Henry’s Story of Hope | Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital Telethon

Henry Wooten’s parents expected their three-year-old’s ER visit to result in a routine prescription for an infection. Instead, they were told their son had leukemia – and an especially aggressive type known as AML. Henry’s condition quickly declined in a domino effect of bodily systems shutting down, including lungs, liver, kidneys and finally, his heart. Fortunately for Henry, he was being treated at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St.Vincent, one of the few medical centers in the state with access to ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation), an advanced form of life support technology that acts as a heart/lung bypass to let major organ systems rest while the body recovers.
