Hi :)
This is 2-year-old Ammar Danish. He is suffering from Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) since birth. Which also means.. he has a hole in his heart which results in oxygenated blood and non-oxygenated blood mixing together, which in turn puts a lot of strain on his heart and lung arteries.
In some cases, the hole eventually seals itself up after some time, but during a routine checkup on 11 January 2010, it was clear that that wasn’t the case with Baby Ammar and doctors pronounced surgery as being necessary to prevent the situation from growing worse.
Baby Ammar’s mother is Nuffnanger Azmaniza bt Mohamad Kamal, who blogs at http://mylife-asz.blogspot.com.
Ammar has difficultly in breathing and eating. & he is constantly coughing. (which gets him hospitalized often)
Here's a picture,
Milk, coming out from his tummy.
:(
The deposit for the surgery to close the PDA will cost RM12,000 and is a tremendous burden for Azmaniza, a full-time working mom with five children to feed. FIVE OK!!!
There are a few ways you can help Baby Ammar get the surgery that he needs:
1. Enable ‘Show Charity Ads’ in your Blog Manager preferences for the duration of this fundraiser. You will not be paid for displaying the ads, but the ads will greatly help to promote this cause to more people who might be willing to do something for Baby Ammar.
2. Blog about Baby Ammar’s condition, and include a link to this Nuffnang blog post so that your readers will know where to go for more information. Again, this will also do a great service to Baby Ammar by spreading the word about his condition.
3. Make a donation to Azmaniza Mohamad Kamal – 514093114912 (Maybank). Every little bit helps, so please do contribute any amount you can.
Baby Ammar’s surgery is scheduled for 22 February 2010, and the fund-raising effort will end on midnight at 17 February 2010. It is indeed a short period of time, but let us all rise to the occasion and prove to everyone the strength of a blogging community like ours. Nuffnang will update in their post from time to time on the amount of donations raised.
I find this story really inspiring as I know friends, which are my church members! that have experienced something like this before, it was a very tough situation to be in. and they had to keep that faith up even when they are facing a very difficult situation.
They did not limit themselves, did not underestimate faith and were truly believing that God will take care of it.
:) And of course God did!
Baby Estelle is now 2 years old! If I'm not wrong :p And it was just yesterday! that I saw her walking omg so cute! hehehehhehehheh. What a miracle baby! :) -- I truly believe Ammar deserves a chance in experiencing a fun normal life too! Right? ;)
