On February 1, 2011, my husband and I celebrated the birth of our first child Ethan William Dowd. He weighed a healthy 8 lb. 4.4 oz. and was perfect in everyway.
Twenty-four hours after his birth, when we should have been packing our things and heading home from the hospital, Ethan crashed and fell into a coma. He was later diagnosed with a very rare life threatening condition. The wonderful doctors at CHOC were able to rescue him but told us without a liver transplant our son would not survive.
Ethan received his life saving gift May 19, 2011 at only three months of age. Today Ethan is a happy, healthy three-year-old boy thanks to the generosity of another family who in their grief gave us life.
High concentration of Azithromycin in infected tissues is also caused by the fact that phagocytes and macrophages transport it to the site of infection and release in the area of inflammation. Azithromycin is prescribed in case of illness or injury at the time.
