SOMERTON, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) – Five-year-old Cash Bekish was recently in Phoenix recovering from heart surgery, where his mother Tamara, decided to distract him with one of his favorite things, making volcanoes.
Cash was born with heart defects and has been through multiple surgeries.
Before he was even born the doctors gave his mother Tamara a choice whether to keep him or not.
She says her Faith led her in the right direction.
“If there was going to be a life that I was going to be in charge of it wasn’t going to be up to me take that life or not,” said Tamara.
That is how Cash came into this world, however, not without complications.
His latest roadblock was Covid, which caused colitis.
It affected his heart, causing it to stop from pumping blood into his intestine and forcing him to be flown to Phoenix to have heart surgery.
“We were terrified you know we had never been on an airplane so it was one of those things we’re going through so many different new things and it’s not just for something positive like a vacation it’s for something that has to do with his health,” said Tamara.
