My birthday wish: A heart for
Chimamanda
By Paul Ibe
Her
name is Chimamanda Isiguzo. She is only two years and 10 months old. Like for
every baby, her parents, Mr and Mrs Azubuike Isiguzo had great dreams for her.
But that dream may be marred by the discovery, after an initial diagnosis and
conclusive tests that Chimamanda has a heart problem. According to the
Echocardiogram report signed by Dr. Chinyenre Uzodimma, Consultant Paediatric
Cardiologist at X-Serve Clinics in Surulere, Lagos, little Chimamanda indicated
"complex cyanotic congenital heart disease." Consequently the doctor
recommended "cardiac catheterization and angiogram; surgery." Well
the good news is that there is a diagnosis of the medical problem of
Chimamanda, who incidentally has started kindergarten school.
