Couple of days ago Maksymilian’s mom sent me an email asking if I know anyone who can help their son. So here I am posting this hoping that some of visitors of my blog will help…
Maximilian weights 620g, is the size of your hand and desperately needs the second half of his little heart. HLHS – Max’s heart defect – is extremely rare, about 1/5000 cases. What goes with it? The left ventricle of the heart does not develop without an operation. A child several years ago could not live with this defect. Fortunately, today it is possible, but there is only one solution: a 3-stage surgery (open heart, cardiac arrest at low temperature, the change of blood circulation – only works right ventricle), after which a child can function quite normally.
The cost of the first operation is 32,5 thousand euros and it must be carried out immediately after birth. Date of birth was designated at the beginning of November – so now we have only two months to raise money, but we firmly believe that thanks to people with great hearts (each one of us has a big heart!) we will manage to save our son. You can read more and also see Maksymilian photo in 17th week on: http://www.maxheart.eu/ or facebook group.
Thanks to Cor Infantis Foundation we may collect the money for the operation and hope that everything will succeed.
