Iโm creating this account to share the story and journey of my little daughter,
Amatullah, who is just two months old and is currently battling a serious congenital heart condition.
No form of support is too small for us right now. Even sharing her story could help us reach someone who can make a difference.
May God ease this journey for our little girl, and grant Amatullah complete healing.
If youโre reading this, I humbly ask you to support us in whatever way you can - pray for Amatullah, share her story so it can reach more people, or contribute towards her surgery if youโre in a position to do so.
But through it all, Amatullah keeps fighting.
I want to use this page to document her journey - her diagnosis, investigations, treatment, surgery, recovery and, God willing, the day we can finally share the beautiful news that she is well.
This has been an incredibly difficult season for our family - hospital visits, evaluation, difficult conversations, fear and uncertainty. There have been moments when prayer was the only thing we could hold on to.
We have been advised to prepare approximately โฆ11,150,000 for her surgery and related care. For us, this is an enormous amount, and we are racing against time to give our little girl the treatment she needs.
During a recent consultation, the surgeon explained that we cannot afford to delay her treatment. Her condition can change unpredictably, and waiting could increase the risks she faces.
Nothing could have prepared us for that news.
We were referred to Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex (OAUTHC), Ile-Ife, where her diagnosis was reconfirmed.
That scan changed everything.
Instead of simply confirming that the pneumonia was gone, we discovered that Amatullah had a congenital heart defect - Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA), along with two holes in her heart.
After her treatment, we returned to the hospital to confirm that the pneumonia had cleared completely. As part of the follow-up, an echocardiogram (heart scan) was carried out at a private hospital.
Amatullah was born via C-section. Shortly after birth, she became unwell and was diagnosed with pneumonia. She was admitted to the hospital and received treatment for several days.
