My grandson is coming home today, he's 6 weeks old and was born with a rare heart defect, blue lighted from our local hospital to Great Ormond Street Hospital at just hours old and had open heart surgery at 2 days old.
This has been without doubt the most agonising, scary and heartbreaking experience, my heart broke for his mum and dad when the doctors just kept saying that he's very very sick.
But he's done amazingly well and today he's coming home 💙

Fantastic! So pleased for you and your family. I‘ve had heart surgery myself but I was in my 50s so I can imagine how worried you all were about a tiny baby.

Thats lovely news. My DD was born with a congenital heart condition and has had several open heart surgeries. it's very scary. She's 16 now and the advances in cardiac medicine are amazing. I'm sure your precious Grandson will do really well.
Congratulations
