside that comes in and and access the
liaison between the kids and the doctors, the parents and
the doctors helping explain the procedures when they're going through
maybe something tough that they have to go through. They're
there trying to comfort the kids. And you know there

(28:14):
are a couple of you know, sad to say, but uh,
they're in the place they need to be.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
Some some long haul kids.

Speaker 12 (28:20):
There and there that are in there. Yeah, they try
to you know, keep up with their school works. So
they're not only there to help comfort the kids in
the short term, but they're there for the kids who
have to be there for months, helping them, you know,
making sure that they're keeping up with their developmental milestones.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
And you know a lot of the money that.

Speaker 12 (28:35):
Does raised today goes goes right to that.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
It's great. And look at this guy he's ready to go.
Passing is put on his headphones. He's is ready to
become a full flown DJ here personality on the radio.

We have Alex here from the Rady Children's Hospital Foundation. Alex,
we have you in every year. We love having you
stop by and tell us kind of what's going on
with Rady Children's Hospital. But specifically I want to mention

(32:50):
the Hero program because this is one of the cooler
things that you can do. You can become a hero
for just nineteen dollars a month and it you know,
you set it up, We'll set it up for you.
It's a whole thing and it's super easy. You don't
even have to think about it. You don't even have
to worry about it. But what does that And by
the way, I should mention that if you become a hero,
you will receive two tickets to Sea World San Diego

(33:12):
or sestame place so little at Bonus Water Park. Little
extra is I'm sorry, she gets awe you know how
she gets so Alex, talk to me about this hero
program because I know that this is one of the
cooler things that you guys do.

Speaker 16 (33:30):
You know, Rady Children's we provide truly excellent medical care
for all the kids that are there, but part of
that really needs to be all the ways that we
honor kids being kids. We need to be able to
celebrate their birthday. We need to be able to decorate
the hospital.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
Because it's not a normal hot You have to understand
if you've never been to Rady Children's Hospital, hospitals are scary.
I hospital to hospital, they're gross and they're like, yeah,
it's awful Rady. You walk in and you're like, oh,
this isn't scary because it's for kids.

Speaker 6 (33:59):
Well, it's so intensely Yeah, when my son Reid was
in there one of the many visits that we had,
but they gave him two toys while he was in
there because we were sitting in there for hours, right,
they bought him different flavored popsicles like stuff like that
that's just for kids that they have available is exactly what.

Speaker 16 (34:13):
It is, and we need to be able to do
that throughout the year. So you know, insurance will never
cover anything like that.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
Back covering popsicles are.

Speaker 16 (34:20):
No comforting items, nothing that's going to help mom out
to keep that child, you know, entertained while she's sitting
next to them for so long. So we really need
our community to do that, and they do a beautiful job.
And with those funds, especially from those monthly gifts, we're
able to build a program that will provide the diversion
and the enrichment that we need each month throughout the

(34:41):
entire year, not just over the holidays. So those monthly
donors do huge things, especially as we're building out these
amazing programs for our kids.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
Yeah, I say it every year that Rady Children's Hospital
is a place I hope you never have to see
because if you do, then obviously that means your kid
is sick. But you and go and just check it out.
That's one of the cool things about Rady's. There's tours
and things like that where you can go check it
out and whatever. But if you do go there, you're
so thankful that it is in existence because us parents,

(35:13):
you don't realize until you go there, like, oh, okay,
this is why Rady Children's Hospital is what it is.
We are massively lucky to live in San Diego to
have a Rady Children's Hospital, because there are some cities
that don't have anything like Rady Children's Hospital. So when
what you guys do and what you guys have is unbelievable.

Speaker 17 (35:30):
It is.

Speaker 16 (35:31):
We're so lucky as parents and San Diegans and a
lot of that is built by philanthropy. It's built by
our community, our San Diegans saying that we need this
hospital to be better and better every single year, and
the holiday season provides so many important gifts that we
use throughout the year. So we really need listeners to
continue doing the great work for us that they've always
done to make this hospital what it is and to

(35:52):
take care of the sick kids. This holiday season. We
have three hundred beds, three hundred kids that are sitting
there that really need something to look forward to.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Yeah, and you know we do this around Christmas time
because can you imagine if you're a little kid and
you're sick and you're in the hospital at Christmas, it's
like one of the worst things that could possibly be.
But Rady Children's Hospital they make sure that the kids
that it's not like a bad thing.

Speaker 6 (36:18):
At places decked out dons, it's decked out there's gifts everywhere, donations.

Speaker 16 (36:24):
Yeah, it's all our San Diegans deciding that we must
bring the holidays to them.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
Absolutely. Santa doesn't forget about the sick kids opposite, he
makes sure he stops by, hangs out. It's great. Yeah,
there's so many different programs and so many different things
that I always am blown away by just the fact
that you know, there's like an animal program where you
guys bring in like comfort dogs and things like that. Like,
there's so many things that you would never think about,

(36:50):
and it's all through these donations, right. It is.

Speaker 16 (36:53):
Yeah, that all the things that help patients have a
positive experience that are beyond the medical care are all philanthropy.
All the child life, our canine therapy dogs that we're
raising a lot of money for right now. Our arts
program trying to have a music program that is robust,
needs a lot of funding. We care about music very
much in the studio, and it is it's all part

(37:13):
of all the things that philanthropy will help us with
this coming year, and we're really doing a big ramp up,
so we need those funds and those sustainable monthly gifts
as moderate as they can be or as large as
they can be. They're going to get us there because
it's not a one time gifts that get it's there,
that gets us there on a regular basis.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
Yeah, please call and donate eight hundred two five eight
zero zero zero seven, or like we said, if you
want to just make it easy, just text the word
rock to five to one five five five. They'll take
care of it. Super easy to do. It's fantastic. Got
to give a big shout out to the Alex Morgan Foundation.

Speaker 1 (41:27):
Okay, how's it going? What's going on here? We have Lucas?
Are you Lucas? What's going on? Lucas? What's up? My man?
How you doing good? I like the Santa Ha Bro,
that's fantastic. Shouldn't you be in school? What are you doing?
Did you get it? You get it? Morning off? That's
what's up? Where do you go to school? What's up?

(41:48):
Shut out? That's awesome. Lucas is in here, who has
been through Rady Children's Hospital before, and uh, you know
you probably I'm not even sure if you remember what's
going on with your time at Rady Children's Hospital. Probably not,
but you're sitting here, so that's a good thing. And Amy,
you tell us a little bit about your time with
Lucas and at Rady Children's Hospital.

