Topic: Donations to Provide Funding for Biliary Atresia Surgery for Infant [SUCCESS] (Read 1096 times)

update on baby Ethan :

the crypto OG who initiated this effort has made some suggestions on dietary improvements for baby Ethan.

1. The starchy carbohydrates such as rice, potato, casava are actually making the liver fat. Much better to eat green Saba banana that has been boiled, as the green banana has more fiber and digests more slowly.

2. The low-fat milk and all the cows milk is not really that healthy. It will also cause fat on the liver. He probably needs some milk for the nutrients, but you can also sometime put fresh coconut milk mixed in his food, which will provide many of the healthy nutrients. Actually coconut milk is very healthy for the liver, because the medium-chain fatty acids detoxify the liver. Actually natural coconut is the most healthy fat Ethan can eat. Even more healthy than olive oil. Actually olive oil is not that healthy in my experience, it makes my liver more fat.

3. Green leafy vegetables actually remove fat from the liver and cure the liver. The more green leafy vegetables he eats, the more healthy he will be.

These are not my words, I’m just passing it along…

Thx for the update, very glad I made part of helping out …

Best of luck

Hey, that's so cool! Thank you for taking the initiative to help them.

UPDATE.

A photo forwarded of baby Ethan's diseased liver:

Thanks for the update.
 That is amazing!  I had no idea a partial liver transplant could be done and apparently, the donor's liver will regrow and work normally in 6 to 8 weeks.

UPDATE:

Ethan received his liver transplant. They ended up using half of his mother's liver. They're both apparently doing well.

UPDATE :

Baby Ethan has arrived in India

UPDATE :
 
They are in the plane on the way to India.

UPDATE :

Baby Ethan is scheduled to fly to India within approximately two weeks. Also Erwin Tulfo donated P1 million to the cause, but it’s not clear if this was exclusively for baby Ethan or for all infants in the Philippines affected by this ailment.

We will follow-up with results and evidence of the outcome for baby Ethan.

Update on baby Ethan from the Philippines:

[12:13 AM, 1/13/2022] Michelle Carpio: Nathan is ok now with continues medications. To maintain his health to make it ready for the operations. As what I have mentioned before, there are a couple of foundations that are collaborating to make his LT possible. And as of the moment, we are still waiting for the update of the Bil foundation to signal us on what to do next. With regards the initial funds that you provided it is still complete here. No need to worry about it because it is safe and will be used once we are ready to fly to India. Then, next in line is our Visa processing.

[12:13 AM, 1/13/2022] Michelle Carpio: That's my cousin's message

My reply:

Disappointing. Can you ask her for what they are doing to contact the foundation and to find out what the problem is?

[6:30 AM, 1/13/2022] Michelle Carpio: The mother of the baby said that foundation will be reopening this month that's what they are waiting .. and after that they will process the visa and what's the next step for them to do.

[6:37 AM, 1/13/2022] Michelle Carpio: They contacted it through messenger, they have group chat .. also the other foundation they're applying already approved and will ready to donate an amount of 500k in Apollo hospital in India.

Minor update: I was given screenshots of the recent ₱200,000 transfers:

Anon Bitcoin OG could snapshot this thread as local, static html version and save it somewhere for later display.
I'm glad it worked, what a fine community. For my part, i was thinking how much bitcoin did for me, so it was easy to give back a little.
Have a good time!

Hey, very happy to hear that. Now we just have to keep our fingers crossed that everything goes well. If anyone prays, please pray for the child.

Feels good to know that we made it, let's hope all ends well.

Thx for the update also best of luck, its out of our hands now.

GJ, hope the doctors can take it from here

We made it! Thanks to everyone who helped!

I updated the OP, but we ended up with around P624,000, which was more than the P500,000 requested. That excess $2,000 or so will be very useful to help with travel expenses and the various follow-up medical care. Also, I will continue to update this thread as I get more information.
