M: What do you mean by failure? We haven’t tried all the options yet. I know there’s many option out there
D: It’s not that simple mam, heart failure is a progressive condition. And for a child I’m not sure if he can hold on for long. It’s time for heart transplant but in our country donor is hard to come by and even if there is a donor we have to make sure it match.
