Mia was born with a very rare Congenital Heart Defect called Shone's Complex.

Congenital Heart Defects (CHD) are a potentially lethal constellation of birth defects of the heart that affect millions of newborn infants and children worldwide; a killer that claims thousands of lives every year.

Shone's Syndrome is a form of heart disease that has two main features. First, there are multiple problems with the left side of the heart, which receives blood from the lungs and pumps it to the body. The valves and passageways are often too small or blocked. Second, the abnormal areas on the left side get worse over time. This second aspect of Shone's Syndrome makes it very different from most other types of of congenital heart disease, which may be equally severe at birth, but do not progress over time. 

I have so far had 3 Opperations.

1) Co-arctation of the Aorta

2) Balloon Angioplasty

3) Full Open Heart Surgery to remove a SubAortic Membrane

 I wish to thank Birmingham Children's Hospital for everything they have done for me.
