IOWA CITY, Iowa — One “I love you” is all Lukas Hazen’s parents were guaranteed as he was flown by medical helicopter to University of Iowa Health Care Stead Family Children’s Hospital. Because they chose Iowa’s top children’s hospital, they’ve had 12 years of love and joy with their son, but the journey hasn’t come without its challenges.

Josh and Jayme Hazen were warned their son might not survive childbirth after prenatal ultrasounds detected multiple brain bleeds. This revelation came 26 weeks into Jayme’s pregnancy, blindsiding the first-time parents.

“We knew something was wrong,” Jayme recalls of her pregnancy. “We started to see some swelling around his skull on ultrasounds, and around 29 weeks, he started to have brain hemorrhages in utero. It was definitely scary.”
