Subscriber only A Lockyer Valley family has raised almost $89,000 for lifesaving technology at the Queensland Children s Hospital after doctors miraculously saved their son s hand after a freak accident. The Porter Family - Shelley, Michael and their two sons Maddox and Ashton - were shocked when they learned the advanced technology that saved their son s hand wasn t readily available at the QCH. Thanks to their significant fundraising efforts on Thursday, the QCH will now have a dedicated satellite site where advanced surgeons and technicians from the Australian Centre for Complex Integrated Surgical Solutions will operate. And, the centre will be named after the Porter s son Maddox.
