When we knew that we
are having Matt in our life, we are really excited when he will go out and meet
the outside world. As first time father, I was really excited to meet him every
month during check-ups. Seeing him thru ultrasound makes me happy and excited.
One thing that we wished is for him to be normal and healthy. When I read Mye's post about Alphonse's condition, my heart was really touched and without a second thought, I repost her story hoping that in this way, I can help.
Here’s the story:
"Early
morning, I got a visit from my anesthesiologist, my OB-Gyne and the
Pediatrician. They went straight to inform me about the bad news. My baby has a
hole in his heart chambers and that it needs to be checked by a Pedia
Cardiologist. It was such a devastating news. What did my baby do to deserve
such an illness? He is so tiny and fragile and he had just arrived in our
lives. I kept on crying and I can’t bring myself to stop. It is so
heartbreaking.
The
next doctor who came into my room was the Pedia Cardiologist and he confirmed
the illness of my son. He has Tetralogy
of Fallot. He further explained that there is a hole
between his bottom heart chambers causing him to lack enough oxygen supply to
his lungs. It was the reason why he wasn’t crying. It was as if my son
understands that the further he cries, the more stressful it will be for his
heart.
The
doctor was very kind and told us that even though it happened to him at this
stage, this illness is curable by surgery. Yes, my little boy will have to
undergo an open heart surgery to survive this illness. He needs to have it at 6
weeks old, the earliest but no more than 3 months or he will not make it. He
told us how much the surgery will cost and what do we need to prepare. We
will need roughly $12,500 for the surgery alone. It was another shocking news but deep
in our hearts, we knew there is hope. We are not wealthy and we need to get
that amount in a month so we can schedule our baby’s surgery and free him from
this very stressful and scary condition."
