Segment 3 from the Big Break highlighting the Children's MIracle Network Challenge.
Mac was only 11 weeks old when Dr. John Lamberti of San Diego Children's Hospital performed open heart surgery on her. This was one of two open heart surgeries the second performed when MacKinzie was 23 months old. The Kline's were overjoyed their daughter would survive surgery, but doctors said Mac would never be like “normal” children or be able to participate in sports, especially any aerobic activities. This challenge did not stop the Klines from looking for ways to expand Mac's horizons. They figured they would find less physically stressful things she could participate in; hence, golf. The doctors were right, she is definitely not normal.
Even before Michael Bufalini was born, his parents, John and Cindy, considered him a miracle. Following three miscarriages and many test and procedures, this was the first pregnancy that seemed to be going well. Then at 28 weeks gestation things changed drastically. Cindy was rushed to Samaritan Medical Center in Watertown with a placental abruption. He was born on May 4, ten weeks premature and weighing only three pounds six ounces. He was unable to breath on his own and had to be put on a ventilator and fed intravenously. Thanks to the care provided at Samaritan Medical Center’s NICU where he was transferred for the final weeks of his hospitalization, Michael grew stronger and was eventually able to breath on his own. His frightening entrance into the world left him with no lasting medical conditions.

Matt Cooper Miracle Story
Many things describe Matt: sports fan, good student, active, cancer fighter. Matt was diagnosed with a brain tumor seven years ago. He has undergone five chemotherapy treatments and even gone blind as a result of the tumor. That does not stop him from being one of the top students in his school, from participating in a putting contest at the Duke Children’s Classic or from lov- ing Duke sports and the Carolina Hurricanes. Like so many other patients, Matt is an inspiration to us all.
