After years of waiting for technology to "catch up" for Mailia, we have finally found doctors, procedures and therapies designed to help her. We believe that the simultaneous combination of these treatments will be beneficial to her ultimate healing from Eisenmenger's Syndrome.

In order to facilitate Mailia’s chance for survival, we must find a way to finance her many surgeries and therapies she will require in the near future.  

Adult Stem Cell Transplant - Phase 1 & 2

These procedures will be done in Florida and the Dominican Republic through Regenocyte.  The cost was $75,500 for the first procedure, including trip expenses, and will be another $75,500 for the second procedure.

   Update:  On June 2, 2010 Mailia received her first adult stem cell transplant in Florida and the Dominican Republic.   Phase 2 or the second procedure will most likely occur in the fall of 2011 as soon as funds become available.

Possible Surgical Procedures:  Pulmonary Artery Banding, Double Flap Patch to the VSD or Right Ventricle Assist Device - Phase 3

One of these procedures will be done by Mailia's heart surgeon Dr. Michael Black at California Pacific Medical Center in S.F., Ca.

Open heart surgery to correct and patch the Ventricular Septal Defect (hole in the heart) and banding removal - Phase 4

Surgery to patch the VSD and removal of the PA band, after the second stem cell procedure, will be for the most part, covered by insurance excluding other expenses.

Additional therapies:

Most of these treatments are not covered by our medical insurance. We are confident however, that with the help of generous and compassionate supporters – people just like you – we will be able raise the capital to pay for Mailia's stem cell transplants and these outlined treatments.  And so we reach out to you, humbly requesting your help in raising the required resources for Mailia’s surgeries and therapies.

All our gratitude, love and blessings!
