How a short trip to Canada turned into a nightmare for an Argentinian family
By Sunday, after they had finally arrived in Montreal, Augusto wasn’t eating and wouldn’t take his medicine.“We come here and in less than a minute it was like 15 people over our little Augusto,” said his father. “It was crazy, we didn’t understand anything.”“He wasn’t responsive and barely breathing on his own,” she recounted, explaining baby Augusto needed to be resuscitated.
He was intubated and is feed his mother’s milk through a tube that goes directly to his stomach. He also underwent a procedure which required drilling into his bones, to allow for rapid medicine delivery.‘That’s emotions, mama’: B.C. boy and mom share heartfelt talk before bedtime“Our best theory is that it’s a kind of inflammation that is affecting his brain and his brain stem that is making him unable to move and even have the strength to breathe on his own,” said Dr. Samara Zavlkoss.
One thing the medical team in Montreal is sure of, however, is that Augusto needs to be back home in Argentina. “We’d really like to get him home so his family can be with their family and he can keep getting the medical care he needs,” Zavlkoss said.
