Man Refuses to Spend Son’s Life-Saving Device Money on Wife’s Dream Nursery

Imagine having to choose between your unborn child’s dream nursery and your 9-year-old son’s life-saving device. That’s the dilemma one man is facing after his wife demanded he spend the money he’s been saving for his son’s Ventricular Assist Device (VAD) on a pricey nursery. His son suffers from congenital heart disease and desperately needs the device to improve his quality of life. Now, the couple’s relationship is on the brink as they argue over what’s more important: a fancy nursery or a life-saving device.
