GIO'S LIVER DISEASE COULD KILL HIM...YOUR PESO COULD SAVE HIM.....Baby Gio Paolo Peralta is a blessing and a joy to his family.. He is a 1 year old boy diagnosed with a congenital liver disease called " Biliary Atresia". This is a fatal liver disease in infants . If left untreated, living beyond his 2 to 4 years in life would become impossible

The Story

Baby Gio was diagnosed to have Biliary atresia at 2 months. He had kasai surgery during his 2nd month to provide a temporary path for bile flow. He got well for few months. But as he turned 1, Biliary Atresia came back and made him very sick everyday. Bile toxins has been accumulated in his liver causing a significant & progressive damage. He had frequent hospitalization due to compromised immune system. He badly needs to undergo a very expensive and delicate liver transplant surgery.

Badly Needed

He badly needs liver transplant in order to survive. To do this, the family needs to raise the amount of 4 million php ( about 85,000 USD ) to start the surgery and treatment at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital Kaoshiung Taiwan. The family now is having a serious financial difficulty in raising the full amount considering his heavy liver support medications everyday nothwithstanding his planned operation.

His Present Condition

He is currently under a heavy liver support medication. Just Lately in August 2015, was admitted to the hospital for severe viral infection due to SEPSIS.

Fundraising Activities

Several fundraising activities has been conducted since November 2014 and about 70% of the needed cost has been raised from private donations, online funding and Grants from different foundations. He needs your help in completing the needed 30% of the surgical cost. The family now is scourging to any government and charitable organizations for support and would mean a lot to the baby if you could extend again your help to complete the needed fund goal.

Request

I am personally knocking on your generous hearts. Please help him conquer his disease and live the life that he deserve. Your peso could come a long way. Please spread this page to as many as your friends and let this baby experience the miracle of healing.

VIRAL INFECTION and SUSPECTED TO BE DENGUE

Update posted by Rubylinda Peralta at 10:36 pm

The fever started after his intake of a med known to be very effective in relieving PRURITUS(skin itching)...despite proven to have no adverse effect in babies with biliary problems , still im convinced that this drug had caused some negative reactions in his body that dropped his WBC into 3. . . . .

RESULT OF CRANIAL ULTRASOUND

Update posted by Rubylinda Peralta at 03:28 am

There is a subcutaneous fluid collection on the left parietal scalp probably, a hematoma..Gio's doctor believed that this is due to his chronic vitamin A intake and would dissappear in no time. We need your prayers guys that this will not go too far before he could be treated.
