On the morning of Dec. 19, seven-year-old Chance Cole awoke to find his friend Alexis (Lexi), 9, in a great deal of pain on the bathroom floor. He realized real-ized that this must be something some-thing of great significance due to the fact that Lexi doesn't usually feel much pain. She was born with a number of health problems including i 1 1 I III in if (3 &Mk& o a o ?

Chance quickly, but with difficultly, got Lexi to her feet and helped her to the top of the stairs, closer to her mother and step-father. Yelling for help, Chance got the attention of Jack, Lexi's step-dad and he came to their assistance. Discovering that something was severely wrong with Lexi, Jack woke Brandi, Lexi's mother, moth-er, and they rushed Lexi to the hospital. "I knew something was wrong," said Chance. "I just didn't want her to die. I was the hero, I guess." After arriving at Ashley Valley Medical Center, Lexi's family was greeted by the staff in E.R., as well as Dr. Daniel who was on duty that morning. After first considering that Lexi may be suffering from diabetes, Dr. Daniel ran a few further blood tests, and crossed out that diagnosis. It was then on to a CT scan where they discovered that Lexi was suffering from a ruptured appendix and would need immediate surgery. Dr. Richards was quickly called in to look over Lexi's charts and determine whether or not he could complete the surgery at AVMC or if Lexi would need to be flown to Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City. "We can do this," said Dr. Richards, as recalled by mother Brandi Devine. "He felt really confident confi-dent in the fact that he could complete this surgery right here in Vernal." After just over an hour and forty-five minutes, Lexi's surgery sur-gery was complete and she was headed for recovery with great chances for full recuperation. She spent a total of just three days in the hospital although there was concern for a short time that she may have to be in the hospital through the Christmas holiday. "I told the nurses that if Lexi didn't come home for Christmas, her whole family would be there with their tree and all of her presents to celebrate cel-ebrate the holiday with Lexi," said Brandi. "The nurses said they would do all they could to get her home for the holidays, and they sure did. They were all really great." So, as Christmas came around, Lexi was home with her family and friends to celebrate cel-ebrate the holiday the way she was meant to. "She had to spend quite a few days lying around," said Brandi. "Which is really hard for Lexi to do, but she is feeling much better now. She's back to the Lexi we all know and love and it's all thanks to Chance being the hero of the day." After the surgery and the hospital stay, Dr. Daniel told Lexi, Chance and the family that it was a very good thing they got her to the hospital as soon as they did. She was very sick and needed help very quickly so, thanks to Chance, she is still living today and is back to her old self. The Devine family, Lexi and her grandparents as well as their friends Chance and his family, expressed their thanks to the whole staff of AVMC and a special thanks to Dr. Daniel for discovering Lexi's ruptured appendix so quickly. "AVMC made our Christmas," said Brandi. "We're really happy to have Lexi still around. And a huge thanks to Chance for being such a big hero." |
