Wacky @ 10 months

On Wacky's Health

Wacky is now weighing 7.4 kg, still 2.6 kg shy of the required 10 kg for the liver operation. As the family continues to raise funds for the liver transplant, Wacky's health is being closely monitored by his doctor.

Wacky underwent several vaccine shots last December 2010: mmr vaccine for the immunization against measles, mumps and rubella (also called German measles) and varicella vaccine for the prevention from chickenpox. He'll be taken to the doctor on Feb 11 for another set of lab tests to check if the vaccines are absorbed by his body system.

 Raymond, his father, have already taken anti-hepatitis b vaccine shot, undergone blood tests (he is scheduled for the 2nd wave of blood test) and liver ultrasound. Wacky's mother, Caress, has already started taking up blood tests last Jan 17 -- parallel with Raymond's lab tests in case he is incompatible as Wacky's liver donor.

Both Wacky and Raymond will undergo liver CT angiogram sometime in February. It is a test required to determine compatibility of Raymond as the liver donor. Result of this test will be forwarded to Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Taiwan where they will screen it and approve/accept Wacky's liver tranplant application. The test will be done in Makati Medical Center, the only Philippine hospital recommended by Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital since both their laboratory equipments are compatible. The liver CT angiogram for both Wacky and Raymond will already cost an approximate of  Php100,000.

Status of Fund Raising

The family is very happy to have raised around Php1.2 million as of this time from the dinner for a cause,  fireworks sale, signature campaign, and contribution from the Cavite governor (Jonvic Remulla). Donations and initiatives from family, relatives, co-workers, friends, former classmates, neighbors and even people we don't personally know but are supporting our cause has helped us raise the amount. Although we still fall very short of the needed amount, the help that came our way have raised our hopes in bringing Wacky to Taiwan for the much needed liver tranplant operation. THANK YOU for supporting our cause, we are truly grateful of the help you have given us.

Raymond and Caress hope to bring Wacky to Taiwan by March (he's turning 1 year old then) -- and as we still need the amount to be able to achive this, we continue calling for your help. You may donate to the ff. bank accounts or thru PAYPAL (pls see paypal link in the right section of this page)
