Family bonds with care team while getting weekly, life-saving treatment

Every week Kylee Jones takes her two kids, Sophia and Cainin, to IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital to get blood transfusions. This has been the routine for a few years now, ever since doctors diagnosed the kids with a rare blood disorder called congenital dyserythropoietic anemia (CDA). “We have our two [nurses] who see us weekly. They’ve taken care of us for years and we just adore them,” said Kylee. “They are like our family. We see them more than our actual family, honestly.”
