Baby Oluwashinaayomi needs N2 million for congenital heart disease surgery

LOOKING frail and weeping profusely because of his health condition, six-month-old baby, Oluwashinaayomi Aina needs help to make him live like every normal child.
  Oluwashinaayomi was diagnosed with a heart-related disease at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Idi-Araba, when he was two months old.
  The mother, Seun, who came to The Guardian last Saturday to seek support for her son, said: “I discovered that the baby’s breath was abnormal after a week of birth.  I decided to go bact to the private hospital where I gave birth to him. The hospital insisted that his breathing was normal, that nothing was wrong with the baby. After two months, his condition got worse, his heart was practically pounding and I was so terrified.  So, I was advised to take him to the LUTH.”
  She continued “I was left alone to take care of the baby, as the father  had left me in a rented apartment  and  travelled out of the country without my knowledge. I only got the news from his mother that her son had left the country for greener pastures. Now, I live with a friend who has been assisting me.”
   When contacted on phone, her mother in-law, Mrs. Margaret Aina refuted the claim of negligence, saying: “I tried all my best to take care of the child. My son just traveled out of the country leaving the child with her and I can do little to care for the child. The case is beyond me because I am a widow and the amount needed to take care of the child is  much. We need the help of everyone to help save the child.”
   The medical report presented to The Guardian read thus: ‘’Clinican evaluation indicated that Shinaayomi has congenital heart disease , which was confirmed by echocardiogram, to be transposition of great arteries, anteroposterior related great arteries, large subpulmonic Ventricular septal defect (VSD) shunting bidirectionally with an additional tiny apical muscular VSD shunting left to right, moderate size Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), dilated left pulmonary hypertension.”
  The complication of this heart defect has great negative effect on the growth and development of Shinnaayomi.
  The distressed mother could not help herself as she shed tears. She claimed to have taken the child to Kanu Heart Foundation but she was told to exercise patience because of the large number of people that needed immediate attention there.
  Anyone who wishes to assist Shinnaayomi can contact the mother on 08088667772 or donate to her First Bank account.
