‘Gratitude’ as sick baby in Montreal cleared for medical flight home to Argentina
On Monday, baby Augusto — who will be eight months on Tuesday — smiled for the first time since becoming sick just over two weeks ago.
“Seeing him laugh is what I missed the most because he would spend his days laughing,” said Augusto’s father Matías Andretich. “Every day there is a little bit of progress, and it makes us so happy.” Augusto’s progress means he is now stable enough to fly back to their home country to continue treatment — a departure from last week.On Friday, when Global News first spoke to Andretich and his wife, Emilia Abratte, physicians at the pediatric intensive care unit at the Montreal Children’s Hospital weren’t quite sure why their son Augusto was so sick.
But on Sunday, there was a breakthrough and doctors were finally able to make a preliminary diagnosis. “It is clearer that it is a rhombencephalitis,” said Andretich, adding that what caused it hasn’t been determined yet.More on Canada
