Sophie was diagnosed while still in the womb with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. Sophie was born on the 20th August 2013 and had her first open heart surgery at 5 days old on the 25th August. Here is some more information on hypoplastic left heart syndrom....HLHS is a severe congenital heart defect in which the left side of the heart is underdeveloped. The hearts left side has a job of pumping oxygenated blood into the aorta, the large artery that carries blood to the body. In a child with HLHS, the mitral valve, which separates the two left chambers of the heart, is too small or completely closed, the left ventricle (the lower pumping chamber) is very small, the aortic valve, which separates the left ventricle and the aorta, is too small or completely closed.

As we know Sophie has recently had a heart transplant at just 3 years old and is making fantastic progress each and every day.

The family are hoping to take Sophie on a little vacation to London to visit the Disney boutique in Harrods please find the link below
