Aurhey Caunca hasn't added a story.
I am Aurhey Caunca, the mother of baby Markko Aundre Xebastian C. Severino. He was born with Congenital Hydrocephalus secondary to Aqueductal Stenosis. This means that the ventricles in his brain are narrower than normal, thus the accumulation of Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) is creating pressure and injuring his brain. Xavi underwent his first surgery last August 24, 2016, a Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt, where a tube (shunt) was inserted into his skull to aid the circulation and drainage of the excess CSF, he was 29 days old then. He had a very good and fast recovery.
January 3, 2017, Xavi was brought to his Pedia-Neurologist for check
up as he's been having fever for 4 days already, admitted here at The
Doctor's Hospital, a shunt tap was performed to check the fluid
flowing in his shunt, the specimen extracted was purulent, indicating
that the shunt got infected, he was diagnosed with Ventriculitis. Xavi
was scheduled right away for the removal of his shunt, currently he
has a tube vent attached to an empty blood bag for the drainage of the pus.
January 8, he was brought to the operating room for the second
time to perform a venous cutdown* because he didn't have a patent IV
line. Nurses and even doctors couldn't find a patent line for Xavi,
therefore the cutdown was the last and only option left.
Xavi is doing well for a baby with a tube vent on his right parietal,
and a venous cutdown on his left jugular vein, a figther this little
one. He overcame all surgeries, all of which had quick recoveries. He
is responding very well with all his interventions, surviving every day.
But with all the surgeries, all the laboratory tests, and
medication, the hospital bill is off the roof. We are nearing the
insurance coverage, not yet including the second operation, and all
the doctors under Xavi's service and those who performed the Venous cutdown.
We humbly ask for a little help for the payment of the hospital bill and doctors' fees.
