Tejas, a two and a half months old
child, as a new born only seemed abnormal to his parents. Monu
Sonalia(Father) and his wife, first-time parents were scared when their new
born baby didn’t act like a normal baby. Initially when the bathed the baby,
his skin had a bluish tint to it and the baby had constant shortness of
breath.
After seeing these symptoms, they went
to a local doctor in Gurhana(Uttar Pradesh) who then recommended to them to visit a
specialist doctor in Meerut. After checking Tejas, the doctor in Meerut sent them
straight to AIIMS, New Delhi. From there, they found their way to Child Heart
Foundation where they met Dr.Vikas Kohli who diagnosed the child with Tetralogy
of Fallot.
The prognosis was open-heart
surgery. Monu Sonalia being a laborer and his wife a house-wife cannot raise
such funds. Child Heart Foundation is now working hard to give this family a
new life.
