The Sant Joan de Déu hospital in Barcelona awaits the arrival of Oliver Moreno, a two-and-a-half-year-old Spanish boy who suffers from a brain tumor and who is currently in Cancun, Mexico, the country where he lives with his parents. His relatives assure that the doctors give him 15 days to live if he does not get an urgent operation. The family had planned to leave on Sunday night to arrive in Barcelona on Monday, but the flight plan was delayed and the airline offers an alternative route to land in the Catalan capital on Wednesday at noon, as confirmed by the minor’s uncle, David Rosemary.
An anonymous donor has assumed the cost of the child’s transfer with a medical plane, which feeds the hopes of the family. “It is a joy that there are good people left and that they altruistically donate the money to rent the medicalized plane and bring Oliver to Spain”, Romero has celebrated in statements to Spanish Television.
Sant Joan de Déu is a reference pediatric hospital in Spain and Europe, and a spokesperson admits that the center will carry out new tests on the minor when he arrives from Mexico to confirm the diagnosis. “The prognosis will not be given until they see it, but they are more favorable because the health capacity of Sant Joan de Déu is superior to that of the Mexican health system,” the uncle insisted.
After the message of hope from the Spanish hospital, the family waits for the plane to leave in a hotel in Cancun. “We don’t want to go to the ER and spend the night there with all the bags until Oliver is put to bed. Someone tell me if Oliver’s life is at more risk. They are playing with our son’s time, ”the minor’s father, Alejandro Moreno, commented on Sunday through his social networks.
Oliver lives with his family in Mexico, where on October 13 he was diagnosed with a grade four brain tumor. That same day, his parents took him to the hospital after the first symptoms: apathy, lack of appetite. After the diagnosis, the minor’s condition worsened and he was treated for the first time in Mexico. But the family assures that the operation that his son needs cannot be carried out successfully in the country.
An anonymous Spanish businessman has paid 196,400 euros (almost four million pesos) to make a medicalized plane available to the little one and fly to Spain, according to the newspaper The world. The mother will travel on the medicalized plane, while the father will fly to Spain from a commercial flight.
