Elain James was antenatally diagnosed with Congenital Heart Disease. Following a short period of stability at home Elain's condition suddenly deteriorated in June 2010. Elain was kept overnight in ICU at Bronglais General Hospital but the following day she still wasn't deemed stable enough to make a 2 hour journey down to Cardiff, the nearest specialist Cardiac Centre. It was at this point the services of the Wales Air Ambulance were called for. Elain was swiftly transported down the landing site and flown down to Cardiff with her mummy by her side. The journey took just 25minutes.</span></span></p>

We are hoping things remain stable enough for her not to need the services of the Air Ambulance again but can live safe in the knowledge that if needed, Elain can be transported to the nearest Cardiac Centre in less than 30mins.</span></span></p>
