Jessica and I were lucky to attend a black tie benefit for the Rady's Children's Hospital at a table purchased by my law firm. The event was sold out, and was attended by nearly 1,000 people. The goal of the gala was to raise money for the new Acute Care Pavilion, which will be home to the new Peckham Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, the state-of-the-art Warren Family Surgical Center, and a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit that is truly family-centered. This is the surgical center and NICU which housed us after Maren's birth and was the site of Maren's surgeries, and the will be again in the future. Recall, the catheter lab at Rady's, which is outfitted to enable catheter procedures on babies like Maren draws patients from Hawaii, Riverside and San Diego. And yet, with rapid advances in medicine, it still needs updates, as components of the technology (Xray arms and machines used during surgery, monitors,...) are outdated.
