[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 346917, member: 4264"] Thanks for the prayers everyone. Janet, Ecmo was what they were trying for. I will just post a copy/paste from part of one of their blog updates: They were not able to hook up his heart to the ECMO machine, his heart was simply falling apart. They opted instead to remove his heart and hook him up through the fontan on a mechanical heart. A new doctor to us, specilizing in mechanical hearts and transplants was called in to assist Dr. Rebeyka. This procedure has been done in Germany ( where the new doctor is from) in adults a couple of times. It is the first time he has done this type of thing in a child.... ------------------- [/QUOTE]
