are you there God? it's me, Pia

Lucas hasn't gotten better since my last post. last week he started wheezing so my sister brought him to the doctor. she said that it was a sign of heart failure, and that they need surgery as soon as possible. monday he was admitted in the Philippine Heart Center, and was being prepped for surgery on wednesday. after his cardiac catheterization procedure, his doctors tell my sister that their surgical plan will not work because what he needs is more complex than what they can provide.

WTF?!

you would think that they would have known that 2 months back when Lucas was diagnosed with Truncus Arteriosus.

or they would should have told my sister that Plan B is to look for a hospital outside of the Philippines.

to top off all this frustration, Lucas was referred to the royal children's hospital in melbourne. i emailed them and asked for the requirements, but got an "unfortunately we cannot accept overseas patients at this time".

so we're on a pressure cooker hunt for a hospital and a sponsor - Lucas needs this operation within a week or two.

so God, if you are online, this is me sending out an SOS. send my sister a miracle please.
