Jessica Thivenin and Thibault Garcia are the happy parents of a little boy, Maylone, three years old and a little girl, Leewane, one year old. Unfortunately, their son was born with esophageal atresia, and he had surgery the day he was born. He was again hospitalized a month later after giving them a huge scare. If the health of the little boy was starting to get better, he has recently been taken by a nasty cough and vomiting which has greatly worried the former stars of the Marseilles. “We’ve been in the doctors for a month. (…) We did everything, we went around. So, Maylone, we have an appointment with the pulmonologist on Monday”, confided this Friday, January 27, the former reality TV candidate on her Instagram account.
“He needs an esophageal dilatation.”
Jessica Thivenin explained to her social media followers that her son was still suffering slightly from the lungs due to old illnesses, but is now on antibiotics for the next two weeks. “So now it’s better, he coughs less, but he still coughs“, she confided. However, the many x-rays they have done lately have revealed an anomaly. “Maylone, it’s true that in the evening, he tends to vomit if he eats too much for some time. I suspected, I knew it deep inside me and the X-ray confirmed it, he has a stenosis (a narrowing of the artery, editor’s note). He needs an esophageal dilatation.“, she explained on Instagram. And to continue, “In fact, what is happening, it’s that where he had the operation, that’s tightened up, let’s say. Except that suddenly, there are foods that are difficult to pass, so it gives him reflux and reflux causes pneumonia hence the fact that he coughs.”

“We can’t complain”
Jessica Thivenin admitted to her community that her son will have to have surgery again, like a little over two years ago when she saved him by giving him cardiac massage. “So they’re going to put a sort of balloon, like when he was four months old, where it’s tight. It will enlarge the esophagus a little”, she explained. “Then they take it out. It is an operation that does not last very long, under general anesthesia, in the operating room. It’s still a bit annoying, but we can’t complain. There is worse.“The young mother is trying somehow to stay positive despite this difficult news.
