To see her, you’d never think anything was wrong. She is such a
beautiful and vibrant child. Her attitude and outlook are nothing but
bright and she practically shimmers when she smiles. But behind the
innocent face and cheerful disposition, Virsaviya Borun-Goncharova, also
known as “Bathsheba,” is in a life or death struggle with a severe
physical condition.
The child suffers from something called Pantalogy of Cantrell, which means she was born with her heart on the outside of her chest. Her intestines were also outside of her torso. She has no abdominal muscles or diaphragm. Her mother, Dari Borun, is a recent immigrant from Russia, is trying to make sense of what’s going on with her baby. As a single mom, the primary concern is expense.
