Our child Alex Matt Croft was born on the 25 December 1997, on the 26 December he was diagnosed as having pulmonary stenosis and ebsteins anomaly. on the 31 December he underwent a cardiac catheterization procedure, due to the size of the hole in the pulmonary valve it took 5 hours to find and the dilation of the valve took a further 3 hours. due to the length of time under general anesthesia his kidneys failed and his left lung deflated,after the procedure Alex spent 16 days in intensive care. he was unable to breathe for himself and therefore he was ventilated, with his kidneys failing he also underwent dialysis treatment but thankfully pulled through. another two weeks were spent on a cardiac ward before he was allowed home. he has now settled into his new surroundings and he is loved immensely. we owe everything to the care and diligence to alder Hey hospital, Liverpool, England.
