Owen Stark, a Missouri toddler who was expected to live only days, may be discharged from St. Louis Children’s Hospital within the month, thanks to his new artificial lung.
First time parents Rasha and Shadi Elkranawi were unaware of their baby’s congenital defects until he was born. To save the newborn, doctors at Sheba Medical Center’s Edward and Lily Safra Children’s Hospital used a sophisticated medical instrument worth $200,000 to pump the baby’s heart and breathe for him.
