This is Camila.
A 6-year-old girl who loves dancing, movie nights, and simply being a child.
Her family traveled from Brownsville to Driscoll Children’s Hospital in Corpus Christi believing this would be the moment that finally healed her heart. A long-awaited heart surgery. A new beginning.
But in the operating room, doctors discovered something far more serious — critical problems in Camila’s brain.
Everything changed.
Instead of one heart surgery, Camila has now endured multiple brain surgeries. Complication after complication. Setback after setback. And with every delay, the heart surgery she still desperately needs is pushed further away.
Tonight, Camila lies in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit.
Machines humming. Lights glowing. Time moving too slowly.
And beside her sits her mother, Brenda — alone, exhausted, and terrified.
Her greatest fear?https://scontent.fdad3-6.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/621801991_1420577449429005_711053864600607601_n.jpg?stp=cp6_dst-jpg_tt6&_nc_cat=102&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=833d8c&_nc_ohc=tpFA3ISHPvEQ7kNvwGbIp5n&_nc_oc=AdkuIT3cZ7bgYfSKH_ZeRtS27Eas7HTG7NgWhObNuZfybBD8TLluwNV8Tv_kR0Ojnqh_0ah9C6MINs4N4CMOnfHu&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent.fdad3-6.fna&_nc_gid=LzQAY98mRzB2m87uZkq24A&oh=00_AfqFPu2-rtJqVuUQEHk7M_aNtkkRiaG_oyT7Qva9NoKZFQ&oe=697BC05F
That the procedure done on January 23rd won’t be the one that finally works.
That each passing day steals another chance for her daughter’s heart to be repaired.
While Camila fights for her life, the whole family feels the weight of every second.
Tonight, Brenda is asking for prayers.
For healing.
For strength.
For her little girl to wake up.
For a path forward.
💙 Please pause for Camila. Lift her name in your heart.
And if you could speak to a mother sitting alone beside her child’s ICU bed right now…
what would you say?
