This machine just saved my brothers life. My brothers organs were shutting down from the delta virus. There was no chance he could recover the doctors said. He went through two cprs, His kidneys were failing, heart was failing and Lungs. A miracle happened and my brothers lungs started to heal. Thank you ecmo for saving my brother. I owe you my life and my brothers life.

I have cystic fibrosis and a few years ago, i lost one of my best CF friends. She had a double lung transplant and went into rejection... she was put on ECMO and never woke up. But it’s also important to remember that those with chronic lung disease most often ECMO and life support of any kind, is not successful. That being said, I’m so incredibly happy and relieved to hear of the COVID-19 and stroke patients as well as other patients who have needed ECMO that got a second chance at life. ❤️

Praise God your 3 year old made it! My husband is on ecmo for COVID. He has SRDS, (I think that’s the acronym). The doctor told me today that his lungs are fine, but they are very inflamed. That gave me hope. I pray that he heals up soon, it’s tough seeing your loved one like this.

I was on E.C.M.O. at Loma Linda University in Southern California when I was a child, 7 years old. At the time, E.C.M.O. was only in 6 hospitals nationwide. -Undiagnosed Epilepsy but an infection from Pneumonia. At 33 as a young adult and highly Self-Reflective, comfortable with my Mortality I am now more than ever eternally grateful to the doctors & nurses who helped saved my Life, basically. A few of which I am still in contact with today. This was beautiful to watch. God Bless Doctors, Nurses and the Neurologist Dr. Stephen Ashwal who save children's lives and work daily with this amazing machine ❤️ 🙏!! Peace ✌🏻 and Love from San Francisco 💕
