Suffering from hydrocephalus since birth, the little girl had to “wear” a ball-sized tumor on her head and even though her parents were willing to spend thousands of dollars to treat their child, they still couldn’t find it. out to the surgeon.
Any parent hopes to give birth to healthy, wholesome children, but perhaps fate was too challenging for MK Cruz – she was only 11 months old, and her whole family because when they were born, MK had hydrocephalus.
Coming from Manila, Philippines, Cathleen Chavosao (18 years old) – MK’s mother, pleaded: “My daughter can be saved.”
According to Daily Mail, MK was born with fluid accumulation in the brain, leading to an uncontrolled bulging of the baby’s head and affecting the baby’s eyesight.
The only way to cure MK is surgical intervention using a drainage device to relieve pressure inside the skull.
However, performing surgery is a difficult problem for little MK’s family because the amount of money needed to be paid is up to thousands of dollars, and moreover, there is still no doctor who can completely cure it. this disease.
MK was born with a buildup of fluid in her brain, leading to an uncontrolled enlargement of her head and affecting her vision.
The probability of hydrocephalus occurring in newborns is as common as the probability of Down Syndrome.
Mr. Reynaldo Cruz (32 years old), the poor girl’s father, said: “The doctor told us that there is hope of saving MK’s eyes once the tumor on her head is released.
But this was a risky surgery and the doctors said they were unable to treat both hydrocephalus and vision. However, if I can’t have surgery, I don’t know what will happen to her.”
Not being able to find a surgeon for their daughter and having financial difficulties, MK’s parents still did not give up.
It is known that Mr. Cruz is currently a tricycle driver. MK’s entire family is currently struggling to find a surgeon who can completely cure their young daughter’s disease.
As this news spreads, locals in Manila are helping MK’s parents raise funds for the opportunity to have surgery.
However, at its worst, MK pathology can be a symptom of a tumor. Because normally, the swelling caused by hydrocephalus is only around the top of the head, but baby MK’s swelling was bigger than her head.
Local residents of Manila are now helping MK’s parents raise funds for the opportunity to undergo surgery.
However, MK’s parents still did not give up hope: “We were told that we needed to wait for a doctor from the US to come to treat MK’s eyes because no one in the Philippines could perform this surgery.
Without surgery, her skull will be forever deformed. I believe my child can be saved, doctors can do it. We will still fight for our daughter.”
