The bond between Christina and her daughter Nadia is so strong that Christina rejected the opinion of numerous doctors in her pursuit of the truth.
After visiting several doctors, Nadia was finally diagnosed with an extremely rare heart condition called a ‘vascular ring’.
It essentially means that the arteries surrounding Nadia’s throat grew abnormally, and eventually formed a ‘ring’ around it, making it extremely difficult for her to swallow.
Nadia was put through two heart surgeries in order to correct the problem.
But thankfully they have been a success so far, and the brave little girl is well on her way to recovery – thanks to her mom trusting her own instincts.
Watch a broadcast on the story below:
What bravery from this mom to trust her own instincts! Please share with any parents you know so that they can get the courage to do the same.
