I was deeply upset to hear that The Queen Mother Hospital and Yorkhill sick kids might be closing. When i had my son Mark at the Queen Mothers Hospital 28/08/03 he had to be taken away from me straight away as his lungs were not functioning properly. After 3 days he was transfered to Yorkhill as his lungs collapsed. He was put on an ECMO machine that took over the workings of his lungs so that they could rest and they could repair themselves. Yorkhill is the only hospital in Scotland with this machine and I was very lucky that he only had to be transfered through a walkway to receive his treatment. When he was 3 days old he had a 20% survival rate, with the help of the experienced staff and life saving equipment my son is now a very healthy and happy 7 month old baby. This is only one baby that they saved but think about the babies that could die if this Hospital closes. I will do everything I can to see that it does not happen
