Back to Hospital

Mia has been reviewed in hospital on Monday because we have noticed her becoming more short of breath and more tired. The doctors are concerned that the band they placed in September is not doing a good job any more and there is a steady rise in blood flow to the lungs. Mia's operation was originally planned for the 30th January, however, after being reviewed today by the cardiologists and discussed with the surgeons, they have decided to do her next week.

This operation is complicated. Follow the link to find out more.

We are going in to hospital on Tuesday for 'pre-admission' and home again, then in on Thursday for surgery.

Once again we will use the web site to keep people up to date as much as possible.

Poor might seems so small to have such complicated surgery...as ever you'll all be in our thoughts and prayers. What a very informative website for referring to - specially for the less medically trained!
All the very best from a grey and chilly UK - love Jonathan and Nicky

Dear Lyndall, Richard and Mia, Happy 2006 to you all - may it be happy and healthy!! Despite all of the awful procedures little Mia has had to go through, she is looking wonderful - such a change in the last few months. I hope you two parents are bearing up OK - she'll pull through all this with flying colours. Thinking of you all - and thanks for thinking of us all with the brillinat updated web site and pics, Viv and Billxx
