    This treatment was given to me in 2019 after overian stage 4 cancer surgery. My overian tumour was 14.5cm , 13 procedures, 2 major cardiac arrests, heart stopped lungs collapsed, brain stopped functioning, kidneys were on dialysis, 5 weeks in ICU, CPR didn't work on me . 3 months in hospital all together. My church was getting ready for my last journey (funeral). all of a sudden one day I'm back to life. Now I'm living a normal life. Lots of parts been removed from my body but I'm still alive because of this treatment.

    My father had covid 1 year ago, his lungs never truly healed. Now 1 year later he gets the flu, had frequent asthma attacks and now after managing to avoid the medical induced coma by having his oxygen be at 91- he coughed, got put in the coma, day 4 his lungs collapsed and his heart stopped. They revived him 3 times, did a surgery to start correcting his blood circulation and oxygen in the blood stream, watching his kidneys etc etc
    ... been here at the hospital since 7 a.m. around noon we got updated that he is responding to the surgery well & they want him on ECMO. "Now we go hour by hour and see where this will go". 💩 This ecmo is his and our last hope for life...literally.

    interesting wonder if Heather Dean went to MSU vet school, if so I met her there in 2017 as an intern.

    Amazing how much technology has advanced.... it's a scary thought how many auto-immune conditions can be life threatening....