Speaker 18 (42:10):
So when Lucas was twenty three months, he'd had a
fever for a few days and suddenly it spiked up
to one hundred and six.

Speaker 1 (42:16):
Almost wait, that's not possible. I mean, how is it?
Can you go to one hundred and six?

Speaker 14 (42:21):
It was?

Speaker 1 (42:22):
It was pretty crazy.

Speaker 5 (42:23):
It was verrazy.

Speaker 3 (42:24):
I was at ninety eight a couple weeks ago, freaking out.

Speaker 5 (42:27):
Okay, you're supposed to be, that's okay.

Speaker 18 (42:33):
So we headed to the emergency department, and of course
Rady Children's being what it is, we knew we were
headed to the right place. They took really good care
of us, and we learned that he had a very
rare disease called Kawasaki disease.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
Kawasaki disease. So it's not a motorcycle this is an
actual disease.

Speaker 18 (42:51):
Exactly, and it is the leading cause of acquired heart
disease in children.

Speaker 1 (42:56):
You're kidding, Wow, Well that's so wild. What does it
give you? The fevers and things like that.

Speaker 18 (43:02):
It causes inflammation in the vessels around the heart, which
is what leads to the fever and rash and all
kinds of other symptoms, and it typically resolves itself. But
in some children they have damage to their cornary arteries.
And for Lucas, he did have some minor damage, but

(43:24):
because of the incredible doctors at Rady Children's he is
okay today.

Speaker 1 (43:29):
Well, it's fantastic. And Lucas is the same age as
my son Jack. So you guys, you know, seeing Lucas
sitting here is like, that's so awesome and it's so great.
But talk to us about the people at Rady Children's
Hospital that you come across, and they're just different.

Speaker 18 (43:45):
They are amazing, you know, and doctor Jane Burns, doctor
Adriana trimalet Our, nurse Joan Pancarey, they are an incredible team.
They are the leading experts in this disease around the world,
and we're so lucky to have them in our backyard.

Speaker 1 (43:59):
Well, what's crazy mean you remember their names like like
it was nothing like it was there like a family member.

Speaker 5 (44:05):
Yeah, yeah, totally.

Speaker 1 (44:06):
Honestly, And and that's how important. That's the kind of
impact they probably made on you and your family.

Speaker 18 (44:11):
Absolutely, they become part of our family. Everyone there, and
it's just an amazing place.

Speaker 1 (44:17):
Well, I mean, I would never if I'm looking at Lucas,
I would never know there was anything ever wrong with
the guy. You's sitting here, cool as ever? Right, what
kind of stuff for you into? Lucas?

Speaker 5 (44:27):
Baseball music? Oh, don't get Eddie's a coach. He has
four rules, he feels.

of you on on the baseball field. Okay. Number one

really one of the more remarkable ones. And I love
seeing that you guys come back every year to talk

(49:17):
about Rady. Yeah, talk to me a little bit about
Hudson in his journey here.

Speaker 2 (49:22):
Well, yeah, hud was born at Rady's Hospital. He was
born at Mary Birch. He was seven pounds, He had
a one pound tumor on his neck. His chance of
survival was less than one percent.

Speaker 4 (49:35):
Oh god, And yeah, it was pretty incredible.

Speaker 2 (49:38):
And he was a lot of firsts over there at
Mary Birch and Rady's and they just did incredible work.

Speaker 4 (49:44):
And we spent a year there.

Speaker 2 (49:46):
We had one of those hospital beds for a whole year,
and then we kept going back with therapies and procedures
and processes. And now he's here, seventeen years old, graduating
high school.

Speaker 1 (50:00):
Yes, it's crazy, this is crazy. What's what's the plan?
Do we have a plan for the future? Yes? What
are we doing?

Speaker 3 (50:08):
It's right in front of me.

Speaker 1 (50:09):
Yeah, he's going to be sports broadcasting.

Speaker 3 (50:12):
Yeah, this is the thing communications.

Speaker 1 (50:15):
That's yeah. I mean it's something that you've kind of
always been interested in, right, Yeah, that's great. Do it man?
Do it put you over on the sports station. Am
I allowed to give him a job? I don't know
if I'm a last.

Speaker 3 (50:27):
But yeah, no, that's great done.

Speaker 5 (50:33):
I don't think you can commit to that.

Speaker 1 (50:35):
I'm not really I'm not really in charge. But whatever, Well,
that's fantastic. So tell me a little bit about the people.
I mean, you spent so much time there, I'm sure
you really got to know everybody that works there.

Speaker 2 (50:47):
Yeah, those teams there, the doctors, the nurses, therapists, the
physician assistance.

Speaker 4 (50:53):
It's just they they one. They're so compassionate.

Speaker 2 (50:57):
Uh, they're just there's who doesn't want to be a
doctor here in San Diego, right, So you have the best,
you have some of the best doctors and nurses in
the country, and they explain everything.

Speaker 4 (51:07):
There's so many plans. They're just specialists.

Speaker 2 (51:10):
I mean the fact that we were first, we were
he was the first surviving stern acostamy.

Speaker 4 (51:15):
So they yeah, it was incredible.

Speaker 2 (51:17):
So they cracked his chest and intubated him through his chest.
He's the first patient to ever survived that.

Speaker 4 (51:24):
He was the first surviving.

Speaker 2 (51:26):
He was the first exit procedure, which is they they
take him out of the womb, but keep him attached
to try and get his airway going.

Speaker 1 (51:34):
And they couldn't find that.

Speaker 4 (51:38):
He was the first one.

Speaker 2 (51:39):
Yeah, and they couldn't find strachia, so they had to
crack him.

Speaker 4 (51:44):
So they did stern acostome. Then they did about a twenty.

Speaker 2 (51:47):
Three hour surgery to resect the tumor, get that tumor off,
and then three hours and then it was just a
year of recovery and therapies and and just you know,
different different procedures. I think he had something like twenty
three surgeries there while we were there.

Speaker 1 (52:04):
I mean, it was just I mean, it just go
again goes to show you Hudson is here because we
have a Rady Children's Hospital here in San Diego.

Speaker 4 (52:12):
It's a complete gift for this region, in this area. Yeah,
it's an.

Speaker 2 (52:16):
Incredible, incredible place, incredible work that they're doing there, and
just such a group of profession.

Speaker 1 (52:21):
And I also got to imagine in your line of work,
you've probably seen kids who have you know, been injured
or something in the water and they get lifted right
to Rady, right.

Speaker 4 (52:31):
Oh, yeah, they go right over there.

