Most of you already know that Kieran had to undergo a major open heart surgery last year to fix his congenital heart condition (Tetralogy of Fallot) and had to stay in the hospital for 20 days which amounted to about 100k. Unfortunately, Kieran’s condition was diagnosed after birth so he is not covered under any insurance.


We thought that was it for at least a few years but he started swelling up around the eyes, belly and legs over the past month or two. We found out last Friday that his right pulmonary artery is so narrow that it was causing a build up of pressure in his right heart and his veins, causing blood plasma to leak into his tissues which caused the swelling. His cardiac surgeon has requested for the surgery to be done next Tuesday to relieve the high pressure in his right heart. It’s going to cost another 45-50k.


For those of you who know me, I normally wouldn’tdo this and I feel bad for asking but it probably won’t be his last surgery and not having insurance coverage is really tough. Any amount no matter how small will really help!

If you know me personally, and can bank transfer directly, it’ll be better because the website does take a 4% cut. I’m sorry I didn’t mention this earlier. You can dm me for my mobile number for PayNow or bank account number.

The Bill

Update posted by Vanessa Oh at 08:00 am

Also, for accountability, here’s the bill. Kieran recovered pretty quickly, thankfully! Thank you so much to everyone who have contributed and prayed for Kieran! It has been a mentally and physically exhausting week or two but it was a lot easier knowing I had so much support! ❤️🙏🏻 I hope

Kieran’s fever has broken for now! His oxygen saturation seems to have stabilized over the night too. Yesterday he was chirpier and started talking too. This morning, we took off his nasal tube. He seems happy about it! Hopefully, we might be able to go home later today! For those

Extubated

Update posted by Vanessa Oh at 02:34 am

Kieran has been extubated, meaning he doesn’t have to rely on the ventilator to breathe. However, he is being given oxygen to keep his oxygen saturation up for now. He’s having a slight fever and had been given paracetamol. but otherwise, his doctors say he’s doing well

Heard from his surgeon

Update posted by Vanessa Oh at 12:31 pm

Haven’t seen Kieran yet but managed to talk to his surgeon. Basically, Kieran was in a pretty bad state when they started the main surgery cuz his right heart pressure was really high and his body was waterlogged everywhere but they managed to enlarge both the pulmonary arteries and lower. . . . .

Midline Sternotomy

Update posted by Vanessa Oh at 06:50 am

I would really appreciate some prayers now. Initially they wanted to do a minimally invasive method but seems like they have to do a midline sternotomy again this time (aka open chest). 😭
