Scarlett Dougan is a victim of Hypoplastic Right Heart Syndrome, an extremely rare condition that has left her with an under developed right side of the heart.
This means blood flow to her lungs is deficient at all times.
Most babies who are born with this condition do not survive and die within days of birth.
Baby Scarlett has undergone two major heart operations and experts have put in their best to reroute major arteries directly to her lungs to boost the flow of oxygen.
Doctors feel this is certainly a miracle that the baby survived the first four months and feel that the surgeries should hold her in good stead till her teens, after which she may need a heart transplant.
