Biography

Harry was diagnosed with multiple heart defects at our 20 weeks scan. As first time parents this was terrifying and heartbreaking. We knew we had to give Harry the best chance we could and refused the termination that was offered to us.
Harry was born full term and 12 hours after he was born he was sent to Alder Hey Children's Hospital. He had his first operation at 10 days old and we were discharged at 16 days old. He got stronger whilst we were at home. When he was 8 months old his oxygen levels dropped and we had to go back into hospital. On 11th July 2025 we had to take what seemed like the longest walk to theatre and say goodbye to our brave boy while he went down for open heart surgery. A very long 9.5 hours later we got the phone call to say he was in recovery and we could go to see him on the PICU. When we finally were allowed to see him we were met by his surgeon and he informed us that they couldn't go ahead with the intended plan and they did what was safe and necessary.