Speaker 2 (52:32):
We go over there when anything happens at the beach
with a kid, we take them over there. And that's
the thing is, I'm in the team business, right. I
have an incredible team of life savers here. What they're
doing over there, the teamwork, it's the leadership.

Speaker 4 (52:47):
I mean, it's just incredible.

Speaker 1 (52:49):
And so we're talking all about the medical aspect of it,
but there's a different aspect about Rady Children's Hospital that
I always like to talk about because you don't think
about it as a hospital. You're like, oh, it's a hospital.
It's different. Those people that work there, they're like angels.
I don't understand how they do it.

Speaker 4 (53:04):
One hundred percent. We just had to light the way event.

Speaker 2 (53:06):
And right before that event, we got to go and
give out some lights to the to the kids and
the patients there, and I ran into two of his
primary nur no way and just incredible, and we locked
eyes and we knew each other immediately.

Speaker 1 (53:19):
He spent that much time there. I can't even imagine much.

Speaker 2 (53:21):
Time there, but it was just incredible. And the one
young lady, she uh, she just started and decided to
be Hudson's primary nurse. So whenever she worked her shift,
she would work with hud.

Speaker 1 (53:32):
And seventeen years later, she's still Yeah, she's.

Speaker 2 (53:35):
A vent now wow, looking at her to be a specialist.
And that's that succession planning and that teamwork aspect that's
going on.

Speaker 1 (53:43):
Over just yeah, it's kids like Hudson. Is why we
love doing our Rady Children's give its on eight hundred
two five eight zero zero zero seven. So Hudson, whenever
you're in here, I like to get some sports break
there we go. So looking at the NFL, So we'll
start an NFL first, looking at the NFL season, who
do we like? Who do we think may have a
chance to win the Super Bowl? Super Bowl?

Speaker 17 (54:05):
I mean you might say this is like a boring pick,
but I mean the Chiefs.

Speaker 1 (54:10):
I don't know how he hates the Chiefs, but they're winning.
I mean what do you want to say? I'm not sure.
Do you think they'd be the first team to ever
win three in a row? Do you think that's the possibility.

Speaker 17 (54:28):
I think it is a possibility. I mean you think
of Pat Mahomes and you think of Travis Cocy, you
think of Chris Jones on their defense, they I mean
the refs too.

Speaker 1 (54:44):
It does help.

Speaker 17 (54:45):
For sure getting away with.

Speaker 1 (54:49):
Four games. It's definitely part of it. I mean you know.
I mean, you gotta be a little lucky or other.
Thank good. So, Chiefs, what do you think about the lines?
Do you think they're the best team in the NFC?

Speaker 3 (55:00):
Yeah, yeah, easily? Or the Eagles.

Speaker 1 (55:03):
Yeah, it's gonna be interesting.

Speaker 3 (55:05):
I mean, gotta hate the Eagles.

Speaker 1 (55:07):
Yeah, yeah, so that would be a miserable super Bowl
for you.

Speaker 8 (55:10):
Well, they did remember Eagles Patriots a few years ago.
That was pretty brutal. Eagles Chiefs was a few years ago.
I would really like to see because my Niners aren't
doing so great this year. I would really like to
see a Bill's Lions because it'd be somebody new. Yeah,
that would be fun.

Speaker 17 (55:24):
I mean, but can Josh Allen get over the hump?

Speaker 3 (55:27):
Is the question?

Speaker 4 (55:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (55:28):
Question. We have to tune in to Hudson's show to
find out if that's the case. So please, let's let's
get these phone lines going right now eight hundred two
five eight zero zero zero seven or text the word
rock to five to one five five five. It is

actually get to see your names and things like that.
So again, thank you for everybody that is called the donated.

Speaker 3 (56:33):
One hundred pie.

Speaker 8 (56:34):
But what's crazy is that you have a laptop in
front of you with the ticker that runs like a
ticker that just replays the same thing over and over
and over again.

Speaker 3 (56:43):
So you could see it. She likes to write it
down though, writing.

Speaker 5 (56:46):

in studio. Now get ready, this is a pretty big deal.
You may have heard his name over the years. You
may have actually heard him on the show before. Maybe

(57:44):
we are, of course, referring to my former roommate and
one of my best friends for twenty five years.

Speaker 5 (57:50):
Yes, be up.

Speaker 3 (57:54):
In the house ladies and gentle good morning.

Speaker 14 (57:56):
The show here is very famous.

Speaker 1 (58:00):
H Yeah, he does. I flipped the switch so he
actually speaks English. Beat Ups tells me that whenever we
play that clip, he will literally get multiple phone calls
and texts of like, hey, you're on the show again today.

Speaker 7 (58:13):
Well it's because you guys usually shred me afterwards and
kind of like put me through the ringer a little bit.
That's when people are like, oh, they were crushing you today.
I'm just surprised you're speaking English speaking.

Speaker 14 (58:23):
Hello, I speak so I can interpret. Yeah, he does. Yes, So, yes,
Brian Wilson hanging out here. Some some say fifth member
of the show. He says, I don't know. There's a
lot of history behind this. I'm sure there's some p
ones out there that would agree.

Speaker 1 (58:41):
I don't know, but yes, you know, Brian, being one
of my best friends over the years, I am well
aware of the situation that is going on and has
been going on for years with your son Graham. And
so obviously you and your wife and your son have
been through Rady Children's Hospital for many, many times and

(59:02):
many many reasons. So you do like to come on
and prop out Rady because of your time there.

Speaker 7 (59:07):
Right, no doubt, it's a It's a place that I
think we've spent a little too much time at it.

Speaker 3 (59:12):
Honestly, it's hard.

Speaker 7 (59:13):
But as I always tell people, I hope you never
have to experience it, but if you do, we are
so fortunate and blessed to have it in our backyard.

Speaker 1 (59:20):
And I heard you're a San Diego native.

Speaker 7 (59:22):
I'm born and raised in San Diego. I've heard wait
a minute, Marrimasa High Schoolum as well. There it is
shout out to the Mecca.

Speaker 1 (59:32):
Brian Wallways introduced himself as a San Diego Native. Yes,
and so being in San Diego. This is one of
the more important and impressive things about our city is
that we have Rady Children's Hospital.

Speaker 7 (59:44):
Absolutely, I think you're lucky when you talk to people
who have who've come through there or that are staying there.
When you're there, a lot of people come from outside
of San Diego, I mean not just outside of California. Yeah,
and that's the part that's pretty humbling. When you're there
and you're staying the night and you've been there now
for nights days rolling the nights, and you've kind of

(01:00:05):
been there for four or five days.

Speaker 3 (01:00:07):
You're walking around and.

