#PanchoGerardo: Cutest photos of Saab Magalona's miracle baby

In an Instagram post, the daughter of the late Master Rapper Francis Magalona revealed that the operation will remove the Ommaya Reservoir in Baby Pancho's head. 

According to healthline.com, Ommaya reservoir is a plastic device that’s implanted under your scalp. 

Saab also asked for prayers for the successful operation of her little prince.

“See that little bump on Pancho’s head? That’s an Ommaya Reservoir, a small silicone catheter put under his scalp when he was just a few days old. The reservoir was periodically tapped to relieve pressure on his brain caused by the buildup of excess fluids. So thankful for everyone’s prayers because he no longer needs the reservoir. God is good! Pancho will be undergoing surgery to remove it this Friday, May 11, so we ask for more prayers please for Pancho and his amazing doctors ??????”
