Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit Jude's Brighter Future Fund Just giving page.

Our Gorgeous Baby Jude sadly passed away on the 28th April 2014.

Jude was born on the 2nd April with a rare heart condition called Hypoplastic left heart(half a heart)At only 5 days old Jude under went open heart surgery.This would have been the first of three operations before the age of 3. Jude's operation was a success but the last stage of the operation was the closing of the chest.The day of the chest closure Jude crashed,which he then went onto ecmo(heart by-pass machine)We would have lost Jude that day if it was not for having the ecmo machine and the Amazing skills of the surgeons that saved him.Jude was then on ecmo for a week to let his heart rest.

The day came for Jude to come off ecmo machine. This was a day we both were dreading as we had asked how many Babies had come off ecmo,we were told 3! To the amazement of all the doctors and nurses Jude did it,he beat the machine!Such a fighter.

The final stage was upon us. Sadly Jude's heart was just too tired. On the 28th April 2014, Jude passed away in my Wife's arms. GOSH ensured his passing was pain free and peaceful.We miss Jude every second of every day. His courage and bravery are an inspiration.

GOSH and all those who work within it,are truly remarkable people,World class! Nothing will mend our broken hearts nor bring back Jude,but by giving and spreading the word of Jude's page and raising as much as we can for this amazing hospital will help other children and their families like us.

We Thank you all so much for your support,love and generosity, May Jude's Memory Live on.
