Misha was born
Upon discharge from the maternity hospital, we were advised to have a follow-up ultrasound of the baby's heart in a month. At then time, such a recommendation didn't yet foreshadow anything bad, and we went to the hospital at the appointed time.
Misha was examined in the Cardiovascular Surgery Department of the Regional Children's Clinical Hospital. To our deep regret, the little one was diagnosed with a terrible — congenital heart defect, abnormal pulmonary venous drainage.
During a consultation with specialists, we learned that there is no medical treatment for this diagnosis . The only possible solution is surgery. In then due to the high risk and danger to the child's life at his one-month age, a decision was made to postpone the surgery for three months or, if possible, longer.
Three months later, Misha was re-examined and as of this time, it was recommended that the surgery be performed as soon as soon as possible. The strain on the baby's heart is steadily increasing, and any cold will leave the baby beyond the point of survival. In other words, — we have absolutely no time now .
Of course, the surgery will be very complex, with cardiac arrest and replacing lung function with a special device. Then comes a long road of rehabilitation and hope for a full life. And all this awaits three-month-old Misha.
All this time, we have been tirelessly raising funds for the surgery, but now we simply can't make it. And without an expensive lung machine, the surgery is impossible. We find ourselves in a hopeless situation, and we can't cope with it ourselves
We are reaching out to all caring people who can help us with the acquisition of this device. We would be grateful for any attention to our plight. Our baby's life depends on your participation.
