The last 5 Months Summary of Leon's Health

Update posted by Katrina Escolastico

Hi, good day everyone!

Our last update was about my son's health was August 2018. So far, Leon is still doing well and we somehow follow his doctors' monthly check up and vaccines. He just had a few colds, coughs and fever this past few months and nothing serious about it, that lasts for 3-5 days. Thank God. He just had a mild case of cholangitis last November and did not require confinement. Leon is still in his prophylactic antibiotic just for prevention of cholangitis.

Leon still have splenomegaly due to his condition and we're hoping that his liver will work for years to come.

We are saddened by the news that Leon's other groupmates from the support groups that we joined succumbed from this illness because of being immune compromised and having complications. Others have failing Kasai ,means that their kasai procedure is not working anymore just after a few years. Others died after transplant because of complications too.

I just started working online a few months ago to provide for Leon's medical maintenance and to help his dad for the expenses at home. Still, we try to save up for his possible liver transplant and slowly we are trying to reach our target goal. It seems impossible but we know that God will provide kindhearted people who will help us reach our goal.

If you happen to see campaigns like this, do try to help sick kids. Know if the account is legit, because we heard news from others that there are bad people out there trying to make money out of sick kids by grabbing their pictures and putting fake details. We talked about it in our support groups.

I am a member of these support groups and if you have time please do check them out.

They give financial and medical support to members but sometimes it wasn't enough because Billiary Atresia cases is getting higher and budget is not enough as well.

Anyway, have a great day everyone. I hope I helped by suggesting to help other sick kids too. God bless us.

Leon's Mom, Kaye
