“Worst nightmare:” Alberta health-care workers wait for heart transplant for their infant twin son

From Global News.

This past spring, Britini and JC Apuada had three perfect weeks at home with their newborn twins, Oliver and Eloise, in Edmonton, Alta.

But, when JC went to pick up their two-year-old son from daycare in early May, that all changed.

“Britini called out for me, and I came around the corner and she handed me Oliver,” the father said. Oliver was in cardiac arrest when they called 911.

JC is a paramedic. His wife, Britini, works at the Stollery Children’s Hospital in the lab. She’s currently on maternity leave.

“It’s just your worst nightmare as a parent to have your child in that situation,” Britini told Global News.

As Global’s Quinn Ohler reports, the Apuada family is now in a holding pattern, hopeful they will be able to bring their young son home soon.
