Born at 22 weeks gestation, Aunyx has been a fighter from day one. He came home from the hospital with oxygen, a g-tube, and a laundry list of medications. His mom felt overwhelmed at first. But that feeling didn’t last long, thanks to Nurse Vania.

Vania's expert care and calm presence immediately put his family at ease. Vania helps Aunyx thrive at home and helps his mom balance the needs of a medically fragile newborn with the needs of her four older children. Her care is truly invaluable.

We are excited to see Aunyx continue to grow and are so grateful to Vania for the impact her compassionate care makes every day!

Bauer was born at just 22 weeks gestation, and the progress he's made at Aveanna is a true miracle.

He began services after he was discharged out of the NICU. After coming home with a tracheostomy, ventilator, and a g-tube for feeding, his family sought stability for their son's complex care journey. Nurse Christy was their answer, supporting Bauer's family through setbacks and celebrating his victories over the years.

"Nurse Christy has walked alongside us through some of the hardest seasons of our lives," said Bauer's family. "Thank you for believing in Bauer and for caring for him in a way that went far beyond your job title. You will always be a part of his story.”

As Bauer graduates from services at Aveanna and continues to grow into a busy, thriving boy, his next adventure is already on the horizon: the start of Pre-K! We cannot wait to see all the amazing things he'll continue to do.

Heading back to school with a feeding tube can feel intimidating, but preparation goes a long way toward creating a positive experience.

By partnering with school staff, reviewing safety procedures, preparing backup supplies, and helping children understand their own care needs, families can set the stage for a successful and confident school year.

During Gastroparesis Awareness Month this August, Aveanna recognizes the challenges faced by individuals living with gastroparesis and help shine a light on this often-overlooked condition.

Gastroparesis is a chronic digestive disorder that causes the stomach to empty more slowly than it should, resulting in symptoms that can affect daily life and overall well-being. Over 5 million people in the United States are estimated to live with the condition, and in many cases, the cause is unknown.

By raising awareness and fostering understanding, we can help support those impacted by gastroparesis while encouraging advancements in treatment and care. Learn more by visiting https://pulse.ly/ogaecnla9v

When Blake joined Aveanna in 2024 after a 6-month stay in the NICU, he instantly formed a connection with Nurse Kaitlyn.

Through the years, she's been his cheerleader for every developmental milestone, an advocate for his care, and a devoted part of his Aveana team. With Blake's complex medical and respiratory needs, Kaitlyn's guidance has given his family stability in his care journey since leaving the hospital.

"Knowing Blake has a nurse who treats him with such kindness, patience, and genuine care gives our family so much peace of mind," said his family. "We are truly grateful for everything she does—not just for Blake, but for our entire family. She has made such a positive difference our lives."

Thank you to all our Aveanna nurses for the incredible care, compassion, and dedication you show patients like Blake every day.

Throughout August, Aveanna recognizes Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Awareness Month. This important observance provides an opportunity to increase understanding of SMA, raise awareness about the condition, and honor the individuals and families whose lives are impacted by it.

SMA is a genetic neuromuscular disorder that gradually weakens the muscles responsible for movement and everyday activities. It can affect functions such as walking, eating, and breathing. In the United States, SMA is estimated to affect approximately one in every 15,000 births.

This month, we join communities across the country in recognizing those affected by SMA, celebrating their resilience, and encouraging greater awareness, education, and support for individuals living with the condition.
