So each year, I highlight an excellent book that helped my team improve our follow-through on achieving important goals. I wanted to share with you GETTING MORE. Author Diamond offers a revolutionary approach to negotiation, emphasizing emotional intelligence and understanding others’ perspectives over traditional logic and power tactics, to achieve more successful and mutually beneficial outcomes in both professional and personal settings. 

Some of your friends, neighbors, associates, or relatives may have a New Year’s resolution to make a move. Well – we can help them with that, help you and help the kids at Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles at the same time.

Why I support Childrenʼs Hospital, Los Angeles

I grew up right here in the Greater Los Angeles Area, born in Los Angeles County at St. Francis Hospital. I remember when I first heard about a young person close to our family suffering from a painful disease and getting treated for that at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. It was then that I began to pay closer attention to the work they do at that hospital. Since then, I have learned that it is a collection of hard-working healthcare professionals, most making their home right here in the Los Angeles area, all coming together for a common cause. That cause is to help young people overcome unfortunate health issues that life sometimes throws our way. Being a Los Angeles Area California native, I take pride in supporting in a way that I can do the good work these people do at Children’s. My team rallies around our annual goal of raising money and donating portions of our income to help Children’s in their quest to heal young people when they need healing. My team and I are committed to providing outstanding results for buyers and sellers referred to us by our past clients. I have discovered that Children’s Hospital Los Angeles shares a similar commitment to their patients. And since their services survive on sponsorships and donations, we are happy to contribute and proud to support them.

Sincerely,

Corey Chambers, Broker

Afflicted with severe myocarditis as an infant, Sawyer beat the odds and got a second chance at life with a new heart.

Sawyer the Warrior

by Monica Rizzo

The squeals from the back seat of the family’s SUV are a delight to Robby and Caylin’s ears. Their two sons—Hunter, 5, and Sawyer, 15 months—can’t seem to get enough of each other.

“They are thick as thieves,” Robby says, laughing. “Hunter just looks at Sawyer and he cracks up! He is literally the happiest baby.”

The playfulness between their two sons is something the couple couldn’t imagine a year ago. During Caylin’s pregnancy, Hunter would ask if he could talk to his baby-brother-to-be through her belly. He could not wait to meet him in person. The couple received news during one of Caylin’s prenatal exams that Sawyer only had one kidney and that he would likely be a premature birth. At 34 weeks, Caylin delivered Sawyer and explained to Hunter that his new brother had to stay in the hospital for a few weeks before he could come home.

But that plan changed when days after his birth, Sawyer exhibited cold symptoms that rapidly escalated with high fevers. On his sixth day of life, Sawyer went into cardiac arrest.

“He was taken to the local children’s hospital and his heart rate was in the mid- 300s,” Caylin says. “They told us if his heart rate didn’t come down, he wouldn’t survive for more than three days. His coloring was gray, he was swollen and he was in a medically-induced coma. Everybody believed he was not going to make it. A chaplain counseled us on end of life.”

A cardiac MRI revealed that Robby and Caylin’s newborn son had myocarditis, which is rare in infants and something physicians at their hometown hospital had not experienced. Sawyer’s doctors reached out to the Heart Institute at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles to see if they could help. 

“I’ve seen three newborns with this in the last 15 years of my career,” says Paul F. Kantor, MBBCh, MSc, FRCPC, Chief, Division of Cardiology and Co-Director of the Heart Institute at CHLA. “Thankfully Sawyer’s condition was recognized early and he was transferred to us.”

Sawyer was on a ventilator and received inotropic support (heart medications that help the heart function and survive).

“When he was admitted, the damage to Sawyer’s tiny heart was severe,” says Jondavid Menteer, MD, Medical Director of the Heart Transplant Program, at CHLA. “We knew he would need a heart transplant, but there just aren’t that many donors. When you put someone that young on the transplant list, it can be a really long wait.

Seven months, to be exact. The waiting, says Robby, was exasperating because they did not know if Sawyer’s heart would hold out until a donor was found, and exhausting because of the travel back and forth from their Orange County home to CHLA. Caylin and Robby established a schedule so that they could split their time with each of their sons.

“I was 50 percent of a person 100 percent of the time,” Caylin says. “I couldn’t be with both kids, so I chose to spend more time each week with Hunter because he was the one that was missing out and he was the one that would remember it. But then there were days when I was home with Hunter, I was so scared Sawyer’s days were numbered and I just missed one.”

Sawyer earned the nickname ‘Sawyer the Warrior’ because he somehow managed to preserve enough heart muscle to survive long enough to get a transplant. On Hunter’s fifth birthday, a donor match was found for Sawyer. The family gathered quickly at their home and for an impromptu party with cake and presents before Robby and Caylin rushed back to CHLA to be with Sawyer.

On March 3, the day of Sawyer’s heart transplant operation, “we had such a mix of emotions,” Caylin explains. “I had trouble wrapping my head around the fact that a family was saying goodbye to their child before they gave us their child’s heart. That family endured a tragedy, so we honor them and their little angel every day because of this gift of life they gave Sawyer.”

