Re: story about new mom that made it

Thank you! I'll add this case to our ECMO list. So glad that she is OK!

HUP is a great place. I have friends that work there.

Sounds like it was close, as close as you can go without actually passing over. Thank goodness because it means, one less motherless child, wifeless husband, childless parents. I don't think the story thanks the staff that stood watch over this young woman day and night enough. Thankyou and Godbless to all of the nurses and support persons that fought for life.

Re: story about new mom that made it

Absolutely true! Janfrn said it takes two staff per one of these patients while on ECMO, I think. And,
she was on a month? Wow!
