The summer of 2020 was challenging for us all. 

For my wife and I , we lived through every parents worst nightmare: a sick child. Or, as they told us in the emergency room, you have a very sick son. 

Our son Gavin suffered a spontaneous brain bleed due to a rupture of an undiagnosed congenital condition called arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in the brain. 

The care that Gavin received at Children's hospital over months of treatment, rehabilitation and corrective surgeries was incredible. My wife and I were so moved by the care we received for our son that we decided to start Indigo Gives a 501 (c)(3) with the mission of supporting other children and their families during times of critical illness. 

From this organization the idea of our first annual Super Heroes Golf Classic was born. If you are interested in attending the Golf classic  click the link below for more information on the event and available sponsorship packages.

What is Child Life Services?

Children navigating the healthcare environment can be faced with many different challenges, ranging from building comfort in an unfamiliar setting to coping through invasive and sometimes painful procedures. It is common for children to feel as if they have very little control and few choices in what goes on around them. The Children's Hospital of Michigan Child Life department works as an integral part of the care team to return some of that control to patients and therefore assisting in reducing the stress and anxiety often associated with hospitalization.

What does this look like?

The services provided under Child Life Services includes: Medical Play, Procedural Support, Procedural Distraction, Environmental Modification, Modeling and Behavior Rehearsal, Comfort positioning and Creative Arts Therapies.
