Surgery for Serhang
February 16, 2009 by Erin
Serhang will be leaving for surgery in less than 48 hours! His family has been waiting for this opportunity for him to receive the surgery he needs to be able to sleep comfortably at night and walk to school every day without breathing trouble for 11 years. They have known since birth that Serhang had a serious heart condition known as TOF (Tetralogy of Fallot), which is a very complex heart condition involving a hole in the heart and switched arteries. He was identified as an urgent case and his family was very relieved to receive the news that he will go to surgery so soon. Even with the severity of his heart condition, Serhang continues to get up and walk to school every day. However, he has been unable to make it past the first grade because the lack of oxygen his body and brain receive make it really difficult for him to learn. We rejoice with Serhang and his family in this opportunity for him to receive the surgery he needs to grow up and play and learn with the other children his age.
