Hi I'm glad the machine saved your life my mum is very critical and she's not improving on the mechanical ventilator its been 3 weeks we are thinking to refer her for an ecmo

@@anilasya7703 Too bad you are in this situation. If the govt and medical organizations were any good at their job, your mom would never have gotten seriously ill because she would have been given the monoclonal antibody treatment. That would have stopped the virus dead in its tracks. But your mom is going to die because her death is important for the govt to continue to gain power and the medical industry to make more profits. So she will not have died in vain.

How many weeks were you on ecmo

@@JetFire9 the monoclonal antibodies don’t do anything my dad got them and still died on ecmo

@@viadatavideos6107 5 days after testing positive he got them

Oschner is A Great Hospital!

Glad to hear.

My wife is 23 weeks pregnant on her 15th day of ecmo for Covid/Pneumonia. Prayers for your husband. I know it's hard seeing them like that but just keep the faith. ❤❤🙏🙏

Praying for you hopefully he is showing improvement by now

My sister in law has been on an ECMO since May. She needs a lung transplant. 💔 Please pray for her.

How is your husband?

So sorry. I’ve know over 200 people with covid and most were mild, a few sick. Such An awful lab made virus

Ecmo is life saving

Why won't you take monoclonal antibody treatments seriously? Oh, that's right, because you wouldn't have a job then.

@@JetFire9 I can see by your comment, you're a real gem

My mom is in ft thomas ky st elizabeth icu on a ventilator and 24 hour dialysis she has been there since the 19th. I ask about this and they say she has to qualify. What's that mean? I just want my Mom to come out of this nightmare. Please pray for us.

Thank you for your service. I have a son on Ecmo right now. And the team is amazing.

How old was your brother and how long did he stay in the ecmo machine? My brother is 50 and just went on the ecmo today. I pray to God he heals

@@larcm3 he's 26 and he stayed on it for 2 months.

Wow , I’m always so happy to see these type of storys . Prayers he keeps on doing better and better each day ! My husband is on Ecmo on day 17 … lungs are failing & RS of his heart … I have sooo much hope !

@@mariamora1101 Very Sorry to hear that. I hope he gets better. Stay safe and don't go around people even your family. Family gave us it.

@@rickjamesbich69 my dad was placed on ecmo 3 days ago and everything is shutting down. Im not a very hopeful person in general but seeing these kind of stories really help give me some hope.

Amen 🙏🏾

It will take time bro

Prayers give it time...my husband suffered 2 strokes on bolth sides of the brain and is now on dialysis i know how you feel...i hate covid so much...your dad can overcome this and him being a candidate for ecmo is a blessing some people are not able to get it....prayers to you and your family

i was on ecmo for about a month in a half, once i was put on ecmo i actualy got worse and had kidney failure, ARDS, and Propofol infusion syndrome and phneumonia 2 more times. i finally started recovering. I am sorry to say that it is a difficult road ahead but it takes time. i know that you may not want to hear that but that is the truth of it. just keep talking to him. while i was out my dream or delirium was centered around my family and when i talked to my wife about this afterwards she was telling me that she would talk to me about the stuff i was dreaming. Also when he does come to, he will be very confused and the Delirium and halucinations that he will have for a few weeks afterwards are going to be very real for him, so if he says or acts strange he is reacting to delirium or halucinations that he is having or had. I quite litterally was a confused mess for several weeks after i woke up. this is getting long and i think ive passed on what i think is the some of the most important info that i can remember. Never underestimate the power of prayer. Good luck and god speed.

@@chilla3220 Thank you, I really hope he can. I would be a complete mess without him.

@@wirthwhileleather6895 I appreciate you being real with me. I am praying he can pull through. I'm glad you're doing well!

I’m praying for your brother in law. My husband is a candidate for ecmo, so I’m trying to learn about it. It sounds like a good thing.

@@zephirinedrouhin3735 thank you 🙏

@@zephirinedrouhin3735 it is a good thing I will pray for him as well. Blessings to you and your family. I have seen it in person but never on family so I also wanted to know more.

@@belindawallace7770 Thank you!

