Meaghan's father, Daniel, doesn’t think there is a better option than the REPIPHYSIS® implant, and only wishes he had done extra research on the device when his daughter received the implant, because “it would’ve eased many of my worries.”
"The REPIPHYSIS® Expandable Implant has allowed Taylor’s life to continue as normal as possible. We are so fortunate to have had access to the technology. I can’t imagine what Taylor’s life would have been like without this option.”
"The year after Ashley’s diagnosis was a trying time for our family, but with the support from our family, friends, the unbelievable staff at St. Jude’s and advancements in medicine, Ashley pulled through and is thriving."
"It is scary to think what would have happened if we hadn’t found out about the amazing REPIPHYSIS® Expandable Implant," says Leitia. “We are so blessed to have found this option for our daughter. By sharing our story, we hope to help people realize that if you try hard enough, sometimes miracles are possible."
