Premature Newborn Needs Surgery To Survive Kidney Damage
When Deepa and Venkatesan, who have been expecting baby twins, went to the 8-month scan recently to a clinic in their hometown of Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu,
the doctors gave them the most shocking news. Deepas heart started beating fast and her blood pressure went high when they informed her that one of her babies won't survive,
and that the other had some blockage within the urinary system, reminisces Deepa, adding, They told them that they must go to Chennai immediately and deliver the only surviving child,
as he/she is not going to stay alive for long inside her uterus.
The heavily pregnant mother and distressed father got on the rickety crowded bus immediately (as they did not have money to arrange a private vehicle) to Chennai, praying that nothing should happen to their baby on the way.
Their prayers were answered; they were able to get to Chennai safely and rushed to a hospital where Deepa gave birth via C-section to a premature baby boy on admission. Their baby survived but suffered so many complications,
including kidney damage and requires surgery immediately. His poor parents are struggling to pay for his medicines, and the surgery is completely out of their reach.
Venkatesan, who used to work as a farmer cum daily wager at home for Rs 300 a day, is now unemployed and not having enough both hope and money. Despite borrowing heavily from friends and close ones,
he has only managed to pay for the baby's medicines now (Rs 35,000). He sleeps on the hospital floor while his wife stays in the corridor right outside the neonatal ICU where their son is recovering.
The poor baby must have a surgery soon before his condition grows more complicated and results in irreversible damage. Faraway from their hometown without income, his poor parents can't afford to save him,
please help even your $1 donation will help them to save there baby.
