Story
I often see just giving pages on FB which I have donated to many times myself. I am now setting up this page on behalf of a very dear family friend who is going through the most horrific circumstances that no parent should ever have to face. My dear friend is a 30 years old mother of a 13 year old son and a beautiful angel daughter and it is for her beautiful angel daughter that this page has been set up. Danielle was over the moon to find out she was going to be a mother for the second time and was delighted to be having a beautiful baby girl, her pregnancy progressed normally no complications of any kind with either herself or her baby, on the 07.02.2017 (Danielle's 30th birthday) 2 weeks before her due date Danielle went into labour and after a C-section gave birth to her beautiful daughter Amarnah Tracey Leigh weighing 7lb at Lewisham hospital. Soon after her birth it was discovered Amarnah had in fact been born with a hole in her heart she was taken into intensive care and from there was rushed to St Thomas's hospital. At St Thomas's it was then discovered Amarnah had a condition called (TOF) tetralogy of fallot and needed keyhole surgery to insert a balloon, that was carried out but unfortunately only lasted for approximately 2 hours then Amarnah started to turn blue so was taken back into surgery to enlarge the balloon and have a stent put in, the balloon was enlarged successfully but when it came to putting the stent in the surgeon slipped and perforated Amarnah's heart which caused a massive bleed which then required her to have open heart surgery to try and stop the bleed but she was too young to go through open heart surgery and her heart stopped and had to be massaged and eventually put on a bypass machine. Amarnah died shortly afterwards.
I can not begin to explain the absolute heartbreak Danielle and her family are going through, Danielle would love to be able to buy some cremation jewellery so her angel is always with her & help with the funeral.
