The importance of Children's Hospitals

Kosairs Children's Hospital saved my child's life.

Literally.

When my second child was born, he was unable to breath on his own. The pediatrician kept checking him, and finally he told me that he was going to have to be life flighted out. He told me straight out that the hospital did not have the resources or means to keep him alive there. Within a few hours, my son was sedated and taking his first helicopter ride.

I was devastated and wondering if he would survive. He was flown four hours from where I was at.

In the end, he did pull through.

Children's Hospitals are amazing. They literally save lives. I can't think of a more worthy cause for charitable contributions. The staff was so nice and kind. They encouraged breastfeeding and even had a comfortable room for breast pumping. I thank god for kosairs, and I thank god for pulling my son through.
