[Title] => Girl with heart ailment needs surgery
[Summary] =>
A mother’s heart was broken twice when she discovered that her onlay daughter was born not only with Down Syndrome but with a serious heart ailment as well.
It pains Dinnah Lozada, 39, to know that the life of her year-old daughter Kate will always be on the line unless she goes under the knife to correct her heart disorder.
Shortly after birth, doctors discovered that Kate’s heart had a hole while the ventricles leading to it were not fully developed.

[Title] => Child born with hole in heart needs help
[Summary] => Airman First Class Jonard Cahilig of the Philippine Air Force thought he was bound to be the father of a gymnast or ballerina when his first child was born with unusually flexible extremities.
Sometimes, Jonard and his wife Minfi would find 10-month-old Jonah Macxine asleep with her legs split apart. Both of Jonah’s legs could even be bent sideways.
"You can even put her foot around her neck. She can suck her toes. It was fun to see her doing that," the father said in Filipino.
