Your ticket purchase makes a difference for care in critical moments like this:

Makayla Burry did not expect to hear her newborn son cry right away, and the sound brought her and her husband to tears. In late January 2021, Marcus came into the world, extremely premature: 24 weeks and four days and weighing just 755 grams. After being delivered by emergency C-section and letting out his first cry, Marcus was quickly put under the care of Royal Columbian Hospital’s Variety Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, where he would spend more than four months, surviving a number of complications before heading home.

“I was really sick the whole pregnancy,” recalls Makayla, who lives in Surrey. “I was in the hospital for a week because I just couldn’t keep anything down. They were just giving me IV nutrition and fluids.”

Halfway through her second trimester, Makayla required a cervical cerclage, a procedure meant to reinforce the cervix that is at risk of opening early. Later in the same trimester, her water broke.

“I was leaking fluid a little bit,” says Makayla. “Things didn’t seem right, and I started to have contractions.”

Makayla’s suspicions were confirmed during a check-up in Surrey. Royal Columbian Hospital was notified she was on her way.

“I wanted to deliver the baby before he became too sick,” says Royal Columbian obstetrician Dr. Douglas Waterman. “We can’t keep the baby safe once there is an intrauterine infection. The main thing is to deliver the baby in good condition.”

“We didn’t expect him to give us a cry,” says Makayla about the surprise of hearing her baby right after he was delivered in late January 2021. “It was honestly amazing. To this day, it always makes me so happy to be able to hear that.”

While Makayla received follow-up care, Marcus was intubated and taken to the neonatal intensive care unit with dad in tow. For the next 132 days, the family’s world would revolve around the NICU, experiencing many ups and downs and developing a growing appreciation for the hospital’s neonatal team.

Ten days into their stay, with Marcus still connected to a jet ventilator, Makayla was able to hold him for the first time.

“At first, it was so scary because there’s so many people that need to help you get him into the right place,” Makayla remembers. “Thankfully, the RTs (respiratory therapists) and the nurses were there to go through it with me. It made it a lot easier. It was amazing when I was actually sitting down with him.”

Ten days before the start of summer, Marcus was finally healthy enough to go home. And five months after that, Makayla says her son is doing great.

“He’s doing amazing,” she reports. “He has his G-tube (feeding tube), but he’s eating everything by mouth. Developmentally, he’s doing amazing. Everybody is so impressed with all his milestones.”

After their lengthy stay, Makayla feels close to the neonatal team. She also hopes her story will provide support to other parents who may be in a similar situation.

“Some days you feel like you’re going to be there forever, and it’s never going to end,” she says. “But, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I think that was the hardest part for me. I hope sharing my story will help other parents see what the journey is about.”

Provide support for our NICU caregivers who help make a difference for our littlest patients like Marcus.

Your Impact

Your support changes the lives of patients like Dave:

Dave Castle was feeling wobbly on his feet before everything around the 73-year-old suddenly went blurry. He slipped in and out of consciousness as the ambulance rushed him to Royal Columbian Hospital and its 24/7 acute stroke team.

“I really had no prior feeling or any indicator,” says Dave.

At Royal Columbian, a CT scan helped confirm a stroke. Dave was taken to one of the hospital’s angio suites to undergo an emergency thrombectomy, where the medical team would slide a thin catheter from leg artery right up into the head to grab or suction the clot out.

Adding to the challenge, one of Dave’s blood vessels had narrowed, meaning interventional radiologist Robert van Wiltenburg had to open it up with a balloon angioplasty.

“The narrowing is contributing to the stroke, so we have to open up the vessel at the bottom in the neck,” explains Dr. van Wiltenburg. 

Dave spent several days recovering in hospital before returning home. A few weeks later, he returned for the next phase in his treatment involving putting a metal stent in the part of the blood vessel that had narrowed.

Royal Columbian is one of only a small number of hospitals in the province with the capability of performing these procedures. Donors to Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation have added to the technology by funding artificial intelligence software that assists the medical team in the initial diagnosis.

“Once the CT scan gets performed, this software will do a preliminary assessment of the brain,” says Dr. Siu. “It will instantaneously notify the physician team of the patient’s status while the patient is still on the CT scanner. A program like this saves us valuable minutes.”

Weeks after his stroke, Dave was already back at work and says he feels great.

Your ticket purchase makes a difference for care in critical moments:

Burnaby’s Colvin family had just returned home from an annual Christmas Eve tradition in 2018 when 33-year-old daughter Bridget started feeling dizzy and unwell. As the discomfort and chest pains grew worse, her parents called 911. Shortly after firefighters and paramedics arrived, her heart stopped. The paramedics shocked her heart, and Bridget was rushed to Royal Columbian Hospital, becoming the third member of the family to require lifesaving cardiac care at the hospital in a span of just under three years.

 “I knew she had chest pains, but then all of a sudden I heard they needed the paddles,” recalls Bridget’s mother Debra. “I was just numb, because I couldn’t believe her heart had stopped.”

After her successful defibrillation, Bridget’s heart was beating again as she arrived at Royal Columbian’s cardiac cath lab, which performs more angioplasties than any other hospital in the country.

Bridget had a 100% blockage in her right coronary artery, and interventional cardiologist Dr. Roger Philipp treated the occlusion with a single stent. Three-and-a-half days after suffering a cardiac arrest, Bridget returned home.

“50% of all deaths occur in the first hour when you have a heart attack,” notes Dr. Philipp. “It’s always important for people to call an ambulance as opposed to driving themselves.”

The Colvin family, who live not too far from the hospital, feel fortunate that Royal Columbian has been there when they have needed it.

“Royal Columbian has always been incredible,” says Debra. “We don’t go there very often. Babies and hearts, that’s about it. Babies and hearts.”

Please help us serve patients like Bridget when RCH is needed most.
