Suggest Treatment For Brain Damage

I had a perfect baby boy that went in for a surgery and it went fine. Then 2 days later his heart stopped and was down for 45 mins. We have found out that he has brain damage but I was wondering if you knew anything that would help him. I am just wanting things that might be able to help him. Please help.

Dear User,

Thank you for your question, sorry for what you and your baby had to go through. Brain is a very plastic organ, with proper care your baby might pick up developmental pace close enough to his peers, nevertheless its important to keep your expectations realistic. caring for your baby with love and affection is the most important help you can provide now. its very important to address why his heart stopped in the first place, to prevent it from happening again. refer to a neuropediatrician for proper monitoring of your child's case, hope that was helpful.

best regards,
Dr. Nazzal
