Mohammed Kamran was born in Dubai Hospital on March 29 weighing just 500 grams after his mother had to be operated upon suddenly. "Huma was diagnosed with bronchial asthma but she was able to conceive after we consulted doctors," recalls Kamran Hassan.
Huma now needs a lung transplant to survive. Her husband is frantically scouting for a live lung donor, an individual who could be anywhere in the world. Gathering the funds needed to support the surgery is another worry for the doting new father.
"This pregnancy put pressure on both the mother and child necessitating a Caesarian section on Huma when she was just 22-weeks pregnant," explained Kamran. He recounted how, when the complications started, Huma was taken to the American Hospital and shifted to the ICU but was later referred to Dubai Hospital, where her condition worsened.
"She delivered a premature baby, but the delivery worsened her condition. The doctors told me to take her home and that they could not do anything more for her... I was advised to buy an oxygen concentrator machine so as to keep her alive till I found a suitable donor," said Kamran, a man struggling to handle a new job, a dying wife and a delicate child.
Observes Dr Khan in his report, "This rare lung disorder results in scarring of the lungs with resultant difficulty in breathing incapacitating the patient as the disease advances."
Besides being worried over the costs, Kamran has already searched the worldwide web for a possible donor but to no avail. Huma is unable to walk even a few steps without feeling faint. "Lung transplant is an expensive option entailing over $300,000. My insurance company has also backed out after hearing of the monstrous expenses but I will not give up," said the determined Kamran.
Against this backdrop, little Mohammed has only just been brought back home from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in Dubai Hospital. Weighing in at a little more credible 2.7kg, Mohammed had suffered a brain haemorrhage during the delivery.
