“When Sreeganth sees the neighbourhood boys playing cricket, he asks me if he can join them. But before I can even answer, he quietly goes inside the house and watches them sadly from his room. He knows he is not like them; his heart does not let him walk properly for a minute, how will he be able to play for hours?”-Perumal, father of 12-year-old Sreeganth.Sreeganth looks like a normal kid, but his heart can fail him any moment nowThis child was born with a major valve sealed shut along with a hole in his heart, which made oxygen levels in his body dangerously lowThere is an absence natural outflow of blood to the lungs in Sreeganth’s case. Because the valve that should be pumping blood to the veins is completely sealed, the hole has to facilitate this function. This is what results in dangerously low oxygen levels in the body.Sreeganth’s parents were told that his heart may heal on its own, which made his uneducated parents ignore the gravity of his condition for a long time
