Please Help Save Jana by ace1(m): 6:36pm On Dec 16, 2015
I just had to share this. The mother of the baby is my facebook friend. Please let's help in any way we can


My friends' name is Erhiga Janelle Efenarhua, the mother of Jana Ebruvwiyo Angaye, who was born 29th December, 2012, with a congenital heart disease, three holes in the heart comprising of two PDAs and one VSD which was 10mm big at birth and a transposition of the great arteries that was not compatible to life and a damaged right lung.
In March 2013, Jana had three procedures in India which were the closure of the PDAs, a Cath switch for the transposition of the great arteries and the removal of the damaged right lung but the VSD couldn't be done due to her weight then and was scheduled to return back after she turned two years old and she must have gained a weight of 10kg but she hasn't gone back since due to lack of funds.
She has been managed all these while by doctors at Delta State University Teaching Hospital against heart failure with Echo scan done every three months, a monthly routine check up of her potassium level due to the medication she was placed on by her Indian doctors.
An echo scan was carried out 13th November, 2015 and it was noticed that she is almost having a reversal, she's just 2.8% from having a heart failure with 35.8% heart function and 33% being classified as a heart failure.
If she goes into a reversal it will result to a lung transplant because she currently has one lung and her chances of survival is very slim.
She is presently cynosis, She has turned blue and her lips are black as the VSD (biggest hole in the heart) has grown bigger as she is growing bigger too. The biggest hole is 10.7mm big presently.

Doctors have advised she should be taken to India immediately to avoid losing her estimating the cost of Surgery between $50, 000 - 68, 000 because the VSD surgery is usually a costly one and Jana will be in the ICU for about six months for proper medical evaluation, monitoring and follow-up.
A deadline to raise as much money as we can is the end of November to enable her to go to India ASAP for the operation. Any amount and aid will be appreciated.
