Michael Sierra – 4 weeks old, 2 1/2 pounds and swollen like an overstuffed sausage – needed attention. And he was getting it.

A defect was making his heart work overtime. Infection flowed through his blood, and a hole in his gut was spilling poison into his body.

He had survived a flight from the Rapid City, S.D., hospital where he was born to Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Medical Center. Now, he desperately needed surgery, but his doctors feared he was too sick to make one more trip, even from the neonatal intensive-care unit to an operating room a floor below.

Read the rest of the article here. The article instantly reminded me of the operating room having to come to Macy when she had NEC. Terrible memories.
