How the Montreal Children's Hospital helped a family with premature twins
At first glance, Selene Di Lallo lives the same life as any mother with twin toddlers. She always keeps her eye on them and makes sure they have plenty of toys to stay occupied. But when she was pregnant with the boys, named Thomas and Xavier, it was hard to visualize this type of life. 'It was a high-risk pregnancy because they are identical twins,' Di Lallo explains. At just 16 weeks pregnant, she and her husband found out that Thomas had a rare lung malformation and would need surgery after birth. Shortly after, they also noticed something strange about the other twin, Xavier. 'We heard a really, really, really quick heartbeat,' Di Lallo recalls. 'We didn't know what a fetal echo should look or sound like, but we did know something was off.' Xavier was diagnosed with supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) — a condition that causes sudden spikes in heart rate. During one checkup, his heart was beating dangerously fast at 270 beats per minute. 'When you hear something like that, you get a little on edge,' Di Lallo says. Early delivery and the NICU Due to the complications, Di Lallo gave birth at just 34 weeks. The twins were six weeks premature. Thomas and Xavier were immediately admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at the Montreal Children's Hospital, where they remained for two months. Di Lallo says she had a hard time when Xavier would have an episode. 'Alarms would go off and the nurses would come in and check,' Di Lallo says. 'The first few times it happens, it really is scary because you don't know how he's going to react — now he's out in the world, no longer in my belly.' 'The good thing was that we were in the hospital.' NICU at the Montreal Children's Hospital Thomas and Xavier were immediately admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at the Montreal Children's Hospital A Family-Centred Approach The care the family received at the Montreal Children's Hospital made all the difference. 'It was comforting to know that they were working with us, helping us out, keeping our best interests in mind,' Di Lallo says. According to Dr. Marc Beltempo, a physician at The Children's, the philosophy is simple: support the whole family, and not just the child. 'We are child health, but we are also family health,' he says. 'We're explaining to them how to do things, but we're also showing them — so they can become primary caregivers while still in the hospital. That way, they're confident and ready to go home.' That support system extends beyond discharge. Today, a year and a half later, Di Lallo feels empowered and capable of managing Xavier's episodes on her own. 'They want to make sure that when they send you home, you're going to feel confident enough to do what you need to do to get past whatever challenge you're facing,' she says. Gratitude for community support Dr. Beltempo emphasizes that this level of care is only possible thanks to generous donors. 'All that work is done thanks to the support of the people who are donating and our foundation,' he says. Thanks to the team at the Montreal Children's Hospital, and the ongoing support of the community, families like the Di Lallos can look to the future with hope. Radiothon The 22nd edition of the Caring for Kids Radiothon will be held on August 21, 2025, and broadcast on Bell Media radio stations CJAD 800, 95.9 Virgin Radio and CHOM 97.7. The Caring for Kids Radiothon has raised over $29 million for the Montreal Children's Hospital Foundation since its inception in 2004. Donate here.

Risk of radioactive contamination prompts Walmart frozen shrimp recall in U.S.
Walmart has recalled frozen, raw shrimp sold in 13 U.S. states because federal health officials say it could have potential radioactive contamination. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration asked Walmart to pull three lots of Great Value brand frozen shrimp from stores after federal officials detected Cesium-137, a radioactive isotope, in shipping containers and a sample of breaded shrimp imported from Indonesia. The products could pose a "potential health concern" for people exposed to low levels of Cesium-137 over time, FDA officials said. "If you have recently purchased raw frozen shrimp from Walmart that matches this description, throw it away," FDA officials said in a statement. The risk from the recalled shrimp is "quite low," said Donald Schaffner, a food safety expert at Rutgers University. Cesium-137 is a byproduct of nuclear reactions, including nuclear bombs, testing, reactor operations and accidents. It's widespread around the world, with trace amounts found in the environment, including soil, food and air. The level detected in the frozen breaded shrimp was far lower than FDA intervention levels. However, the agency said that avoiding potentially contaminated products could reduce exposure to low-level radiation that could lead to health problems over time. The FDA is investigating reports of Cesium-137 contamination in shipping containers and products processed by P.T. Bahari Makmur Sejati, doing business as BMS Foods of Indonesia. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials alerted FDA that they found Cesium-137 in shipping containers sent to U.S. ports in Los Angeles, Houston, Miami and Savannah, Georgia. FDA officials collected several product samples and detected contamination in one sample of frozen breaded shrimp. The shipping containers and products were denied entry into the U.S. However, the FDA then learned that Walmart had received potentially affected products imported after the first detection, from shipments that did not trigger contamination alerts. Walmart immediately recalled the products, a company spokesperson said. They include Great Value brand frozen raw shrimp with lot codes 8005540-1, 8005538-1 and 8005539-1, all with best-by dates of March 15, 2027. The shrimp was sold in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas and West Virginia. Consumers should discard the products or return them to any Walmart store for refund.
