Fundraiser result

Staś jest już po operacji! Wszystko poszło zgodnie z planem – serduszko uratowane!

Ostatnie badania echo serca pokazują, że wszystko jest dobrze! Saturacje utrzymują się na poziomie 95-100%!

Nie ma słów, które są w stanie wyrazić naszą wdzięczność za uratowanie Stasia! Zyskaliśmy spokój o życie synka, nadzieję na przyszłość, powrót do normalności! Trudno nawet opisać nam, jak to jest cenne. Najważniejsze w życiu... 

W niedalekiej przyszłości czeka nas cewnikowanie serca z zamknięciem ubytku, który pozostawiono, aby odciążyć jedną komorę i wymiana zastawek. To jednak przed nami, na razie cieszymy się z tego, co jest. A jest wspaniale!

DZIĘKUJEMY!

Fundraiser description

Stanley was born on March 20, 2019 with Down syndrome and an accompanying congenital heart defect in the form of an AVSD (Atrioventricular Septal Defect). Due to the significant deterioration of his health, he underwent an urgent heart surgery, i.e. banding. That surgery saved his life.

On July 30, 2020, our son underwent another heart surgery, which unfortunately resulted in some complications forcing doctors to perform another surgery (cardiac catheterization and stent placement). The defect in the heart turned out to be so big that the doctors decided to change his heart into a heart with a single ventricle. He was born with a heart with two ventricles. Stan was to undergo another surgery in Poland, it would have been a palliative one and Stanley's heart would have never worked properly. All planned cardiac surgeries were suspended in a Polish hospital where Stanley was undergoing treatment due to staff shortages… We started looking for help in other hospitals in Poland and abroad. There were queues in other hospitals in Poland, there were queues in Germany. I was still looking for help.

Finally I received an email back from a doctor from a hospital in Geneva, Switzerland. Not only did the doctors agree to operate on Stanley's heart, but they also offered a different treatment. Their plan is to reconstruct Stanley’s heart so it has two ventricles, so that his whole heart will work! They gave us hope that Stanley would live a healthier life. The only obstacle is the cost – Stanley’s surgery and his 30 day stay in the hospital were estimated at a million zloty.

We have no other choice but to ask you for help in saving our son's life because we simply do not have that amount of funds. We don’t have much time, only around two months to collect the money,as in the middle of November Stanley is going to welcome his younger brother, Alex into this world.

Please, help us...

Grateful parents
