La Fuerza de un Niño: ayudemos a Christian Molina.

Hola, soy Karina Fuentes mamá de Christian Molina.

Desde que nació Chris fue niño completamente sano, pero a principios de este año empezó con náuseas, vómitos, pérdida del equilibro y mucho sueño. Acudí a un doctor el cual vino a casa y me dijo que Chris tenía un síndrome EMETICO y le mando gotas para el vómito.

Efectivamente se le quito el vómito pero mi corazón de madre sabia que algo no iba bien con el niño, me decían que eran cosas mías. Sin dudarlo pedí cita con su pediatra quien me confirmó que no eran cosas mías y que le debía hacer una resonancia magnética de emergencia. Al tener los resultados de inmediato me refirieron con un Dr. Neurocirujano quien nos explicó la gravedad del caso.

Chris tenia un tumor muy grande que le había creado una hidrocefalia obstructiva aguda e hipertensión endocraneal, la verdad no sé explicar con palabras lo que sentí en ese momento, el mundo se me vino encima, no entendía nada, el seguro por plazo de espera no concedió la cobertura. Gracias a Dios y a muchos ángeles terrenales, de los que probablemente TÚ fuiste uno, se logró operar de emergencia el 13/01/2024.

Se realizo la operación pensando que todo terminaría allí, pero la biopsia dio como diagnóstico: EPENDIMOMA ANAPLASICO (Grado III OMS).

Los doctores me indican que es un tumor agresivo (DE CRRECIMIENTO RAPIDO) por lo cual necesita tratamiento urgentemente, adicionalmente, se le hizo una resonancia nuevamente de cráneo y de médula espinal donde lamentablemente se pudo confirmar que le quedó enfermedad residual y que está creciendo nuevamente, a demas la lesión se diseminó a su médula espinal.

El tratamiento principal es la radioterapia, con apoyo de quimioterapia y aquí en VENEZUELA lamentablemente no hay a nivel público radioterapia para niños de la edad de Chris (3 añitos), además el necesita para hacerse este tratamiento sedación.

Indagando, he logrado informarme sobre un país donde la medicina está más avanzada y han visto muchos casos de niños con el tumor que tiene Chris y con el tratamiento indicado, han logrado salvarles la vida. Para mi es una esperanza real, les suplico por favor de todo corazón que me ayuden a salvarle la vida a Christian. Ayúdenme a continuar luchando por él, a mantener su sonrisa tan fantástica, a que tenga oportunidad de una vida, de crecer como un niño sano como cualquier otro, a sacarlo del país para que puedan ver su caso y realizar su tratamiento, que el dinero o los medios no sean un impedimento para poder llevar a Chris a tratar su caso.

Muchísimas gracias.

¡Dios está con nosotros! AMÉN!.

Hi, I'm Karina Fuentes, mom of Christian Molina.

Since he was born Chris was a completely healthy boy, but at the beginning of this year he started with nausea, vomiting, loss of balance and very sleepy. I went to a doctor who came to my house and told me that Chris had an EMETIC syndrome and sent him vomiting drops.

He did indeed stop vomiting but my motherly heart knew that something was not right with the child, I was told that it was just me. Without hesitation I made an appointment with his pediatrician who confirmed that it was not my fault and that he should have an emergency MRI. When I got the results immediately I was referred to a Dr. Neurosurgeon who explained the seriousness of the case.

Chris had a very large tumor that had created an acute obstructive hydrocephalus and endocranial hypertension, the truth is I can not explain in words what I felt at that moment, the world came over me, I did not understand anything, the insurance waiting period did not grant coverage. Thanks to God and to many earthly angels, of which probably YOU were one of them, we were able to perform the emergency surgery on 01/13/2024.

The operation was performed thinking that everything would end there, but the biopsy gave as diagnosis: ANAPLASIC EPENDIMOMA (Grade III OMS).

The doctors tell me that it is an aggressive tumor (FAST GROWING) so he needs treatment urgently, additionally, he had a new MRI of the skull and spinal cord where unfortunately it was confirmed that he had residual disease and that it is growing again, in addition the lesion spread to his spinal cord.

The main treatment is radiotherapy, with chemotherapy support and here in VENEZUELA unfortunately there is no public radiotherapy for children of Chris' age (3 years old), besides he needs sedation for this treatment.

Inquiring, I have managed to find out about a country where medicine is more advanced and they have seen many cases of children with the tumor that Chris has and with the right treatment, they have managed to save his life. For me it is a real hope, I beg you please with all my heart to help me save Christian's life. Help me to continue fighting for him, to keep his fantastic smile, to help him have the opportunity to have a life, to grow up as a healthy child like any other, to take him out of the country so that they can see his case and carry out his treatment, that money or means are not an impediment to be able to take Chris to treat his case.

Thank you very much.

God is with us! AMEN.
