PLEASE READ MY STORY ... I Need YOUR HELP!
PLEASE HELP ME!

Romina Diaz Esqueda was born on March 31, 2014, in Pachuca, Mexico.
At birth the doctors realized she had abdominal distension,  the valuation took place at Hospital del Niño DIF in the city of Pachuca on suspicion of Intestinal Atresia. That day Romina was moved to that unit.



Romina was moved to the  NICU, in a very serious condition, the third day after she was  born was she had surgery, where exploratory laparotomy was performed. After the surgery the doctors diagnosed her with ATRESIA INTESTINAL TYPE IIIB, with sealed hole in the proximal atretic segment in repaired, multiple loose flanges and viable intestines with 10 cm of jejunum without possibility for performing anastomosis whereby the inside ends are left closed.
Leaving the surgery, the doctor informed us that unfortunately there was nothing else to do Romina, her malformation of the intestine was so severe that there was nothing else to do. The doctors said  Romina will onnly be alive for no more than a week. And if we waned her to survive would be for her to have an intestinal transplant, which has never been done in Mexico, only in USA.




Romina remained in service NICU for 2 and a half months remained fasting and total parenteral nutrition.



At  the age of 2 months and a half Romina had another surgery performed.During surgery the remaining intestine was found 30 cm of jejunum, 30 cm of colon including cecum, transverse ascending, sigmoid and descending straight side anastomosis was performed. This was  with the purpose of parenteral nutrition and attempt to take enteral nutrition.
Enteral stimulation at 5 days, with extensive hydrolyzate, however most was started to tolerate an ounce, and presented bilious vomiting, refusing enteral feeding.



After the sufgery she presented evidence of infection with pneumonia, at that time the doctors had to remove the central catheter in the left saphenous because of infection. The Pneumonia needed the assistance of a ventilator for 1 month and a half , in which she suffered two cardiorespiratory arrest.


After that the doctors tried twice to place the catheter in her neck and then in the femoral, detecting the veins are sclerotic, so I was made a angiotomography, sensing that the only option you have the azygos vein to place a Central Catheter long stay.
On September 30, 2014, the placement of the catheter into the azygos vein was performed, for what right thoracotomy is performed, on October 2 suffers another cardiac arrest in which is achieved revive after 8 minutes.


After seeing my baby caught him so eager to keep on living, I set out to do something to save his life, so I contact the Indiana University Health, to demonstrate the case, and after sending summary doctor and studies, they sent me the quote of the cost of transplantation...
$848,000 USD



After 20 days on the ventilator, was achieved des intubate. 



Attending physicians felt that Romina was stable to go home, and on October 31, 2014, we gave it high, after 7 long months in hospital, Romina get home, feeding parenterally (nutrient vein). His mother placed him daily nutrition, which retails for about $ 60 dls daily.


Now having to Romina at home, we go against time, anytime you can infect the catheter and there would be no other place to supply parenteral nutrition, as she no longer has more central veins where I could get another catheter, parenteral nutrition causes liver damage, and when this happens will be irreversible.

ROMINA NEEDS BE TRANSPLANTED URGENTLY!! 
WE HAVE NO TIME.

Please help us, we do not have the resources to cover the cost of the surgery, and I need to save the life of my daughter. I promise to make a good person, a human being exemplary, she has shown that wants to live ah fought like a true warrior, I'm sure it has a very important mission in this life, I swear bring in the best way.

Please help me!
