To help baby Florrie and her family

Hi, my name is Jan and this is for my 3 month old granddaughter Florrie and her little family.

Our little treasure was born with two heart defects at birth. She was whisked away from her mummy & daddy straight away to high dependency unit. As you can imagine my son Regan and daughter in law Olivia were so upset not being able to do the normal things parents do with their newborn daughter, it was heartbreaking.

Once she was finally allowed home the doctors said she had to have a heart scan every month to ensure the narrowing wasn’t getting any tighter. The first one was ok it showed it had stayed the same at birth but the second scan had revealed it had got narrower.

She was taken to Leeds hospital to have an operation called median aortic arch to fix the coarctation of the aorta. The photo shows her after the operation. At just 12 weeks old she fought so hard and surpassed all our expectations - she’s a truly amazing baby.

She was able to come home after just four days of open heart surgery. She blew us away with her strength.

But… after a couple of days at home Regan & Liv noticed she just wasn’t right sadly and to be admitted again to hospital due to infection in her wound. Our beautiful girl once again hooked upto monitors. It breaks our hearts to see her like this and for my son and daughter in law with the constant heartache of her being in so much pain. I don’t know how much more they can take.

Today is Tuesday 8th of April and she’s being transferred back to Leeds from Doncaster. They may operate again.

My son can’t go back to work until he knows Florrie is on the mend and he won’t leave Liv as they have my grandson who is almost 3 years old Miller. He’s a self employed roofer and won’t claim anything off the state.

They have so much on their minds at the moment so I’m trying to raise their mortgage payment.. every little helps and this will enable Regan to have the time off he needs without the constant worry of bills mounting up and travel to & from Leeds everyday. This couple have worked their socks off from leaving school. Everything they do is for their little family and we could not be more proud of both of them.

Every single pound I am so grateful for to help them. I understand times are hard and not many can donate, but a share also helps us so thank you so much.

If you can keep them all in your prayers that would mean the world. They need every ounce of love and support right now.

Thank you again,

love Jan x
