Originally, my mother worked full-time, but when she found out that my daughter had a heart condition, she had to quit her job to take care of her child. Her main source of income came from my father. My family is middle-class. They knew that my daughter had a heart condition since she was still in her womb, about 7 months pregnant. Her heart had a blockage in one chamber, but the doctor asked her to wait and see what would happen after she was born. After 2 days, my daughter started to show signs of cyanosis and cyanosis because her blood vessels were starting to narrow. If she left it like this, it would become blocked, preventing blood from flowing to her body. The doctor at Surat Thani Hospital informed her that she might not live many days. She could take her home or if she had surgery, there was a 50:50 chance of survival. It was up to the parents to decide what to do. When I heard that, I was heartbroken. However, since I had found out that my daughter had a congenital heart condition since she was in her womb, I had studied some information about heart disease. I knew that if she had surgery promptly, she would have a chance of recovery. So, we agreed to have the surgery. However, my daughter’s condition started to get worse on Friday evening, but it was the weekend, so I had to wait until Monday morning. The hospital in Surat Thani performed an echo and sent her to Songkhlanagarind Hospital for further treatment. When he arrived at the hospital, they gave him an injection to dilate his blood vessels and waited to see if he was ready for surgery. After waiting for 2-3 days, they performed a basalectomy when he was only 7 days old. When he got better, they took him home, but the doctor informed him that he would not be fully cured and that he would need another major surgery. They said they would have to wait until he was older, stronger, and weighed more before they could have another surgery. The doctor could not specify when that would be, and it depended on his condition, and they could only monitor his condition every 2 weeks. When he was 6-7 months old, he started to have symptoms of a blocked coronary artery and his fingernails and toenails started to turn green. He was sent to the Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Foundation for surgery, which was performed at Rajavithi Hospital in Bangkok. After the surgery, his mother who was taking care of him got chickenpox, so the doctor did not allow him to take care of him because she was afraid that he would infect him. His mother had to go back home to Surat Thani to receive treatment. As for Nong Arte, he became the child of the nurses in the cardiac surgery ward. The nurses took turns taking care of him while working. Sometimes the nurses would put him in a wheelchair and push him around to work at the various patient beds. However, Nong Arte was a very clingy child who liked to be held all the time. Sometimes the nurses will hold the baby in one hand and work at the same time.

The baby had to stay in the hospital for about 1 month before being able to go home. The doctor informed him that he would need another major surgery before he would be fully recovered and be able to live a normal life. However, he had to wait until he was older and stronger. The parents hoped that another miracle would happen to help Arte get through the major surgery and be able to live a normal life like other children.
