Heartbroken parents pay tribute to 'brave little boy' who lost life shortly after birth
A tribute has been paid to a 'brave little boy' who tragically died in hospital shortly after his birth due to a heart disorder.
The condition is an incredibly rare disorder that occurs in roughly 1 in 4,000 babies, it accounts for only 1 per cent of all congenital heart defects. HLHS can sometimes be treated, however, it can never be completely cured. Chloe added: "The rest of our pregnancy was scary. We had been told that due to the severity of Amias’s condition, there was a risk that he may pass away before birth; but Amias continuously showed us how strong he was.
"Devastatingly, Amias’s particular case of HLHS was too severe to qualify for surgery and after bravely holding on for his Mummy to arrive, we spent time talking to him, reading to him, singing to him and cuddling him, before he passed peacefully that evening surrounded in love."
