How would you feel if your son is inside the operating room fighting for his life? I've seen the agony of the aunts and grandmother of baby Kaine, he is a new born baby boy. He was born with a hole on his stomach, his small intestine was out and he needed an operation. Luckily, there was a specialist pediatric surgeon available to operate him. He is now inside the Intensive Care Unit wanting to live. I feel for the parents of this little boy. I know they suffer a lot more than their relatives do. Since the mother is still weak, she cannot see him and go to the hospital. I hope he will survive.

I hope that baby Kaine will survive the operation and make steady progress. I feel sorry for him and his parents must be very sad plus worried at this time. Maybe his mother is weak because of his difficult birth.
I found out at 36 weeks pregnancy that my son has spina bifida and hydrocephalus. He was born at home and then he was taken to the hospital. He had an operation to close the hole in his back the day he was born. Then two weeks later he had another operation to put a shunt into his head.
I felt very worried and hoped my little boy would survive. Now he is three years old.

Thanks for the response. Before my son was discharged in the same hospital where Baby Kaine was confined, his Grandmother Lalay told us that his operation seemed to be successful but he is still under observation. They believe that their baby really wants to survive. Just like your little boy, who is now a survivor, a fighter for life. Prayers and faith for baby Kaine.
