When we started the summer holidays, we didn’t know if we would get to the end without Jessica having her next heart surgery. In many ways we have been in limbo throughout the summer – not being able to look too far ahead; waiting for the phone call to give us the date for Jessica’s… Read More

This summer is going to be all about making the most of the family moments. We ended last month with a cardiac check-up for Jessica which led to her cardiac team deciding that her next surgery needs to take place sooner rather than later.
