Alexander was born with a rare congenital condition which led to him needing surgery at just 5 weeks old. Because of the complexity of his condition, Alexander had to be placed on a heart lung bypass machine (ECMO) at Women & Children’s Hospital of Buffalo to allow his body to rest before the surgery. To help keep Alexander alive the ECMO required blood to be flowing through it at all times, and this was made possible by generous Unyts blood donors just like you. Alexander is now a beautiful, healthy 5 year old and his parents cannot thank the WNY community enough for saving their son.
