Brothers Poisoned by Pesticides Out of Intensive Care

Boruch Hashem, the two Jerusalem brothers poisoned by pesticides, who have spent the past two weeks fighting for their lives after their two younger sisters succumbed to the poison r”l, have been moved out of intensive care and are seeing steady improvements to their conditions.

From Yeshiva World News:

Michoel Gross, 5, and Yitzchok Gross, 7, arrived in Schneider Children’s Hospital from Shaare Zedek Medical Center a week and a half ago in very serious/unstable condition, connected to ECMO cardiac bypass machines and fighting for their lives. Their frail bodies were severely compromised as a result of prolonged exposure and inhalation of the phosphorus-based pesticide.

Their parents, Shimon and Michal, attribute their refuah to the outpouring of tefilos and concern by Am Yisrael around the world.

Chief of Cardiac Pediatric Intensive Care Medicine, Dr. Ovdei Dagan, said the children are now receiving medicine orally and he feels their respiratory issues have stabilized. He said their muscles have been weakened considerably and they must begin undergoing physical rehabilitation to strengthen their bodies. They will be beginning physical therapy to achieve this.
