It was a boo-tiful day at the annual Fall Festival at Children’s Nebraska! Patients, families and team members enjoyed a mini carnival with games, crafts and activities, a team costume parade in the main hospital lobby and reverse trick-or-treating through our inpatient units.

Our Child Life team, Wellbeing team, volunteers and regional Walmart & Sam’s Club employees create a special environment each year to celebrate seasonal fun, and we are grateful for all they do for the children and families in our care. 🎃🕸️🧡

For 17-year-old Merrit and his family, December 2025 brought an unexpected turn – a diagnosis of spinal ependymoma, a cancerous tumor in his cervical spine. The active multi-sport athlete underwent urgent surgery with pediatric neurosurgeons Afshin Salehi, MD, MS, and Meena Vessell, MD, followed by 28 rounds of radiation under the care of pediatric neuro-oncologist Chittalsinh Raulji, MBBS.

Now cancer-free, Merrit is back to school and sports in his senior year, serving as a football team captain and readying for basketball season. Watch to see more on Merrit's incredible resilience and the collaborative care he received throughout his cancer journey, and read his full story at ChildrensNebraska.org/MerritsStory.
