Tuesday afternoon, Jackie had the incredible honor of speaking at the dedication of the new "Larry E. Fleischmann Dialysis Center" at Children's Hospital of Michigan. Dr. Fleischmann saved Jackie's life when she contracted Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome - a rare blood and kidney disease, suffered kidney failure, and spent 63 days at Childrens Hospital when she was just 15. Jackie was asked to represent all of the thousands of children Dr. Fleischmann has treated throughout his remarkable career. Larry has remained not only a hero to Jackie and our family, but a good friend as well. Congratulations to Larry... one of the most skilled, kind, funny and giving Doctors to ever grace a child's bedside.
