Dear friends, thanks to your help, we raised about $ 480. This money is a part of the amount, required to pay the surgery for Inessa I. Diagnosis: congenital heart defect.
Inessa was born on April 22 in 2015. Doctors did not observe any deviation in her health state. Only parents noticed that she is growing slowly. After some investigations heart pathology was detected. Doctors said that in order to survive and get well she will have to pass through several operations.
To make needed operation girl needs to get weight. Time passed, but disease did not let Inessa put some weight. When she was 7 months, she had only 5 kg. Parents addressed to the cardiologist again, but he refused to perform the operation - she was too small and it was very dangerous for her, as our specialists did not have needed equipment. Inessa’s family was in a vicious circle: low weight was contraindication for the operation, but disease was an impediment to gain weight.
Time kept running, Inessa got worse. Parents did not have money for a trip to Kiev, where they could get needed assistance. With the help of relatives and friends they could collect part of needed amount. Though baby girl entered the clinic rather late, and despite reserved prognosis of specialists, Inessa was operated on February 1st. The intervention was successful, baby felt better and started to grow.
But this was a short-term effect. Now she needs next operation. Thanks to your help, in the upcoming future, her mom and Inessa will travel to Ukraine, to Cardiological medical center for consultations and to make the surgery appointment.
We will keep following Inessa’s progress and we wish Inessa quick recovery.
Thank you for your support and good heart.
