Vonolele family are full of joy today after their second son, their 1-month old baby Viliame Vonolele was given a new gift of life

The Vonolele family are full of joy today after their second son, their 1-month old baby Viliame Vonolele was given a new gift of life at the Sai Sanjeevani Children's Hospital.

30-year-old Loata Vonolele Qaranivalu, who is the mother of baby Vili, says they are fortunate that the operation was a success.

Qaranivalu says she was so lucky last month after giving birth to baby Vili, however, the doctors had identified symptoms of heart failure in her child and advised them of the services provided by the hospital.

She says she was confident after hearing the news that her son will have his operation done at the Sai Sanjeevani Children's Hospital because she believes that the hospital has got miracle hands in their operation room.

She adds they are grateful that the operation was successful, and it will always be an amazing story for their family after two successful operations were done on their 2 children, including Metuisela Vonolele Jnr, who also suffered from the same sickness and was treated at the hospital last year.

The mother of 4 says after spending over $8,000 for their third son's medical check, they are still lucky that their two sons have got free operations at the Sai Sanjeevani Children's Hospital.
