Who paid for all this care? Just curious, not snark.

Unlikely "we" paid, since they were not able to get public assistance. Likely, the hospital provided services gratis.

It is said that it takes a village to raise a child.

This "Viiage of PICU" not only helped to save this Angel; they showed his parents what PICU love and family is.

God Bless All of You who loved; cared; helped; and, shared with your Angel Boy and his family.
