Please pray for my son Gabriel...he has been in the hospital for 8 weeks now for what ws supposed to be a trachea reconstruction and decannulation. While here he developed an infection which led to a pneumoniahe was put on ECMO for 12 days and recovered, or so they thought. Yesterday he went into resperatory failure and had to be put back on ECMO! We are very concerned,,,any prayers would be appreciated.
