Biography

Oliver was born what we thought was a healthy little boy. At 9 days old at home he couldn't breathe properly and we rushed to A&E. Tonnes of tests and Drs and 2 days later we were told they found he had a heart condition. Mitral valve stenosis and mitral valve regurgitation as well as coarctation of the aorta.
Oliver had his first open heart at 18 months and an emergency 2nd op to save his life 2 days later. He is now fitted with a metallic valve. He is, however, starting to out grow his valve and is going to be needing more surgery in the near future, how near is uncertain but soon. What the future holds for Oliver I am unsure of as we've nearly lost him twice. He is still to face a minimum of 2 more open heart surgeries.
He battles on every day and for that reason we call him our little Solider.
That's why we have chosen a solider themed quilt.