​@@zephirinedrouhin3735 how he is now

It's heartbreaking when people say that this pandemic is fake. That's such an insult to those who have gotten so sick, and the poor souls who did not make it through 😓

Praying for him

@@meganlynne5708 Thanks, im still worried :(

My uncle is in the same position and we are just hoping now he will remain stable so they can get him on ecmo, I’m very scared too so my heart is with you 😞💕

@@ripsaw2322 How is he doing?

@@persephone2706 he died sadly....

Hopefully he did well

Update: My sister was on ECMO from January 2nd to about January 19. She was on 100% oxygen with ECMO acting as her lungs & on the ventilator intubated. They took off her intubation and did a Trach instead. They started to decrease the paralytic slowly & then the sedation very slowly. My sister developed blood clots, which resulted in the ECMO sites to be full of them. They had 2 options by Jan 18th - Either to remove the ECMO completely and see how she does on her own with ventilation - or put in a new ECMO - risking her life once again. They took her off ECMO - we are on Jan 23rd now and she has been stable and initiating her breaths with help from the ventilation. It is extremely important that they wean your ECMO loved ones slowly so they are better at stabilizing. Without this machine my sister wouldn't be here today. She developed ARDS, Covid Pneumonia, and many other infections, & blood clots. This machine has saved her life, and now she is off it. I pray she stays off it and successfully weans off the ventilator. She's 28, no past medical conditions except for pneumonia. Have hope - she had a 10% survival rate on this machine. We held on to that for dear life, but no one is more powerful than Jehovah God, and if he saves them then they have a 100% chance. Do not lose faith - there are miracles everywhere. I am praying for any of you who have to start this journey. We will get through this ❤

Hey guys! An update since I know there may be many of you out there going through this. My sister woke up, she is improving. They found a "fungal" infection that kept getting worse - the CT (CAT?) can of her lungs showed a white mass that wasn't going away with antibacterials/antifungals. So the thoracic team did open chest surgery and removed 5% of her lung tissue, in which they found the white mass to be a clump of clots becoming infected. Since then, my sisters O2 has gotten better, she is now off the ventilator and is just receiving oxygen through her trach. I was able to see her and video call her children, she had a beautiful smile - but she is not able to talk and is very restless. Her next steps are recovery and full removal of the chest tubes (prevention of a pneumothorax due to the chest lung surgery. I hope and pray for your loved ones to be okay, hang on. Please don't give up ❤

Last update; she's coming home tomorrow. A journey from Dec 19, 2021 to March 21, 2022. She has recovered. She survived thank God, goodluck everyone 🤗

Thank you For your story

How did that all work out?

@@ptrzeciak1 He's most likely not alive anymore. I don't know what is wrong with these people who believe that they know more than doctors and nurses.

I could see why- my mom died from COVID and her condition was so critical, her doctor and nurses advised against putting her on a ventilator. Her heart was getting weaker and they said she’d either die during intubation (in intense pain and stress) or her body would eventually give out on the ventilator. Our only choice was comfort care.. Unfortunately, antibodies, ventilator, ECMO and any other treatment used to treat this virus isn’t always enough.

Working in Patient Concerns I know people who didn’t.

You do realize the vaccine doesn't prevent covid right ? Just protects against the severity right ?

@@Lunalilly1980 it doesn't protect against anything. Most who get it die or get really sick. 👍

@@Lunalilly1980 It prevents COVID from killing you in every one of my patients except one that had an organ transplant and was extremely sensitive. So yeah, get vaccinated

@@kmanter Never had a vaccinated COVID patient on ECMO in 2020

@@ckb6752 Most people who DONT get it, die or are really sick. Stop with the misinfo unless you’re in my ICU living it

Why don’t you start at home…..? I see you!!!

Thank the doctors and creators of these high tech machines.

God gave us the knowledge and means to be able to come up with this incredible machine. The doctors and nursing staff should be praised just as much for acting quickly.

But it is the MACHINE that is saving her life & that MACHINE technology COMES from God. GOD is science. The 2 are intertwined. Your body that God created works cause of the laws of chemistry, physics that is dictated by math. Not sure why so many Christians think God & Science is separate !?!?!?

Maybe he just cuts out the bullshit and doesn't give people the sickness in the first place or actually just magically cures it if he decides he's gonna pipe up

Always praise and thank God for everything, but these healthcare workers out there working these machines to keep people alive, deserve recognition as well.