Speaker 7 (01:00:08):
You're seeing the different rooms, and there's there's always kind
of this moment of humbleness that makes you go, wow,
this is this is really surreal. Because my son's obviously
here for a reason and not doing well. But there's
some kids in there by themselves because their parents are
working at the same time, or they only have one parent,
or the kid just needs to be secluded because he's

(01:00:31):
got some you know, infectious disease situation going on.

Speaker 1 (01:00:35):
It is.

Speaker 3 (01:00:37):
It takes a lot out of you to be honest
with you.

Speaker 1 (01:00:39):
I mean, yeah, I got God bless your wife's out toode.
Well that's what I was gonna say. Yeah, I mean,
obviously you're a great dad and you're there and you're
there for your kids, but uh uh, you know, when
you're a mom, it's kind of different. And I'm not
a mom, but you guys are, and you guys can
talk on it that you're not leaving your kid's side
no matter what. Like you know, sometimes us dad's you know,

(01:01:00):
maybe we have to go to work, or maybe we're
in charge of the other kids, like Brian's got three
kids and so somebody's got to be there. And Sarah
and leaving right like she's spent weeks there before.

Speaker 7 (01:01:11):
My wife has never not spent the night, I mean
maybe one night in Graham's life. He was diagnosed with
crones at six. The first time we were in the hospital,
he spent gosh. Now, well, he was granted a make
a wish when he was twelve, because I know at
that point he'd been in children at least one hundred
plus maybe one hundred and fifty days. Oh wow.

Speaker 3 (01:01:32):
I think he's probably close to a full.

Speaker 7 (01:01:33):
Calendar year of when he how much time he's probably
spent in there, or at least, you know, three hundred days.
My wife has been there every single day because she
doesn't want to miss anything from the doctors.

Speaker 3 (01:01:44):
It's not and she doesn't trust me. I think that's
probably what it is.

Speaker 1 (01:01:49):
Yeah, I would he would probably still be talking to
the doctor right now.

Speaker 3 (01:01:52):
Yeah, I was a catcher.

Speaker 1 (01:01:57):
What does that have to do with it.

Speaker 3 (01:01:58):
I did connect the dots.

Speaker 7 (01:01:59):
I did like connecting THEE a little bit, and I
love the connect the dots. But I would say go
back to my wife in that sense where she's with
the GI Department and doctors kind of coming and going.
She's the common denominator though, of always for his care,
Like she could explain every biologic he's been on, the
different things that he has to take the regulation of

(01:02:19):
where it's at, whether it had an MRI, whether he's
had you know, X rays lately, or anything else that's happened.
And I always tell people that rady is special and
the doctors are great, but they speak to you in
doctor's terms. I mean, honestly, they're not. They're not there
to make you feel good. They're there to try to
help your kid, and.

Speaker 1 (01:02:36):
Such a bedside manner is better than a normal doctor. Yes,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 7 (01:02:40):
But but doctors in general, they leave a lot to
be desired to times. It's it's it's the nurses. They
are angels. I mean, honestly, I've I've never really had
this big religious kind of background. I truly believe to
be a nurse, you you're an angel, like there's something
They're cut from the special cloth. They're the ones to
help you rationalize, a sympathize, the empathy they show all

(01:03:03):
the stuff that they have, and then the love they
show for your for your son.

Speaker 3 (01:03:07):
My sons still to this day.

Speaker 7 (01:03:08):
Their very first time he ever went in for any
type of procedure was an endoscopy, and this was like
day ten of us being in there, and he came
back and there was this green and yellow alligator on
his bed. He has had that with him. My son's
eighteen years old. Now Graham's driving. I mean, he's a
senior in high school, right crazy. He takes that with
him still to this day every time he goes to

(01:03:30):
the hospital and it's his name is Tai. And the
reason why it's time is the nurse group was Team
Yellow to this day. And honestly, that's the stuff that
makes me get all like worked up because I see
some of these nurses still there and they'll go, what's up,
g or what you know, and they'll talk to him
and we've seen him over the years and now they
have kids, and that's that like community bond that they

(01:03:51):
provide without even knowing that they're doing it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:52):
Oh that's so true. And when you are a parent
and you're staying the night there, they don't just go
are a good life, see you later, like they make
you comfortable. They make sure you're okay, all that stuff
which you don't get at a normal hospital.

Speaker 7 (01:04:07):
I can't speak for everybody, but I know, like my lifetime,
it was like, oh man, I want to I want
to make an impact. I was gonna be a professional
baseball player and that felt way short. Hey, then I'm
gonna try to break into media. I'm gonna go work
in d span some day. Oh wait, that's in Bristol, Connecticut.
Well then you yeah, then you finally get into radio,
and like it's still a part of who you are.
I don't know about you guys. When I had kids,

(01:04:27):
nothing else matters. Like I mean, this is my job
and I love it, and I'm so thankful for the
friends and the relationships that I built over the years.

Speaker 3 (01:04:34):
But that's been a work in progress.

Speaker 7 (01:04:39):
We have we have deep roots there, but I would say,
but your kids are are the most of that's your legacy.

Speaker 3 (01:04:46):
There's nothing else.

Speaker 7 (01:04:46):
And so when you're like, especially me, like when you're
helpless and you can help, you're at the you're at
the fingertips of these doctors. You're you're you're hanging on
every breath, and you know, like my wife and I
really like found a system, and my mother law has
been involved. It's like this process and it's almost become
too comfortable. Whenever he goes in, it's like, Okay, hey,
I'm gonna do this. We're gonna have this. And now

(01:05:07):
the kids are getting older, so we're able to, you know,
manage a whole lot better. But my son is a trooper.
He's very stoic, and I credit radio a lot for
it because they've just they've given him a place where
he feels comfortable and safe and there's a lot of
trust there. And even though they've we've gone through different
doctors over the years, they have the absolute greatest intentions

(01:05:28):
of helping you.

Speaker 1 (01:05:28):
What's so interesting that you know that I go back
to what you mentioned earlier, the GI department. It's so
interesting because all the different parents that we've talked to
this morning, they all have similar stories, but different departments.
All the departments, whether it be cardiology, whether it be cancer,
whether it be GI, whatever it is, they all are
saying the kind of the exact same words that you're saying.

(01:05:51):
Is like, no, it's that department that we really love,
and but they all have that same experience. It's it's
when you're younger, you don't know. It's like, hey, you
go see your doctor, it's like your primate. But as
you get older, there's the different types and fields that
you go into. When we went in our primary doctor Wilson,
who recently passed during COVID, an amazing man. Over fifty
percent of the staff at Rady had to work for

(01:06:13):
him at one point in time, like he was a
very senior statesman in San Diego. So he walks in
and everyone knows him. He'd already done all these checks
and bounces, so when we came in, they'd already you know,
squashed a lot of things. But they called us a
house case, meaning that Graham remember that show house. They
didn't know what it was. At one point they diagnosed
him with mono. I'm like, the dude six, he's not
making out with people, Like.

