    New implant of an ICD

    You may recall some postings over the past few months from a member in Israel - I received this Private message yesterday and with her permission I am sharing it with you all!

    WE DID IT - Matan has his AICD!!!
    And we are back in the Hotel
    It was done one day before planned
    It was a surprise - Bery BIGGGG
    Every thing went very well
    I sent your regards to Dr. Berul
    He was very understanding
    All the treatment was very good
    All his team was there for us
    THANK YOU!!!

    Daniela

    On a side note - Last year on Christmas Eve - I had asked Daniela to do me a favor. She was on her way to the "Wailing Wall" in Jerusalem - it is custom to place a written prayer in the wall as a way of praying to G-d. As you can imagine you were all in my prayers - but I did ask for special blessings for this dear person I did not know who was so willing to give me an amazing gift for Christmas.

    I hope that little Matan has a quick recovery! I am glad to know this little one is now protected by his ICD (as we know not every child needs an ICD, but when it is called for it can be tricky to be implanted in these little guys)


    Best wishes to Matan!
    Lisa

          Thank you ALL!
          For being here - helping us to make the decision and helping us finding the right place for us to perform the implantation.
          There is only one doctor in Israel able to perform AICd implantation in children and did it only one time in Matan's age group
          (and only 5 in adolescents)
          And because Matan is so little (only 20 Kg. q 6 years old) It was very important to find a center with experience with little children.
          All the posts to this forum were a blessing for me and a BIG source of information and comfort.
          From my heart,
          Daniela.
          Wishes for healh, peace and love!

          Daniela E-H, Mother to Matan-Ben (13 years old) who had his AICD implantation (29/03/04) and Myectomy (14/12/08) and Noga (4 years old) not affected
          Haifa - Israel.
