Jerusalem – Condition Of Israeli Brothers Poisoned By Pesticides Upgraded

Jerusalem – Over the weekend doctors at the Schneider Children’s Medical Center said that the conditions of the two young brothers poisoned by pesticides have been upgraded from “serious” to “stable,” and that doctors are discussing the possibility of waking the two from induced anesthesia.

NRG.co.il (http://bit.ly/1lhovFV) reports that the brothers, Micahel and Isaac Gross, ages 7 and 5 respectively, have showed enough signs of improvement that their hearts and lungs are now functioning, and that with continued improvement they could be removed from life-support in the coming days.

Schneider Hospital’s Joseph Perez said, “We are excited to announce that Isaac was disconnected from Hakmo and his heart is functioning normally. Schneider’s medical team spent the last few days days and nights caring for children and the success is due to our technology as well as dedication of the team.”

Dr. Dagan, director of Schneider’s Intensive Care Unit said, “The little boy in stable condition and the decision to disconnect from the system was made in line with functioning of his heart and his lungs. The situation of the two children is still serious, but stable. Both are still anesthetized and intubated, and doctors say it is too early to estimate when to wake the kids from anesthesia.”