Speaker 3 (01:06:32):
What's going on like this?

Speaker 5 (01:06:34):
You can get it other ways. You don't have to
just make out.

Speaker 7 (01:06:36):
Right, But I mean, it was just one of those
situations where it was like bizarre. So you you literally
meet with every every day was like a different you
know field. And I remember when hematology came in and
I'm just like, you know me, I'm emotional, dude, I'm
like bawling and I go, thank you so much. I

that's where it was and they ended up being crones
And you're like, so, what's crones. Well, it's part of
the inflammatory ball disease. It's there's basically ulcer of colitis
and there's crones and crones is anywhere from your mouth
all the way through your anus where you basically, yeah,
I know, a little intense, but it jars. That's why

(01:07:20):
I try to be real professional. It's hard.

Speaker 3 (01:07:22):
Sometimes we have some buds in the room.

Speaker 7 (01:07:23):

a very special guest back in studio. She is making
her grand return to our radio station. Is He is
back in the house, and of course Monica Mom is
back in as well. We've got to known you over
the years. You guys have come in because you were

(01:11:09):
at Rady Children's Hospital before, right, is he yep? Yep?
So Monica tell us a little bit about Isy and
her journey through Rady Children's Hospital.

Speaker 21 (01:11:18):
Well, I is, he just turned nine last Tuesday.

Speaker 1 (01:11:20):
Got a year and thank you.

Speaker 21 (01:11:23):
We were actually impatient nine years ago during this time.
I did my first interview during that time, Is that right?

Speaker 11 (01:11:29):
Uh huh?

Speaker 21 (01:11:29):
Because Izzy was born, we thought healthy. Fastward to day
two of life, and her lips looked a little gray,
and so they gave her oxygen and with full oxygen on,
she's only satting at sixty percent. So they knew something
was wrong, and they knew something was wrong with their heart.
So the ZECH team came picked her up where we
were at Grossmont, took us over to Rady Choln's Hospital.
I followed the ambulance day two after giving birth to

(01:11:51):
my first child. As soon as we got there, they
made sure that my husband and I were fine. They
kept us informed and she was diagnosed with the heart
defense called transposition of the greater artery TGA, and she's
gonna need heart surgery at some point.

Speaker 1 (01:12:04):
It's so crazy, we're here, we hear these medical terms
and as you know, just somebody who doesn't know anything
about that kind of stuff. It's so funny how parents
know exactly what they're called, because you've probably heard it
for years, and even if you heard it for the
first time, you're like, oh, okay, I'm gonna remember that
and look it up and all that kind of stuff.
But yeah, the team over at Rady they're incredible, not

(01:12:27):
only for you know, what they do medically, but just
what they do for us as parents to eat and
for the kids. Yes, it's it's wild and it's it's
fantastic what they are doing. So is he You're you're
good now, right, you look, you look fantastic. You're all
grown up. Now you know what kind of stuff do
you like to do?

Speaker 13 (01:12:43):
Dancing?

Speaker 5 (01:12:44):
Play softball?

Speaker 1 (01:12:45):
Now? Think about that she had a heart problem and
is fully physical and active. Is that that's great?

Speaker 21 (01:12:52):
We didn't know, you know, at that point, what her
future looked like. We didn't know if she would be
able to play sports or singing and dance. And because
of Rady Chone's Hospital, she's able to do all those
things without any limitations. No football, they said, no football.

Speaker 5 (01:13:08):
For anybody.

Speaker 21 (01:13:09):
I agree because of Rady, Sadie being her life. She's
here today and we're here to help save other children's
lives and to encourage you to donate and help a friend,
a neighbor, a family member.

Speaker 1 (01:13:20):
You never know, you never know who needs Rady Children's Hospital.
It could be you someday if you don't have kids,
and maybe at some point you might want to have kids,
and it just it is important and it's awesome that
we have that here in San Diego. So, Monica, take
me back to the minute when you noticed the lips,
because that was it you.

Speaker 21 (01:13:38):
That saw, did not It was a nurse at grossmart
her name was Ashley. In full circle when I had
my second daughter, she came in to do her hearing test,
because that's when it happened, and it was like a
full circle moment. But she noticed it, and I thank
God every day that she found that. But she looked
a little gray and we didn't notice because you know, postpartum,
you're in that room, it's quiet, it's dark.

Speaker 1 (01:13:57):
Well, yeah, you don't expect, you know, you expect all
I have this perfect baby.

Speaker 11 (01:14:00):
You know.

Speaker 21 (01:14:03):
So when we got to Rady, even when she was
at Rady and hooked up all the monitors. She still
looked really healthy, and she she did phenomenal through the surgery.
She had heart surgery at six days old. We spent
a total of two and a half weeks there and
we were able to come home right before Christmas, December twentieth.
We made it home, which was, you know, really important.
I wanted to be home for the holidays with my baby.

Speaker 1 (01:14:23):
Yeah, that's great. Well, speaking of Christmas, is what do
you want this? What do we want for Christmas?

Speaker 5 (01:14:28):
What's on the list?

Speaker 1 (01:14:30):

Jean, Okay, I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (01:14:40):

She really is an old soul. She's so mature.

Speaker 5 (01:14:50):

Ulie joining us this morning. What a name, Angulie, So
that's O What origin is that?

Speaker 9 (01:16:45):
It's Indian.

Speaker 3 (01:16:46):
That's really cool name, very pretty name.

Speaker 1 (01:16:49):
So you and your son Kayden have been through. I
heard Rady Children's Hospital before and tell us his story
a little bit.

Speaker 9 (01:16:58):
So about eight years ago, Cayden was diagnosed at the
age of ten with besat leukemia. It basically happened overnight.
He was healthy, he was active, he was an athlete.
We honestly didn't ever even think about Rady Children's Hospital
until we ended up in the er one night and
the next morning we were told that he had cancer

(01:17:18):
and he was going to live at the hospital for
a minimum of one month and not go back to
school for at least a year. And our lives were
just turned upside down.

Speaker 1 (01:17:27):
Oh yeah, as a parent you hear that news. What
was going through your mind at.

