SISIR KIRAN VARMA

My second baby was born at 10:15 AM IST on 17 July, 2011, in Talli Pillala Hospital in Tuni in East Godavari district.

Recently it was discovered that he got dextrocardia. It means his heart is to the right of the body.

Cardiologist D M R Jagannadha Raju, Apollo Hospitals, Visakhapatnam, conducted ECHO for our baby and advised us to take him to Innova Children's Heart Hospital at Tarnaka in Secunderabad for the advice of Dr K Sambha Murthy (noted Congenital Heart Surgeon in Andhra Pradesh and the MD of this hospital).

There are multiple disorders (congenital) in the formation of his heart.

We got him checked at Innova Children's Heart Hospital at Tarnaka on 6 August, 2011.

Cardiologist Gauthami checked his ECHO and ECG reports and explained me the complications of his heart. She said that Pulmonary Artery Banding (PAB) may be required to improve the functioning of his heart.

On 8 August, 2011, Cardiologist K Sambha Murthy advised us to use two medicines (Aldactone tablets and Furoped solution) for three months and bring him back for tests. His heart condition may improve during this time.

A 20-day-old baby looking well externally but suffering from congenital disorders is a matter of pain for me.

Now this baby (his name is Sisir Kiran Varma as finalized by me) is consuming breast milk and his body is functioning well despite these complex disorders in his heart.