Just five weeks post-transplant, Sawyer went home and slept in his own crib for the first time. In the months since, Sawyer has adjusted beautifully to family life— and his prognosis is good.

“I expect him to learn to walk, play on the playground, and even do sports,” Dr. Menteer says. “I am very optimistic he will live a fruitful life.”

“Sawyer is the happiest little human in the world. He is a great sleeper, he loves watching ‘Moana,’ having us read books to him and going to the zoo,” Caylin says of her miracle baby. “And he loves his big brother!”

The feeling is mutual.

“Hunter is very protective of Sawyer and he has become my little helper,” Caylin says, explaining that Sawyer still receives nutrition via a feeding tube and has monthly cardiology checkups at CHLA. “Hunter helps prepare Sawyer’s formula in the morning and he brings diapers to me when Sawyer needs to be changed. Their relationship is incredible.”

“Last year, every single holiday was spent in the hospital,” says Caylin, noting that this year the family will all be together for the first time. “CHLA gave Sawyer a chance and saved his life. We are eternally grateful.”

The wonderful outcome fills Dr. Kantor’s heart with emotion.

“Seeing Sawyer now with his family, interacting with his big brother and so, so happy—it makes my life feel worthwhile,” Dr. Kantor says, noting that no one person at CHLA can take credit for Sawyer’s outcome. “It was a team effort that allowed this child a chance at life when by all accounts it looked like he had no chance. To deliver something like this for a family? Man, how worthwhile is that? There’s nothing better.”

Heart of Gold

A serious heart defect isn’t stopping Maceo Alvarez from playing his favorite sport—and helping other sick children at the holidays.

Maceo Alvarez likes a lot of sports—but nothing compares with his love for football. “He’s like a football addict,” his mother, Monique Esparza, says.

“You get to catch, you get to run, you get to juke, you get to spin,” says the 8-year-old Monrovia second grader. “You can also jump if they dive for your legs.”

Last fall, for the first time, Maceo got to play on a football team. At the start of the season, he set out with his mom to pick up his gear, including cleats, uniforms and one extra item: special padding to protect his pacemaker.

Monique was admittedly nervous. Maceo not only has a pacemaker, but he’s also undergone 13 surgeries, including six open-heart surgeries, as a result of being born with tricuspid atresia, a rare heart condition in which the tricuspid valve doesn’t develop in the womb. The defect blocks proper blood flow to the lungs and caused the right side of Maceo’s heart to be severely underdeveloped. The tricuspid valve can’t be replaced, so patients undergo a series of surgeries to reroute blood flow through the body. Football—even the flag football Maceo is playing—wasn’t exactly doctor recommended. In fact, it was doctor forbidden. So said Michael Silka, MD, one of Maceo’s cardiologists at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.

“Dr. Silka kept telling him, ‘No, no, no, no, no,’” Monique says.

But Maceo had a counter. His stepdad had told him about D.J. Hayden, a cornerback for the Oakland Raiders who suffered a near-fatal heart injury in college that had to be surgically repaired. So on the next visit to Silka, Maceo came prepared. “D.J. Hayden plays for the Raiders in the NFL and he has a scar just like mine,” he told the doctor. “So I’m playing football.”

Silka eventually relented and Maceo joined a team. What’s more, Maceo and Hayden developed a friendship, after Monique tagged Hayden in an Instagram photo of her son. Hayden responded, and the two have been Facebook friends ever since. This past summer, Maceo spent a day at the Raiders’ training camp in Napa, California, at Hayden’s invitation.

It was Monique’s instinct to say no to her son’s football aspirations as well, but when she saw his excitement at finally being healthy enough to play the game he loves, she couldn’t.

“He’s determined,” she says. “He wants to do everything you tell him he can’t do.”

Although Maceo is doing well, his battles aren’t over. A few months back, he was suffering from a severe lack of energy and sleeping all day. “He just wasn’t himself,” Monique says. “He didn’t want to play football. Didn’t even pick up a football for a few months.”

Maceo had developed pulmonary hypertension, and was put on a new medication to control it. If the medicine doesn’t work, he may ultimately need a heart transplant. Monique says outward signs are positive, though she can’t be sure until another catheterization is done.

“I can’t say 100 percent it’s working, but ever since he’s been on this medication, I can look at him and tell you that he’s in a way better place than he was a few months ago.”

That’s good news not only for Maceo and his family, but also for other heart patients at CHLA, who can expect to again be the recipients of Maceo’s kindness this holiday season. Two years ago on Halloween, as he was being discharged after an inpatient stay, Maceo spotted someone bringing Halloween costumes into the hospital. Happy to learn that the kids in the hospital would be able to have Halloween, it got him thinking ahead.

“How is Santa Claus going to get into the hospital if there’s no chimney?” he asked his mom.

Maceo declared that he would be Santa Claus and bring presents to the hospital. Monique quickly organized a toy drive and returned with Maceo in December with gifts for every child in the Heart Institute. That began what is now an annual holiday event.

“They’re stuck in the hospital, like I was,” Maceo says. “So we’re going to bring Christmas to them.”

What motivates him to do the toy drive each year? He has a succinct answer: “Because I’m helping the kids.”
