In a recent follow-up visit, her heart was discovered to be severely swollen. The surgery should not be delayed anymore, otherwise her life might be in danger. Her helpless father is hoping for help from the public.

【Has been told that the baby has an abnormal heart condition a week before she was born】

A week before baby Mico was born, the doctor discovered that the baby might have heart problem and suggested the parents to go for further examination at a specialist hospital.

However, due to financial problem, the parents did not went to the specialist hospital. When baby Mico was born, the doctor found out that her breathing was abnormal. A check at the hospital revealed that she suffered from congenital heart disease.

When she was 2 months old, she had a pulmonary artery banding (PA Banding) surgery. At that time, the doctor told the family that baby Mico needed another surgery.

Little Mico suffered from double outlet right ventricle (DORV) and ventricular septal defect (VSD). She must undergo different stages of heart repair surgery at different ages in order to grow up safely.

Her second heart surgery was supposed to be carried out when she was 1, but due to financial problem, it has been delayed for two years.

Little Mico is not allowed to be too active. When her family discovered something amiss, they will ask her to stop and calm down. Sometimes, her family may be in shock when her fingers and lips will turn purple during hypoxia.

In a recent follow-up visit, the doctor told the family that there was sign of swelling in her heart, and she needs to undergo surgery as soon as possible.