Speaker 9 (01:17:32):
That time, complete denial, Just could not believe that fear.
But the doctors and nurses and the whole team at
Rady Children's explained everything really well. The timelines what to expect,
gave us a lot of time to sit with it.
And you know, we just felt like they took it

(01:17:55):
from us and said we've got this, We're going to
take care of you and your family, and they did.
It still feels like the safest place when we walk
through the doors. We feel like everyone there cares about us.
We spent three and a half years going through treatment
there and thought we were done, and then at the
age of fifteen, just three years ago, Cayden relapsed and

(01:18:17):
then we really realized the cutting edge technology that Rady offers.
Because when you relapse, you don't go through the standard chemo.
Oh really, you need new things like car tea, which
Rady was one of the first hospitals to be providing that.
It was something that wasn't approved when Cayden was first diagnosed,
but now it was so Kayden got this cutting edge treatment.
He got a bone marrow transplant from his sister two

(01:18:38):
and a half years ago. Wow, and yeah, we still
spend you.

Speaker 3 (01:18:41):
Know, yeah, painful, right, Yeah, it.

Speaker 1 (01:18:46):
Was a lot.

Speaker 9 (01:18:47):
It was overwhelming for her, but she was happy to
do it and Rady took just as good care of her.
She had her own advocate, she had someone explaining things
to her and making sure that she was comfortable with
the process and what was happening. I truly feel like
our lives would not be the same if we didn't
live here.

Speaker 1 (01:19:03):
I have a daughter in a sound. So brothers and
sisters they always, you know, butt heads, they're always gonna fight.
If you are, Kayden, I don't know that you have
any bone, no pun intended to pick with your sister anymore.
Like she kind of wins at that point, right which
thinks As a brother, I'm like, man, I can't. I
can't really say anything.

Speaker 3 (01:19:22):
You got to sit down and watch TV. She's watched something.
You gotta just she gets it.

Speaker 1 (01:19:27):
And again like, and if you're the sister, I'm pulling
that card all the time. I saved your life, bro
shot I get the last cinnamon.

Speaker 5 (01:19:36):
Well, sorry, you got myself.

Speaker 1 (01:19:39):
I get everything. I get everything else. That's that's how
I would roll. So again, you know you can't you
kind of mentioned it. You may have happy, healthy children
right now, which is awesome, and obviously that's fantastic, and
that's what we're aiming for for everybody in the world.
But you never know when this sort of thing can
happen to you and you're gonna need Rady Children's Hospital.
That's why we do the give ath on for a

(01:20:00):
any kid out there that's sick. We don't want that
to happen. We want them to have the best care.
And the people that work there, they're the difference. Really.

Speaker 9 (01:20:07):
The people are absolutely amazing. They really make you feel
like you're their number one priority and they think about everything,
not just the medical care, but your mental well being.
And you know, they had a child life specialist that
went to my kids elementary school and explained to Caiden's
class why he wasn't there and.

Speaker 3 (01:20:24):
What was going on, and that I've never heard.

Speaker 9 (01:20:27):
It was amazing. I wouldn't have even thought that something
we needed.

Speaker 1 (01:20:30):
But that's important. Where's Kaiden. We're to go in there
and explain it.

Speaker 9 (01:20:36):
Yeah, you can't catch it, and that you know, he
didn't get it. We were on a trip, but right
before it happened, he didn't get it. There some of
them asked if he had smoked, because that's what their association.

Speaker 3 (01:20:46):
Sad.

Speaker 9 (01:20:52):
Yeah, So it was really great for Kate because then
he was welcomed with open arms back to school because.

Speaker 1 (01:20:57):
As their questions, again, those little touches and of some
things you don't think about which is great. So please
call and donate whatever you can for our Rady Children's
giveth on eight hundred two five eight zero zero zero seven,
or like I said, you can easily do it. Just
text the word rock two five to one five five
five more of our give youth on next on the
show on Rock with five three. That's audio Slave on

(01:21:23):
the show, it's Rockquano five to three. We are in
the middle of our iHeart Rady Children's givethon going on
right now. You can call and donate eight hundred two
five eight zero zero zero seven, or you can text

And I gotta tell you this is very exciting because
we have a legend in studio with us right now.

(01:21:47):
Alex Morgan herself is here with us. And this isn't
really cool because Alex, your foundation is doing a match
of when people call and donate up to sixty thousand dollars,
which is incredible. So I mean, if you call in

this is the time really to call and donate.

Speaker 19 (01:22:06):
Right absolutely, please do and it's an honor to be
here with you guys. The Foundation is matching up to
sixty thousand, so let's let's get it rolling.

Speaker 1 (01:22:15):
It is fantastic. And Alex, you know you're you're now retired,
you've really let yourself go and many.

Speaker 5 (01:22:23):
Well, yeah, she's actually pregnant.

Speaker 1 (01:22:26):
I shouldn't. I shouldn't have said that. Far from that,
you look fantastic. Ye, how exciting. This is your number two, right.

Speaker 16 (01:22:36):
This is number two.

Speaker 19 (01:22:37):
Yes, So we have we have a lot of experience
with Rady Children's which is a big piece of why
I'm here.

Speaker 1 (01:22:43):
Supernestly, as parents, you know, you never really want to
go there, but when you do, you're like, Wow, this
place is unbelievable.

Speaker 19 (01:22:49):
Unbelievable. Yes, but another one on the way. So a
couple more months, I'm.

Speaker 1 (01:22:54):
Gonna knock on wood that everything's good. That you don't
have to go to Rady Children's Hospital, but so you
have had to go to before.

Speaker 19 (01:23:01):
I have, yes, twice in a week for my daughter.
So yeah, they gave just the best care. The added
services they have and patient experiences is unmatched.

Speaker 1 (01:23:12):
It really is. And talk to me about your foundation,
because that's so cool that you guys are involved this year.

Speaker 19 (01:23:17):
Yeah, absolutely, I launched my foundation here in San Diego
about a year and a half ago, and we have
had donation almost or over a million in donations since.
And one of our first beneficiars was Rady Children's. So
we've done we've activated a lot with them. We're building
out the Confident Closet in collaboration with the Rolf Banerska

(01:23:41):
Legacy Foundation, and that will be at the Chadwick Center
for Kids and Families to help kids who have gone
through trauma getting back on their feet and a lot
of other things and activating with moms and babies as well,
and so Rady Children's is just a fantastic partner.

Speaker 1 (01:23:59):
Yeah, it's really cool. You know what was one of
the coolest things is, you know, you came in here
and Izzy, who was in here earlier, you gave her
a soccer ball and you signed it. Seeing the look
on these little girl's faces when they meet you, that's
never got to get old, right, I mean, that's pretty cool.

