“He Can’t Play Well”: 12-Month-Old Nigerian Baby Needs N17m for Heart Surgery in UK

• A 12-month-old baby, Jason Oluwatosin Adekunle, is in serious need of every help he can get as there is a hole in his heart
• The boy's mother, Shola, said his heart condition had affected both his growth and other areas of his wellbeing
• Shola painfully narrated how she and her husband have to carefully feed him so he does not vomit his food

A Nigerian mother, Shola Adekunle, has in an exclusive message sent to Legit.ng shared her son's medical reports that showed that her 12-month-old son has a hole in the heart.

She said the hole was diagnosed when the baby was just five months. As a result of his heart condition, Jason finds it very difficult to breathe.

We have to feed Jason carefully

Shola added that the kid constantly sweats profusely. The hole in the heart, which has a primary effect called "pulmonary hypertension," has slowed down the baby's development, making him way younger than his age.

The woman said for the kid to be okay, the family needs about N17m to carry out Jason's open surgery in the UK. When she was asked how the family has been coping in taking care of him and working to make ends meet, she said:

"One of us has to be at home at all time, as his feeding is 2hrs interval, and you can spend 30mins on it cos we have to give him slowly so he doesn't get choked and vomit, his sense is matured to wanting to do physical activities but his inability to do it gets him very angry and he starts crying so we always carry him..."
