Here is our original post about Fury:
Fury was a bright and precocious five-year-old when she was brought to the clinic in 2009. The type of little girl who twirls proudly in her ruffled princess dress, and tugs on your sleeve to get your attention. We met Fury when her mother brought her to us, worried about her blue nailbeds and that she becomes breathless when she lies down. She took our RN Trisha’s hand and held it tight when she first arrived at the clinic. On exam her blood oxygen was dangerously low, and she had a loud heart murmur. We sent her to Davao for immediate tests which confirmed serious congenital heart abnormalities.
We are working out the details to bring Fury here to Oregon for surgery at Emanuel hospital. A team has volunteered their time but we are waiting for funding for her hospital expenses. Meanwhile the clock keeps ticking, and her chances for survival continue to diminish. Without this intervention soon, she will never reach adulthood. We are praying now for funds to make it happen. Please keep Fury and her family in your prayers.
Fury with Trisha
