At Tender Palm Super Speciality Hospital, Lucknow, we believe that every heartbeat counts — and every life is worth fighting for. This is the inspiring story of how expert medical care, advanced cardiac surgery, and unwavering hope saved the life of a newborn girl diagnosed with a rare congenital heart defect.

Mr. Chetan Arora, a hardware shop owner from Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, and his wife, Nishtha, experienced the joy of parenthood after 12 years of prayers and waiting. On May 18, 2025, their baby girl was born at Madhuraj Hospital. She was their miracle — their dream come true.

However, their joy quickly turned into fear. Their daughter was diagnosed with Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA) — a life-threatening heart condition in newborns that requires immediate and advanced surgical intervention.

Upon recommendation, the Arora family shifted their baby to Tender Palm Super Speciality Hospital, Lucknow on May 23, 2025, in search of expert pediatric cardiac care. They were met with empathy, urgency, and a team ready to act.

Under the exceptional guidance of Dr. Vijay Agarwal, our renowned pediatric cardiac surgeon, the baby was scheduled for open-heart surgery to correct the TGA. On the 11th day after birth (May 28), the baby underwent an intense 11-hour-long open-heart surgery, performed with precision and care by Dr. Agarwal and his dedicated surgical team.

The complex neonatal heart surgery was a success. The entire team at Tender Palm worked tirelessly to stabilize the baby's condition. Her parents, once overwhelmed with fear, found strength and reassurance through the professional care and constant support provided at every stage of the treatment.

“You didn’t just treat our daughter — you gave her a new chance at life,” said Mr. Chetan Arora. “Your expertise and compassion gave us hope when we were most vulnerable.”

Shortly after surgery, the baby developed a severe case of pneumonia, leading to partial lung collapse — a post-operative complication that required immediate intervention. On June 7, 2025, she was shifted to Nelson Hospital, Lucknow, for further treatment under Dr. Vishal Sidana and his pediatric pulmonology team.

After 20 more days of intensive care, the baby finally recovered. Thanks to the teamwork between Tender Palm Hospital and Nelson Hospital, she is now home, healthy, and getting stronger each day.

This amazing story shows how important early diagnosis, skilled pediatric surgery, and coordinated critical care can be.
