Kai - Heart Warrior

My nephew Kai was diagnosed 3 weeks after birth. My sister, Tanja, took him to his pediatrition after she noticed he was sleeping most of the time and gained little to no weight as he mostly fell asleep during feeds.

He was diagnosed almost immediately and spent more or less two months in hospital to gain weight for his open heart surgery. Before we knew he was ready and transferred to Christian Barnard Hospital to go the theatre.

After 6-7 loooong hours he came out of theatre. Surgery was a success
