"We're just going through a lawsuit and stuff and really, it's not about the money, it's just that we want answers and we want to know what went wrong in that ambulance that caused my son to be in this state.

The incident happened May 2, when a STARS (Shock Trauma Air Rescue Society) crew picked up Morgan in Brandon for a transfer to Winnipeg's Children's Hospital.
