La historia de Navaeh (defecto cardíaco)


Published on: 12/09/2011

“Nuestra hija Navaeh nació con un defecto cardíaco. Tenía sólo tres meses de vida cuando la Dra. Nancy C. Dobrolet (cardióloga) y Joann Nieves (enfermera practicante) comenzaron a atenderla.  Como Navaeh necesitaba una cirugía, vimos un video de YouTube del Dr. Redmond Burke (cardiocirujano) que muestra cómo realizaría la operación. Esto nos alivió en muchos aspectos. El 6 de enero de 2009, el Dr. Burke realizó la cirugía a corazón abierto que nuestra hija necesitaba. Navaeh tiene 18 meses y está excelente. Tenemos fe en el Nicklaus Children's Hospital, anteriormente Miami Children's Hospital – todos han sido maravillosos. Gracias a todos”.
