Jameson's Journey

Two years prior, Shannon Alcorn went in for a routine ultrasound and found out something was terribly wrong with their baby Jameson. He was diagnosed with pleural effusion, meaning his chest was full of fluid, compromising his heart and lungs. Desperate, the Alcorns sought help at UCSF where a team of innovative fetal treatment experts have been pushing the boundaries of medicine to learn how to heal a body, even before birth. 0:00 Introduction 2:03 Pleural effusions diagnosis: referral to UCSF 2:25 Ultrasound review and diagram 3:54 Prenatal intervention offered: Fetal thoracoamniotic shunt 7:08 Diagram: Fetal thoracoamniotic shunt procedure 7:23 First fetal thoracoamniotic shunt 8:14 Ultrasound detects mom's early kidney cancer 10:34 Shannon's mass: renal cell carcinoma 11:19 UCSF Difference: Entirety of adult and neonatal 12:59 Second fetal thoracoamniotic shunt 14:06 Pleural effusion and hydrops fetalis 15:05 Born not breathing: Neo natal team and process 15:58 Intensive care nursery & prep for surgery 17:06 Surgery after birth 20:11 Mom's Renal cell carcinoma stage one 20:50 Only at UCSF 21:59 Epilogue UCSF Team Dr. Hanmin Lee- UCSF Edu Professor https://surgery.ucsf.edu/faculty/pedi...
