Iron Lung

[Dibbons]

My Aunt was stricken with polio in the 1950's but recovered without having ever been trapped in an iron lung.

My grandpa's mother was in a iron lung for quite a long time due to tuberculosis.
A sanatorium in Colorado. He stayed there also , his dad was gone.
It was1920s or close.to it. She passed away there. He road the train back to iowa with her casket to her family.
Every time I hear iron lung it reminds me of my grandpa.
