Being at the right place at the right time. Some might call it a coincidence – but for eight-year-old Sean Hatzfeld and his family, an experience that led them to NYU Winthrop Hospital was perhaps divine intervention.
“At one point, the outlook for our son was very dire,” said Patricia Hatzfeld, Sean’s mother, as she recalls her son’s recent bout with severe sepsis – a blood infection that can cause fever, low blood pressure (shock) and serious respiratory distress. “But in the end, we knew that God made a path for Sean that led him to NYU Winthrop, the very best place he could possibly be.”