Speaker 19 (01:24:14):
It's pretty awesome. And now having retired, you know, I'm
not in front of you know, young girls and playing
every weekend, so it makes a lot more special. And
now that my daughter's almost five years old, I could
just see like all these little girls, and I see
her in these little girls and just how how just
impressed she You know how my daughter would just like

(01:24:37):
see someone that she wants to be or see and
just be so like impressed by someone. And it's cool
to just like be that person right now and my
daughter kind of see that as you standing.

Speaker 1 (01:24:50):
Are you almost going to sort of transition to being
an ambassador for the sport or what's what's the plan
here in retirement?

Speaker 19 (01:24:58):
There are a lot of plans in place, but having
retired only three months ago, yeah, just a lot of opportunities.
I'm also pregnant.

Speaker 1 (01:25:10):
You know, there's a lot of thing board in your retirement.
Well what do retire people do?

Speaker 3 (01:25:16):
My dad retired does nothing. Don't do that.

Speaker 1 (01:25:19):
Don't do that.

Speaker 3 (01:25:19):
You got to you gotta do something.

Speaker 19 (01:25:21):
I have a lot going on and I will definitely
be staying in sport in some capacity.

Speaker 1 (01:25:26):
Now, are you going to stay local here? Do you
like San Diego? What do you think? I love it.

Speaker 19 (01:25:31):
That's the reason that I signed with the team when
the expansion team came to San Diego. My husband's from Tijuana,
San Diego area. We always wanted our kids to say
that they were from San Diego. So having the opportunity
to live and play here before I before I retired
was a special and unique situation. So we are here
to stay.

Speaker 1 (01:25:50):
Oh good, it's good. What do you think about Snapdragon
as a stadium? Was that pretty? Is it good stadium
for soccer?

Speaker 9 (01:25:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 16 (01:25:58):
It is really good.

Speaker 19 (01:25:59):
I mean greight location, and you know, I played in
Qualcomm in twenty sixteen with the national team and so
to have that now snap Dragon and beautiful, newly built,
it's awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:26:11):
It's all. It's kind of when they built it, it's
kind of for soccer. I know that the Aztecs play
there and you know, some different events, but they sort
of built it around, you know, bringing the San Diego
I see here, the Wave and things like that, so
it's sort of a soccer stadium here totally.

Speaker 19 (01:26:25):
It's it's multipurpose, but I think it's a good size
and the fact that we've been able to sell out
thirty two thousand with the Wave is I mean, it's
just testament to this community. It's awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:26:36):
Yeah, we love soccer. It was a bit of a
soccer player when I was growing up too.

Speaker 3 (01:26:40):
About that, and you know, as a er, is that
what he wants here.

Speaker 1 (01:26:44):
Yeah, smart as a keeper, Alex. You know, it's a
little bit different. But you know I had some skills
back then, but you know, I just didn't pursue what
I ended up doing. This sort of the thing.

Speaker 5 (01:26:53):
Yeah, it's another one.

Speaker 1 (01:26:54):
Yeah, otherwise you never know.

Speaker 19 (01:26:55):
When you were twelve, you want a different direction.

Speaker 3 (01:26:57):
I really did.

Speaker 1 (01:26:58):
I really did. My life took me in a different direction.

Speaker 5 (01:27:01):
Ridiculous. But you're living in San Diego for a long
time place this relationship.

Speaker 3 (01:27:10):
I mean, I'm assuming your daughter.

Speaker 8 (01:27:13):
You hope she plays soccer, right, I wonder I always
think this, But like you get like legendary athletes like
you come in and then you have like a dad
that's a coach.

Speaker 3 (01:27:21):
It's gonna be. It has to be.

Speaker 8 (01:27:23):
It's gonna be so hard for you to Hey, I
know what I'm talking about. You don't, but but you
don't want to piss off the coach lady.

Speaker 19 (01:27:30):
Yeah yeah, I mean she says she wants to be
a professional soccer player and a professional tennis player, and
but she's really not great at soccer.

Speaker 3 (01:27:42):
So I love the honesty.

Speaker 19 (01:27:46):
She's really young potential. But I'm just sitting back and
I'm like Oh my goodness. She prefers picking flowers Florence.
She wears her fairy wings to the games, and I'm like,
you do you.

Speaker 1 (01:28:00):

(01:29:02):
five five five man. We have a great family in
here right now. They said they were listening to us
driving in this morning, right Alison.

Speaker 6 (01:29:09):
Oh yeah, I love it.

Speaker 1 (01:29:11):
That's fair.

Speaker 19 (01:29:11):
You're on the preset.

Speaker 1 (01:29:12):
Oh, thank you, number one on the preset. Okay, you
make sure you know. I love that when we see
people that have been in here before, because it makes
me feel good that you guys still want to get
back to Rady Children's Hospital. That's why you guys come
in and really, you know, talk about it.

Speaker 11 (01:29:33):
Right.

Speaker 22 (01:29:33):
Oh are you kidding me? I can't go into any
of the seasons without thinking how different the season would
be if I didn't end up at Rady's Children's Hospital,
how different our family would look, and how it would
just feel very, very different. I don't even like actually thinking.

Speaker 1 (01:29:48):
Yeah, it is hard, I mean, but but look at this,
this young gentleman sitting right here with his headphones on. Bradford.
I want that exact outfit. I'm gonna wear that if
I can get that shirt and tie. You look sharp, buddy.

Speaker 3 (01:30:00):
I like it.

Speaker 1 (01:30:01):
It looks good. So tell me about Bradford, because he
had one of the crazier stories coming into this world
that I've ever heard of.

Speaker 22 (01:30:10):
Yeah, it's pretty rare and it's really obscure, and it
usually doesn't happen unless you're like a farm worker in
a third world country. And what I'm talking about is
flesh eating disease.

Speaker 1 (01:30:21):
Were you a farm worker in a third world country?

Speaker 22 (01:30:24):
Last time I checked in Sanita's mom and a minivan
didn't count for that fick?

Speaker 1 (01:30:28):
Make sure?

Speaker 6 (01:30:29):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 22 (01:30:31):
And when he was born he was perfect healthy, and
it's sevent days old. I noticed his umbilical cord and
his abdomen had this red ring on it that just
didn't look right. My mom gut was going off, and
we rushed him to our pediatrician to take a look
and she said, I'm calling it in. Had to the
emergency room. And we head down to the emergency room

(01:30:53):
and on our way there, that's when the CHET team,
which is basically the Rady's Hospital on Wills, was on
its way to come get Bradford and they got there,
swooped him up and started working on him immediately, and
within thirty minutes of arriving to Radies, he was in
his first surgery and the first surgery had to remove

(01:31:15):
thirty percent of his whole abdomen, so that skin, my muscle, fascia,
everything fat, and yeah, I thought that was pretty horrific
on a seven.

