22-Hour-Old Baby Undergoes Open Heart Surgery in Britain
Toby Drink was diagnosed with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome after his mother, Sophie underwent a scan 21 months into her pregnancy. His health deteriorated rapidly after birth and the doctors had to conduct the 12-hour long operation in order to save his life.
Sophie revealed that when the doctors found something wrong with her pregnancy, they gave her three choices, terminate the pregnancy, do nothing which would have certainly resulted in his death or allow the doctors to conduct the surgery.
“He’s my little fighter. It’s great if he’s one of the world’s youngest but, to me, records don’t matter too much. What’s more important is that he’s here – and he’s alive”, Sophie said.
