Update 7.07.09: My mother did an echographic examination a few hours ago and the doctor found her, among other complications, with mitral stenosis. That happens when the space between the valves separating the atrium and the ventricle becomes narrower. That narrowing increases the pressure in the lungs and she can develop a pulmonary edema, which is deadly. Treatments include medical management, surgical replacement of the valve, and percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty. We don’t have enough money to make all these, and all these complications are because of the dialysis she does, that only worsens things. Not to mention that her parathyroid activity led in deposition of calcium all over her body in the last few months, and now she has to undergo surgery to remove the parathyroid gland, otherwise the calcium taken from her very own bones would deposit on any organ. We’ll use part of the money you people donated until now to make the scintigraphy before the operation and the operation itself, very soon. She isn’t able to sleep anymore, she can hardly fall asleep one or two hours a night, coughs all the time.

The thing is my mother’s condition can be cured! Her heart can still recover, her calcium can rise in the bones and… her kidneys can be replaced! But I don’t have the money to do that, my dear friends! I don’t have the resources to keep my mother alive that much so she can see my future children! Please help us… donate as much as you can afford to, please help me save my mother! I promise, I swear I will do my best to use that money and make her healthy again!

If you own a blog or a site, and have a decent audience, please include a donation form along with an explanation… not for me, but for my mother! She deserves to live and see her grandchildren growing! Please! If you can afford a Wii or a jewelery, or something you’ll never use, please so much consider donating your money to my mother… I don’t know what to do anymore… I know I might be pathetic in some eyes, but I really don’t care. If you were in my place, you’d do the same, I guess.

I know you worked for that money. If you saw her laying down the street and knew her story, wouldn’t you work your efforts with me to help her get up? Give her a little of your work, and God will surely keep a record of your action.

In the worst case in which you really don’t have any money to give, please at lease pass this link to a friend…

The donation button is at the bottom of the page. Please, save my mother’s life through it!
