Famous journalist Lucía Villalón and her husband, footballer Gonzalo Melero, announced in April that they were expecting their second child together. As it could not be otherwise, this news filled not only the couple with joy, but also the rest of their family, their friends and those closest to them. Especially because of the complexity of the pregnancy of her first child, now 2 years old. We must remember that little Diego was born with what we call gastroschisis. This forced the couple to overcome a huge challenge since, from the moment of birth, their baby not only had to be hospitalized, but also had to undergo several surgical procedures. Again, It seems that this second pregnancy is not easy for Lucía Villalón and Gonzalo Melero either. Last June, the journalist confirmed that the baby she was expecting had “a multicystic kidney and a ureterocele”.
Thus, Villalón was forced to make a decisive decision. What did it consist of? Disappear, for a time, from social networks. And all this with the aim of resting but above all devoting yourself fully to this second pregnancy. Recently, in the home stretch, Lucía reappeared on social networks. In this way, he wanted to let each of his followers know the real reasons for this sudden disappearance and why he chose not to be in contact with them all this time. “I’m not doing well,” the reporter began to explain, acknowledging not only that she was “hormonally overwrought” but that she was going to try not to cry as she explained what those weeks had been like. Of course, before drawing erroneous conclusions, he wanted to reassure his followers on social networks: “Nothing serious happened in what we were already suffering”.
In this way, he reconfirmed what they already knew: Lucas, who will name his second child, has a multicystic kidney, meaning this organ does not develop normally during pregnancy because cysts form that replace normal kidney tissue. Thus, this situation prevents the kidney from functioning normally.
But it doesn’t end there, since Lucas also suffers from ureterocelethat is to say an inflammation of the ureters, which are the tubes which, from the kidney, transport urine to the bladder. The journalist therefore confirms that her little one “will have to live with only one kidney”. A few days after giving birth to Lucas, Lucía Villalón admits that she is “physically exhausted”, but what hurts her the most, without a doubt, is everything that concerns the emotional: “We don’t know any more. “The uncertainty is killing me… psychologically I am very affected.”.
The only thing she and her husband are clear about is that they want Lucas to be born to “see the options that actually exist”: “We know that the right kidney won’t work at all and the problem is that the ureter that’s causing the ureterocele problem doesn’t know which kidney it’s coming from. If it comes from the wrong kidney, then fine, but if it comes from the good kidney, it can create problems. ». Despite everything, she tries by all means to take advantage of this last stage of her second pregnancy: “Little by little, we have to move forward. With Diego we learned what it means to fight in this life..
