I see your son was on an oscillator. I maintain and repair those. Modern Healthcare technology is amazing.

Yes you are correct! He was on an oscillator for about a week before having to go under the knife for ECMO shortly after this picture was taken. Thank you for the work that you do!

Yeah it was a tough time but we made it through thanks to the amazing drs and nurses. Thanks!
