Since childhood, my kid was suffering from a congenital heart defect which affected his health a lot. And if you are asking what is a congenital heart defect, well, let me explain it to you as the cardiologist explained it to me at Novomed Centers in Dubai. CHD is a condition in which the heart has a problem with its structure since birth. Some of these problems are simple and don’t require any treatment, some others are very dangerous and require treatment and several surgeries.
I remember when I gave birth to my baby and hold him for the first in my arms, he was so small and was crying all the time. Suddenly I noticed that his skin is pale, with blue lips and heavy breathing. I called the nurse who immediately took the baby to the emergency room and they had to do the necessary tests to make sure he is ok. I was very anxious, nobody was telling me what is going on, no one was talking to me about what they are doing, even my husband and my family were trying to make me feel that everything is ok, but I knew deep side that my baby is not ok.
Then the doctor came to me and told me that my son is suffering from Congenital Heart Defect, and he will have to take some medications to prevent any complications, and later on, he will have to undergo several surgeries. I start crying and screaming and didn’t want to believe what the doctor is saying. They had to give me some medication to relax and I fell asleep. When I woke up, my husband was next to me, I asked him if what I heard was true, he shacked his head in a sign of yes, and I asked him how is our baby, he told me he is fine and they are taking care of him.
After 1 week, we went home, and immediately I booked an appointment with the cardiologist at Novomed in Dubai and took my child so she can examine him. She was very friendly and calm and ensured me that everything will be ok with my child, but there are some instructions that he had to follow later on in his life. But she assured me that the surgeries are safe, and my kid will feel much better. Now my son is 10 years old, he had his last heart surgery last year, and now he is enjoying his childhood as all kids do.
I am really grateful for the best cardiologist in Dubai! Thank you Novomed!