Speaker 5 (01:31:25):
Day year old. Yeah, it's a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:31:27):
I mean you hear flesh eating disease and you go,
that's not even possible, Like how act you know, like,
how did they figure that out? I mean, any of
that stuff is just so wild.

Speaker 3 (01:31:40):
It was wild.

Speaker 22 (01:31:40):
And then the worst part of that was I thought
it couldn't get worse, and you know, it always does
a little bit.

Speaker 9 (01:31:47):
Yea.

Speaker 22 (01:31:47):
So they came back and they said, we didn't get
it all.

Speaker 6 (01:31:50):
We had to go back in.

Speaker 22 (01:31:51):
Yeah, and this is ten hours into us being at Rady's.
I didn't even really know what was going on yet
what to do. My life was swirling. I was just
in you know, I don't know where am I, you know, totally,
And they said we have to go back in and
this time it's a quality of life issue. We can
only cut so much. Yeah much, and we've already taken

(01:32:12):
thirty percent, Oh my god. And they said that they
really could only do about sixty more percent before it
is you're right, yeah, And they ended up having to
do that sixty percent.

Speaker 15 (01:32:24):
Wow.

Speaker 11 (01:32:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:32:26):
So how much time did you spend that Raidy Children's Hospital?

Speaker 22 (01:32:29):
Total time it radies for us, you would think would
be actually longer, but this is how incredible the care
was for him. We were there for three months and
in that time he had a total of ten surgeries.
He was touched and I have them all written down
in a log. Everyone that came into his room or
put hands on him or even eyes on him. Over
one hundred different specialists, one hundred different practitioners from different

(01:32:51):
expertise neurology. He had, He had seizures. At one point,
his whole body was in a system failure. After that,
it was it was a game of survivor, and we
didn't know if we'd get one more minute, one more hour,
one more day, one more week. It got so small
we literally were praying for pee. We had that written
on his room, you know, pray for course, because that

(01:33:12):
was a win.

Speaker 3 (01:33:15):
Correct.

Speaker 22 (01:33:16):
And we had to move the fluid from the swelling
of the edema. I mean, there was just there was
a million and one things. I would take me forever
to even read the medical log, you know, But thank god,
we have Rady's in our backyard and they're capable and
they were able to handle that and find the resources
and deploy things that you don't normally have to deploy

(01:33:39):
or even do. And it's children's hospital. I mean there
was things of talking about. At one point we almost
put him in a hyperbaric chamber.

Speaker 1 (01:33:45):
Wow.

Speaker 22 (01:33:45):
I mean, this was really some interesting stuff that they
don't normally do, and they figured it out, they handled it,
and he's here today because of them.

Speaker 1 (01:33:54):
Well, you said it like, imagine if you didn't live
anywhere near a Rady Children's Hospital, what would that look like?
I can't even know, you know.

Speaker 22 (01:34:03):
All I can say for parents is I hope you
never have to go through what I went through and
our family went through, or even go to Rady's. But
I'll tell you what, It's the best insurance policy you
can have, without a doubt, because if you do need it,
you want to know it's in our backyard. And we're
very lucky, as Sandy Eggins that it is in our backyard.

Speaker 1 (01:34:20):
That's why we do the giveth on eight hundred two
five eight zero zero zero seven or text the word
rock to five to one five five five. All right, Bradford,
it's almost Christmas? What do you want for Christmas? What
are you asking for? What do you want?

Speaker 6 (01:34:34):
I don't know, Well what.

Speaker 13 (01:34:36):
Then I can go and shut out that hos watch
a Buddings. I want a robot that I can molkl.

Speaker 1 (01:34:42):
Now hold on a minute. You want to go into
the robot and move around?

Speaker 5 (01:34:46):
Seen that movie? Like you control it almost like a robot.

Speaker 1 (01:34:51):
You're the robot and you can control it. No way,
that would be crazy.

Speaker 5 (01:34:56):
It's like robots straight.

Speaker 1 (01:34:57):
You're working on Tesla. I'll tell you that's true. Yeah,
would you wanted to shoot lasers? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:35:04):
Oh nice?

Speaker 1 (01:35:04):
Wouldn't that be cool?

Speaker 5 (01:35:06):
Yeah, that's a cool robot.

Speaker 1 (01:35:07):
Do you like robots a lot? Do you like Transformers? Yeah?
This is gonna be a good year. I don't know how, mom,
I don't know how you're going to get a robot
that he's going to get into.

Speaker 22 (01:35:18):
But lucking Santa, he keeps growing so fast though. You know,
he's trying to hit that two inch marker. He needs
two more inches to hit K one and he's growing. Really,
we have a goal here to keep growing. So I
don't know if I can find a robot that he
can grow with him. That's a challenge.

Speaker 1 (01:35:32):
We're going to have to figure this out.

Speaker 5 (01:35:33):
We'll work it out.

Speaker 1 (01:35:34):
But yeah, how is he doing now? Because he looks fantastic.

Speaker 22 (01:35:38):
Yeah, it was pretty incredible. I was told he wouldn't
even be able to crawl, and uh, last time, you know,
he was skateboarding when we were in the last time.

Speaker 6 (01:35:44):
Now he's onto soccer. He made his All star teams
on his team. How many goals did you get in
one game?

Speaker 5 (01:35:51):
Buddy? Six?

Speaker 1 (01:35:54):
It was there no goal?

Speaker 5 (01:35:56):
Yeah, how did you do?

Speaker 1 (01:35:57):
How did you do that? You're just that good and
just the fastest one. Yeah, I bet you have a
strong foot. You kicked the ball really hard.

Speaker 13 (01:36:08):
One time I kicked the ball a little bit too
hot and on accident it hitted the corner shot.

Speaker 15 (01:36:14):
Oh man, it was so the other team at zero.

Speaker 13 (01:36:19):
I had six.

Speaker 15 (01:36:20):
I could have got seven, but I but I didn't
want up close enough and I kicked it like about
white heel and it hitted.

Speaker 1 (01:36:31):
The corner shots. Still sixty good, right? Is that your record?

Speaker 11 (01:36:37):
Yes?

Speaker 13 (01:36:38):
Because it was six zero.

Speaker 1 (01:36:41):
The whole team, just by yourself.

Speaker 5 (01:36:43):
Yes, that's wow, amazing.

Speaker 1 (01:36:45):
