Sadly, the Iraqi baby brought to Israel to correct a congenital heart defect has died despite the best efforts of hospital staff. It does nothing to detract from the great initial story, but it is a dissappointing ending.
An Iraqi baby brought to Israel with a serious heart defect died Wednesday, just over three weeks after undergoing emergency surgery in an Israeli hospital in a desperate attempt to save her life.
The Israeli medical charity that arranged the flight for month-old Bayan Jassem and her parents said that following the 10-hour operation on Nov. 26, Bayan developed bleeding in her lungs and other complications that led to a multiple failure of vital functions.
"All the medical team's efforts to overcome these problems failed," the Save a Child's Heart foundation said...
..."The baby's parents thanked the medical team for all its efforts and said what happened to their daughter was the will of God," it added.
really a sad ending.
I hope that some good comes of it...perhaps help change the views of a few people, aobut Israel.
I wonder how long it will be before someone accuses Israel of killing him.
