WINNIPEG Hope dwindled for Julie and Paul Devigne as a treatment-resistant tumour in their baby s belly swelled so large it restricted his ability to eat, sleep and breathe. Then, in a surgical feat, doctors at Toronto s Hospital for Sick Children gave little Felix another shot at life, say the Winnipeg parents. During a more than six-hour-long procedure, a cross-disciplinary team of eight medical workers removed the 1.3 kilogram mass nearly three pounds from the infant s body, defying some experts opinions that the tumour was inoperable. It s very hard to put into words the gratitude that we have, said Paul Devigne. (We want) to give anybody out there who s in a similar situation where they re running out of options a glimmer of hope.
