Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - July 6, 2004, Winnipeg, Manitoba A12 Canada / world Winnipeg free press tuesday july 6, 2004 heartsick afghan boy worse than previously diagnosed by Sandra cordon o Ottawa ? a heartsick Little afghan boy brought to Canada last week for life saving medical treatment is in worse condition than previously thought doctors said yesterday. Djamshid Djan Popal who travelled Halfway around the world for help is in intensive care in an Ottawa children a Hospital As doctors try to strengthen him for possible heart surgery. After a weekend of tests specialists have found the emaciated nine year old has significant damage to three of his four heart valves ? a much More Seri Ous condition than previously diagnosed when Djamshid left his tiny Mountain Village in Afghanistan last week. It unfortunately appears that it is a very significant and severe problem. Leading to him being in a very fragile state said or. Robert Gow chief of cardiology at the children a Hospital of Eastern Ontario. The boys heart problems which have wasted his Small body apparently Stem from an infection that would have been easily treatable had he lived in a devel oped country like Canada added Gow. The question now is whether Djamshid ? whose condition has been worsening for three years ? can regain enough strength in time to face gruelling treatment. Even doing one valve of the heart can be a very stressful operation so we need to get him to a place. Where he would be Able to come through that sort of surgery said Gow. So it is a very significant serious frail and exhausted by a 36-hour Jour Ney Djamshid ? accompanied by his father Shafiullah and a Canadian forces medic ? flew to Toronto by Way of Pakistan and England last Friday Only to be driven another four hours to Ottawa a Cheo. Homesick scared and lonesome for his Mother Sohaila and his four Broth ers and Sisters Djamshid has been sedated in an Effort to help him rest. His father rarely leaves the boys Side said Gow who called Shafiullah quite a remarkable person. This is All new to him he a watching us very a newfound family Friend who helped bring the father and son to Ottawa for treatment said on saturday the boy had been feeling a Little bit sad because he missed his he Djamshid wants to go Back Home now said Saddiqui Khan of Hamilton ont., who Speaks the same Lan Guage As the opals and helped translate when they arrived. The boy is resting in the intense care unit using a ventilator to help him breathe plus steady doses of antibiotics to fight infection. Its too soon to Tell when if Ever he will be Strong enough to withstand the surgery to repair his damaged valves. But doctors also can to wait too Long said Gow. Its a balance Between getting people to a certain Point of wellness for surgery and waiting too Long. We be got to find the Best combination of those two its not Clear what caused Djamshid a condition which Likely could have been prevented if he had received the kind of Early treatment common in developed countries. Such cases Are now extremely rare in Canada said Gow. Nearly All patients with such problems Hail from less devel oped nations with poor health care. But in the past outbreaks of infections like rheumatic fever have caused similar problems for previous generations of canadians. ?
