Representatives from Komatsu and Power Equipment were greeted by officials with Children’s Hospital at Erlanger as they celebrated the arrival of a Komatsu Excavator outside the hospital. 

 

“Komatsu’s very visible support for our Believe Campaign is another great example of community partnership as we raise awareness and money for our new Outpatient Center,” said Don Mueller, CEO of Children’s Hospital.  “We thank them for this loan and hope it serves as an inspiration for others to help us build a new Children’s Hospital.”

 

One patient who participated in the visit was 2015 Children’s Hospital Miracle Child, Liam Mull.  When Liam’s mother and Komatsu’s Customer Service Coordinator, Cherish Mull, heard about her company’s support for Children’s Hospital, she was eager to participate.

 

 Liam first came to Children’s Hospital when he was just 15 days old.  His pulse didn’t register and doctors and staff began resuscitation attempts lasting more than two hours.

An MRI revealed a significant brain bleed, but also, miraculously, very little brain damage. He was discharged 18 days after his arrival.  When he reached 4 months of age, Liam was in the normal range for physical activities and has tracked in the normal range ever since. He is now two-years-old and still holds the “Miracle” title.
