Lifesaving Nitric Oxide Fund To Reduce Pulmonary Hypertension In addition to being a by-product of cigarette smoke and rush hour traffic, nitric oxide is used in pediatric intensive care. The inner lining of blood vessels uses nitric oxide to signal the surrounding smooth muscle to relax, thereby increasing blood flow. By dilating the veins there is less blood returned to the heart, thereby decreasing the heart's work. We've been using this frequently after surgery with our kids and it has been critical to our lifesaving work. Please give today to ensure that these surgeries are not in vain - that we are able to deal with both the cause and the effects of congenital heart disease in these dear Iraqi children.

Baby Muhammed Adnan Needs Urgent Surgery

January 23, 2010 by Jeremy 

This little guy, Mohammed, came to see us in our office a few days ago (with his parents… not by himself). For a very sick baby, he is remarkably smiling and happy. He was such a joy to have in our office; brightened our day and inspired us to keep pushing forward in our life-saving, hope-giving work!

His parents are friends of little Danar Sami’s parents, whom we sent to surgery a few weeks ago. Mohammed’s father told us in our office last week that he will do whatever he can and is prepared to give all he has - $5,000 savings - to send his son to his highly urgent operation before rising pulmonary pressure leave him inoperable.

	Mohammed is scheduled for surgery in the next few weeks. We are urgently collecting money for his surgery because doctors say that waiting any longer may leave him inoperable, facing imminent death. What a chance to make a profound difference in the life of a child and his family!
