Looking at Shelton Lee Yong Sheng, the parents are amazed by the significant change in the boy after the surgery. The two-year-old boy is now lively and active! The parents are grateful for the assistance of the well-wishers, which allowed little Shelton to complete his heart surgery in time and have a chance to grow up healthily.

After a physical examination last year, the doctor informed little Shelton’s parents that the boy needed immediate admission to the hospital for Glenn Shunt. The toddler from Cheras, Kuala Lumpur, was admitted to the hospital on 18 April and had a nearly three-hour surgery. After observations for a few days, his condition stabilised, and the doctor discharged him on 25 April. The doctor also scheduled a follow-up visit at the hospital three months later.

Shelton was born with a heart murmur. After examination, the doctor discovered cardiovascular stenosis, two holes in his heart and transposition of the great arteries.

In another case, Syed Aaron Azhan Bin Syed Annuar Afzan, whose pacemaker battery is about to run out, was supposed to be admitted to the hospital in mid-April. However, the admission and surgery were postponed after he had a cold. After a series of examinations, Syed Aaron Azhan had his surgery on 12 May. There was a minor problem due to the position of the sensor during the surgery, so the doctor decided to maintain the original setting of the pacemaker. He finally had a successful surgery.

After his physical condition stabilised and his physiotherapy was satisfactory, the doctor allowed Syed Aaron Azhan to discharge on 16 May so that he could reunite with his parents and sister.

Six-year-old Syed Aaron Azhan was diagnosed with congenital heart disease, namely the transposition of the great arteries (TGA), ventricular septal defect (VSD), atrial septal defect (ASD) and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) at birth. In less than a month, the newborn had heart repair surgery to shut the hole in his heart. Two weeks after his first surgery, he had a pacemaker implantation due to a postoperative heart block.

During an examination early this year, the doctor informed the parents that the pacemaker needs to be replaced every five years. As the child turns six this year, the pacemaker’s battery is about to run out and needs an immediate replacement.

Once again, One Hope Charity would like to thank all the generous individuals from all walks of life for your kindness in assisting the two children, allowing them to undergo surgery in time to regain their health and have a happy childhood.
