“Just 27 days ago I was overwhelmed with happiness and joy as I welcomed my newborn into this world. I just understood the meaning of what it means to be a mother. I couldn’t control my tears when I got a glance at my baby. He looked so tiny and adorable. My family was so happy to know that we gave birth to a baby boy and celebrated like nothing else mattered to them. However, the happy tears quickly turned to sorrow as the doctor revealed that he had a Diaphragmatic Hernia and Hyaline Membrane Disease. Imagine the plight of a 27 day-old newborn who is unable to breathe. My only son is born with a birth defect. Before I could even hold him in my arms,  the doctor asked to keep him on ventilator support. After thorough checkup we came to know he is suffering from pneumonia. My baby is going through such a critical condition even before he could see the world with his eyes. He kept crying because of the pain. Doctors started placing ventilator support wires to my baby’s tiny body. That beeping sound started to haunt me. The oxygen mask was the same size as his head, unable to fit him. When he took a breath, his chest would swell up like a balloon. Watching all this, I started to lose hope for his survival. We are not educated enough to understand what my son is going through. Doctors have suggested immediate surgery to save his life. Now my son has to go through knives and sharp blades which would tear him apart. Thinking of all this gives me a heartbreak. I want my son to survive and to live a normal life. I request you to support us through our difficult phase of life and to save my only child.”
