OUR STORY...After 3 days of intense scrutiny and tests in the High Dependency ward at Coventry University Hospital, Ellis was put onto life support in a very critical condition. Once a bed was free Ellis was moved to Birmingham Children's Hospital, Intensive Care Unit,just in time. He underwent 4 hours of life saving Open Heart Surgery. He only had a matter of hours left.
It was discovered he had a rare congenital heart defect, Infracardiac TAPVD. Without the Specialist Care at Birmingham Childrens Hospital, Ellis would not have survived. This condition is very rare and is extremely hard to diagnose.
We are planning this event to raise money and awareness for the extension of the BCH Cardiac facilities and ICU. Currently only 20 beds are in the unit. The plans are to expand to 30 beds and update the cardiac theatres to state of the art ultra-modern facilities. Ellis managed to get one of those 20 beds just in time.One week prior to Ellis being ill, the treatment of his condition may have been referred to Paris, as all beds were taken. This is the unthinkable!
"Thank you" from Ellis. x
