Baby James had major open heart surgery at just four months old.
A Scots mum has praised staff at a Glasgow hospital for providing her four and a half month old son with life saving treatment.
"We went in the next day for a doctor to scan me and that's when they discovered it wasn't just a hole in James' heart he had a condition called Tetralogy of Fallot. The mum said: "His heart was doing really well but then he was struggling to gain any weight and keep down any food."He was only in intensive care for 18 hours and was in hospital for six days in total. Then when we came home, you would never have known he had open heart surgery other than a scar on his chest."Three days after he was smiling again and he was happy.
"Now I speak to mums who have children waiting for the surgery and talk them through it. At the time I knew nobody that this had happened to."The Aberdonian couple were supposed to tie the knot just before the pandemic and they were left shattered when they were forced to cancel their special day.The 31-year-old said: "We were due to get married in 2020 and then covid happened so we moved it to 2021 and covid was still around.
As a thank you to those who made sure that James could celebrate his first birthday they have asked friends and family to donate to the hospital rather than buying gifts.
