Rossouw van Staden ♡

22 November 2023, Rossouw se geboorte. ‘n Dag wat vir baie mamma's & pappa's ongelooflik is het skielik vir ons in n riller verander. 
 
Rossouw is gebore op 37weke deur n noodkeizer. Hierdie klein lyfie het slegs 1.8kg geweeg. Hulle het later deur toetse bepaal dat hy gebore is met CMV.
 
cCMV: a life long Journey.  " CMV (sy-toe-MEG-a-low virus) is a cold-like virus that is harmless to most people. If a pregnant woman catches the virus, it can pass to the growing baby. This is called congenital CMV (cCMV). Congenital CMV/cCMV is a leading cause of childhood hearing loss and developmental disabilities. 1 in 200 infants in the United States are born with cCMV and 1 in 5 will have a permanent disability or health condition due to cCMV. "
 
Ons het agter gekom dat mense bitter min tot niks kennis dra van hierdie virus en daarom het ons n passie om mense bewus te maak van cCMV. 
 
Ons klein Rossouw was vir 33dae in die hospitaal gewees, waarvan hy die meerderheid van die tyd in hoë sorg was. Hy het n verharde lewer met vergroeisel, n vergroote mild & nier versaaking. Hierdie virus is lewens gevaarlik dus is daar nog n lang pad wat op Rossouw wag. 
 
Die rekeninge, behandeling en medikasie is n daaglikse stryd waarmee ons leef. Hierdie is nie n pad wat ons nie alleen kan stap nie. Ons is afhanklik van ons naaste nie net vir bysand en gebede nie maar ook vir donasies. Elke bydra maar n verskil in Rossouw se lewe.
 
Ons as ouers, wil net die beste moontlike behandeling vir ons klein figter he ! Daar is n lewe met cCMV.

Rossouw van Staden ♡

22 November 2023, Rossouw's birth. A day that is incredible for many mums & dads, suddenly became a thriller for us.

Rossouw was born by emergency caesarean at 37 weeks. This little body weighed just 1.8 kg. They later determined through tests that he was born with CMV.

cCMV: a lifelong journey.

CMV (sy-toe-MEG-a-low virus) is a cold-like virus that is harmless to most people. If a pregnant woman contracts the virus, it can pass to the growing baby. This is called congenital CMV (cCMV). Congenital CMV/cCMV is a leading cause of childhood hearing loss and developmental disabilities. 1 in 200 babies in the United States are born with cCMV and 1 in 5 will have a permanent disability or health condition as a result of cCMV. 

We have come to realize that people know very little to nothing about this virus and therefore we have a passion to make people aware of cCMV.

Our little Rossouw was in the hospital for 33 days, most of that time he was in intensive care. He has a hardened liver with growth, an enlarged spleen and kidney failure. This virus is life-threatening, so Rossouw still has a long way to go.

The bills, treatment and medication are a daily struggle we live with. It is not a path we cannot walk alone. We depend not only on our neighbors for help and prayers, but also for donations. Everyone makes a difference in Rossouw's life.

As parents, we only want the best possible treatment for our little fig! There is life with cCMV.
