Cadhla heart warrior princess
Donation protected
Cadhla is a beautiful complex baby girl, she was diagnosed with Tof (Tetrology of Fallot) heart disease prenatally, also she has a cleft lip & Palate. She also has renial fusion (horseshoe kidney).
Cadhla had open heart surgery at 4 weeks old, unfortunately this didn't go as smoothly and she suffered an MCA stroke that has caused brain damage and epilepsy.
She is the strongest little girl I know and if thriving through physio and therapy.
Due to the stroke she has epilepsy and lost her ability to swallow so she is completely dependent on NG feeding.
We recently got the news she is days away from her next open heart surgery to repair her heart, they will close her VSD (hole in heart) and remove her pulmonary valve due to pulmonary stenosis. She has 2 stents in her valve at the moment and removing these will mean we will lose the valve, but I have every faith in the surgeons and trust them completely with my daughter.
These are hard times and for everyone but nothing could have prepared me for the constant bills we are facing. I have to keep my home going also.
Cadhla has alot of complex needs and caring for her is 24/7. Each and every donation has kept my family stress free in the last few months and I appreciate each and every one.
We have a long road ahead as Cadhla has 4 surgeries in the next 4 months.
I will update Cadhlas story as much as possible and also I have an Instagram for her journey called Cadhlas.journey.
