A 0% survival chance isn’t supposed to end with a reunion on a summer field, yet that’s exactly where this story leads. We open on a frantic delivery in Alaska, a rare congenital diaphragmatic hernia, and a physician catching a tiny spike on a pulse oximeter—just enough to dare a medevac to Portland and stake everything on ECMO. Emmanuel Hospital’s Ladybug Room becomes the center of gravity: machines whirring, drugs billed by the minute, families holding vigil while the sickest infants in the world fight for breath. Beside Justice lies Addison, watched by Lee and Mary Ann. In whispered prayers and small wins, two families become allies as grief and hope share the same space.
Years pass. Calls fade. Life resumes. Justice grows up and chooses to serve as an EMT, pulled toward the threshold where strangers become lifelines. Our church later partners with a struggling congregation and youth camp planning scales up. On arrival day, the past walks straight into the present: Addison is on the roster, and Justice is staffing medical support. Two babies who once shared a room of machines now share a field of laughter, living proof that statistics don’t dictate destiny. Soon after, a visit to the partner church brings another surprise—Lee is on security, and a conversation twenty years in the making picks up as if no time passed.
We trace the invisible architecture of this journey—how medicine, prayer, and community link hands when outcomes hang in the balance. You’ll hear why ECMO matters, what the Ladybug Room represents for families on the brink, and how faith can steady a parent through midnight alarms. Most of all, you’ll feel the weight and lift of a full-circle moment that began with fear in Alaska and found new breath in Oregon, then matured into purpose and service. If this story moved you, follow the show, share it with someone who needs hope, and leave a review so more listeners can find their own full-circle spark.
