WHEN Darwin toddler Moses Wigness Jr was born, his parents’ joy quickly turned to fear when he was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect.
But once he was flown to Melbourne in a transport incubator, donated to Royal Darwin Hospital by supporters of the Humpty Dumpty Foundation, he was able to undergo heart surgery that has successfully cured his condition.
On Wednesday, the almost two-year-old joined 22 other NT children who have benefited from the transport incubator, and their families, at a morning tea to celebrate the machine’s life-changing impact.

Moses Jr’s mother Charmaine Ryan said she was deeply grateful for how the machine had helped her son.
“It really is something else to see my son running around, as mischievous as he is. I’m so blessed he’s able to do that,” she said.
“I get so excited to see he’s such a happy, healthy child now, because of that machine that was able to transport him down and allow doctors to be able to monitor him the whole time.”
