Respiratory season is here, and our youngest patients need us.
As a pediatric resident who's worked through neonatology rotations, I've seen how RSV, flu, and other respiratory illnesses can turn serious fast for vulnerable kids.

Had the privilege of leading Pediatric Grand Rounds at Ochsner Children’s last week. Presented a preterm case that turned out to be a real zebra—a high-grade bowel obstruction from congenital adhesive bands in a 33-weeker. Not your “bread & butter” NICU day.

A new OHSU trial shows that 2 extra weeks of nasal CPAP in NICU can boost lung growth + cut wheezing in preterm infants up to 12 months. Proof that refining what we already have can change outcomes.

Excited to see local initiatives like ThriveKids bringing mental health and wellness resources directly to New Orleans schools! Partnerships like these are vital for addressing the unique needs of our youth and ensuring no child is left behind. #ThriveKids #MentalHealth #CommunityPediatrics

As summer kicks off, a reminder to parents: heat-related illnesses in kids are real—and preventable. Hydration, sunscreen, and shade are non-negotiable. Saw a case of early heat exhaustion this week in clinic—fortunately, caught in time. Stay safe out there! #Pediatrics #SummerSafety #ChildHealth

Presented on ISPCTN & ECHO at our residency journal club @OchsnerKids—programs bringing pediatric research to underserved communities. With NIH funding at risk, we must advocate for their future. Every child deserves access to innovation. #PediatricResearch #HealthEquity
