Pre Op Assessment

today 15/5/18 Mireya had her pre op assessment at Leeds General. We first met with a nurse who went through a load of paperwork and told us a little what to expect once she comes out of surgery.
Then Mireya had a ECG, length & weight, bloods and then to finish off a chest X-Ray
The bloods is by far the worst part cause she is small it’s hard for them to get a good vein so after two nurses tried twice we ended up on the ward where the doctor managed to get the samples he needed to have her blood tests done and have the right blood ready for the operation.
We have also been given some special body wash and A nasal spray which we have to use 5 days before surgery this will help her skin be sterile and help the skin heal after surgery.
So once again we are set for going on Monday 21st for the operation on Tuesday 22nd. Fingers crossed it doesn’t get cancelled again.

Operation Day

I’m starting this post from the moment I opened my eyes at 5:15am I just stared at our beautiful little girl praying that today was the day she was going to have the operation that will be the making of her. I got dressed packed the campbed away and then Braiden come at 6am then followed was my mam & dad, jade, nanny Lyn and Emma all come to be there for us both and Mireya. They was there the day she was born and all there for another big day in our little miracles life. At 7:55am the nurse come for us to take Mireya to the theatre every kissed her and then we walked to the theatre me and braiden took our baby girl in. I sat her on my knee and a mask was placed over her mouth and nose and within 20 seconds she was a asleep we laid her on the bed & both give her a kiss and then walked out. It was the hardest thing we have ever had to do walk away and leave our little girl there. We went back to the ward got our things and took them to the car until we get our paren...

Off we go again 😱

I haven’t updated or wrote anything in a while as Mireya has and is still continuing to do so well since having her heart surgery. We have been enjoying every single moment of her and living a normal life with her. She may still be small but she is defiantly mighty. She is trying to walk standing on her own hitting all her milestones for her corrected age and we could not be prouder of our little miracle. We even got a little get away with my lovely Mam, dad and James to Tenerife which Mireya loved just as much as us. On Thursday 6th September we got up excited to go away and just as we was getting ready to leave I got a unexpected phone call from Leeds hospital it was the liver consultants secretary to book Mireya in for surgery to remove the cyst that was found on my 20 week scan on Thursday 13th September I was in complete shock and broke down cause I just didn’t expect it as last we heard they was reviewing the cyst again. I give the phone to Braiden to talk as i couldn...

BIG steps 🥰😊

sorry it’s been a while since I have updated the blog. We have had lots of appointments lots of hurdles and a lot of up and down days but onwards and upwards. Our 2 little girls are the sunshine of our lives 🎀🎀 In July Mireya had another hearing test, she still has lose of hearing in her right ear but there going to leave it till November and then if its still the same then we will have to discuss Grommets or Hearing Aids. We then had another eye test for Mireya and her vision in her right eye is very long sighter and slightly long sighted in her left eye so she now has glasses and we think she looks even more beautiful with them. They have give her glasses now to try provent her eyes getting worse or possible lazy eye. Since putting the glasses on in the opticians she hasn’t touched them she knows she can see better with them. As we walked out the opticians our eyes filled with tears watching her look at everything completely different as if it was the first time she had see the...
