Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt Our ECMO program just celebrated its 20th anniversary of life-saving treatment. Read about how the first ECMO patient, Chelsea Brown, is doing today. If you are an ECMO family, we would love to see your comments below!

www.mc.vanderbilt.edu
She's the poster-child for the use of extracorporeal mechanical oxygenation, or ECMO, but 19-year-old Chelsea Brown doesn't remember much about her experience as a patient. She has only seen a couple of photos and news articles and heard the story from her mother.

My granddaughter, Cheyenne, was on ECMO in 2005 at VCH. That technology gave us 6 more months with our precious little one.

Thank you for sharing this story. We will be surrounded by 4-wheelers over Thanksgiving. You think...each year as your children get older..that they are more mature..and that they surely understand the safety issues you have discussed over and over..and that maybe they can ride them..."just down to the barn"..or "down the road and back"...and ... See Morethen you read a story like this...and the warning that most injuries are between the ages of 10 and 14! ...and you realized ..they are not ready.....life can change in an instant! It's not worth it! Thanks for reminding us of of the dangers!
