Spiderman Visits Alive Pediatrics Patient

Published on December 4, 2019

Did you have a childhood super hero you admired and couldn’t imagine meeting in real life? For our patient Ethan, it was Spider-Man. When our friends PYA found out, they arranged for Spidey to make a surprise holiday visit to Ethan’s home where he is on bed rest. Ethan was speechless when his hero stepped to his bedside to admire his Spider-Man sheets and shake his hand. Sister Shelby, niece Madison and nephew Bryson got in on the fun!

“We are thankful to be able to give them smiles and memories,” said the team at PYA who made it possible. We are thankful to have such great friends in the community!
