First investigation
ittle Andrei was checked again. Luckily they have not found another fistula in the trachea. He has no problems with the heart and the infection from his lungs is gone. The right vague and frenicus nerves are affected and also the diaphragm on the right side is not functioning and elevated which makes the lungs not able to function at 100%. The German medical staff decided to let him go with it for the moment and to interfere only in case he could not cope with it. We are proposed an intervention consisting in an elongation of the esophagus in order to repair it. The specialist in this procedure and also the inventor of it, is professor Dr. Foker from the University of Minnesota. In USA the operation costs 200.000 EURO( approx $255.000). Dr Gitter invites Dr. Foker in Germany to operate Andrei in a videoconference set up to lower the costs of the procedure.
