Thanks for visiting Sophie Mitchell's team fundraising page.
Sophie Emily Mitchell was born at 7.04am on Monday 14th September 2015, at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow, with a double inlet single ventricle heart, pulmonary atresia and transposition of the great arteries. She was a tough cookie and fought hard through seven surgical procedures and even pulled through a period of time on an ECMO heart and lung bypass system. But Sophie was quite small, which made it difficult for her main operation (a Blalock–Taussig shunt) to work. At 5.55pm on Sunday 25th October 2015 Sophie's shunt blocked and she had a cardiac arrest. She was less than a day from being 6 weeks old and had never made it home or out of the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU).
We are fund raising for both the PICU department and Yorkhill Family House / Ronald McDonald House Glasgow, through this team page.
