የታዝማ የልብ ህክምና ቡድን ለአምስት አመት ታዳጊ የተወሳሰበ የልብ ቀዶ ህክምና በተሳካ ሁኔታ አከናወነ!
በተደጋጋሚ ስኬታማ እና ውስብስብ ቀዶ ህክምናዎችን በማድረግ የሚታወቀው ታዝማ የውስጥ ደዌ እና የቀዶ ህክምና ልዩ ማዕከል፣ አሁንም በድጋሚ ለአምስት ዓመቱ ታዳጊ እጅግ ከባድ እና ህይወት አድን የሆነ የልብ ቀዶ ህክምና በተሳካ ሁኔታ ማከናወኑን ስናበስር በታላቅ ደስታ ነው።
ይህ ታዳጊ ከተወለደ ጀምሮ Type IV Truncus Arteriosus በተባለ ከባድ የልብ ህመም ሲሰቃይ ቆይቷል። ይህም ከተወለደ ጀምሮ የተከሰት ውስብስብ የልብ ችግር ሲሆን፣ የታችኛው የቀኝ እና የግራ የልብ ክፍል የሚለየው የልብ ግድግዳ ላይ ክፍተት (ventricular septal defect)፣ ወደ ሳንባ የሚሄዱት የልብ ቧንቧዎች የሚነሱበት ቦታ የተዛባ መሆን፣ እና ከቀኝ የልብ ክፍል ወደ ሳንባ ደም የሚወስደው ትልቁ የደም ቧንቧ (pulmonary artery) አለመፈጠር (pulmonary atresia) ናቸው።

11 of the best films to watch this April
The Shrouds
David Cronenberg's latest sci-fi-tinged drama stars Vincent Cassel as Karsh, an inventor who looks a lot like Cronenberg himself. Grief-stricken by the death of his wife (Diane Kruger), Karsh develops camera systems that can be buried with corpses, so that their relatives can watch them on monitors as they decompose. The invention catches on, but one night some graves containing these high-tech "shrouds" are desecrated, so Karsh and his brother-in-law (Guy Pearce) have to work out who was responsible. This may sound like the kind of scenario that the director of Scanners and The Fly might use to justify lots of gory body horror, but The Shrouds is a "restrained, even elegant" film inspired by Cronenberg's own bereavement, says Steve Pond at The Wrap. "It's a deeply personal look at loss that finds plenty of time to get creepy but never loses sight of the fact that it's a movie about grief… Its focus, which never wavers, is always on the feeling of loss, not the sight of gore."
Released on 18 April in the US
On Swift Horses
Three of Hollywood's brightest young stars get together in On Swift Horses, a handsome period romance directed by Daniel Minhan and adapted from Shannon Pufahl's novel. Daisy Edgar-Jones plays Muriel, the fiancée of an upstanding Korean War veteran, Lee (Will Poulter). He is looking forward to a traditional family life in California in the go-getting 1950s, but when his younger brother Julius (Jacob Elordi) comes to stay, Julius's gay relationships and gambling sprees help Muriel to understand why she is attracted to women and drawn to betting on horse races. Graham Guttman at Screen Rant calls the film a "quietly devastating [story of] great pain and even greater love, all of which is portrayed beautifully by the film's all-star cast", adding: "On Swift Horses, with its sweeping romance and epic nature, feels outside of time, transcending any issues to become something deeply affecting." On the other hand, the BBC's Caryn James considers it "a disappointment [that] works much better as an idea than as a film".
Released on 25 April in the US and Canada, and on 30 April in France
The Legend of Ochi
On a remote island in Eastern Europe, fanged and furry monsters called Ochi lurk in the forests. A farmer (Willem Dafoe) is obsessed by hunting them, but when his shy teenage daughter (Helena Zengel) finds an injured baby Ochi, it turns out to be a big-eyed, pointy-eared beastie that bears a striking resemblance to Gizmo from Gremlins and Grogu from The Mandalorian. The girl then defies her father and takes the creature back to its family – a journey that is visualised using practical rather than digital effects. "The Legend of Ochi, the rare A24 family film, is a charming throwback to adventure movies of the 80s like The Neverending Story and The Dark Crystal," says Brian Tallerico at RogerEbert.com, "complete with original puppetry that reportedly contains not an ounce of CGI manipulation. It feels like a family film made by flesh-and-blood people in an era when computers are doing so much of the work."
Released on 25 April in the US, the UK, Canada and Ireland

On Swift Horses
Three of Hollywood's brightest young stars get together in On Swift Horses, a handsome period romance directed by Daniel Minhan and adapted from Shannon Pufahl's novel. Daisy Edgar-Jones plays Muriel, the fiancée of an upstanding Korean War veteran, Lee (Will Poulter). He is looking forward to a traditional family life in California in the go-getting 1950s, but when his younger brother Julius (Jacob Elordi) comes to stay, Julius's gay relationships and gambling sprees help Muriel to understand why she is attracted to women and drawn to betting on horse races. Graham Guttman at Screen Rant calls the film a "quietly devastating [story of] great pain and even greater love, all of which is portrayed beautifully by the film's all-star cast", adding: "On Swift Horses, with its sweeping romance and epic nature, feels outside of time, transcending any issues to become something deeply affecting." On the other hand, the BBC's Caryn James considers it "a disappointment [that] works much better as an idea than as a film".
Released on 25 April in the US and Canada, and on 30 April in France
The Legend of Ochi
On a remote island in Eastern Europe, fanged and furry monsters called Ochi lurk in the forests. A farmer (Willem Dafoe) is obsessed by hunting them, but when his shy teenage daughter (Helena Zengel) finds an injured baby Ochi, it turns out to be a big-eyed, pointy-eared beastie that bears a striking resemblance to Gizmo from Gremlins and Grogu from The Mandalorian. The girl then defies her father and takes the creature back to its family – a journey that is visualised using practical rather than digital effects. "The Legend of Ochi, the rare A24 family film, is a charming throwback to adventure movies of the 80s like The Neverending Story and The Dark Crystal," says Brian Tallerico at RogerEbert.com, "complete with original puppetry that reportedly contains not an ounce of CGI manipulation. It feels like a family film made by flesh-and-blood people in an era when computers are doing so much of the work."
Released on 25 April in the US, the UK, Canada and Ireland
The Shrouds
David Cronenberg's latest sci-fi-tinged drama stars Vincent Cassel as Karsh, an inventor who looks a lot like Cronenberg himself. Grief-stricken by the death of his wife (Diane Kruger), Karsh develops camera systems that can be buried with corpses, so that their relatives can watch them on monitors as they decompose. The invention catches on, but one night some graves containing these high-tech "shrouds" are desecrated, so Karsh and his brother-in-law (Guy Pearce) have to work out who was responsible. This may sound like the kind of scenario that the director of Scanners and The Fly might use to justify lots of gory body horror, but The Shrouds is a "restrained, even elegant" film inspired by Cronenberg's own bereavement, says Steve Pond at The Wrap. "It's a deeply personal look at loss that finds plenty of time to get creepy but never loses sight of the fact that it's a movie about grief… Its focus, which never wavers, is always on the feeling of loss, not the sight of gore."
