Ben’s story……………

Since the age of 10months our son Ben was seriously ill with what we thought was a serious stomach condition. Having spent the last 2 years in and out of hospital Ben was finally diagnosed with an extremely rare and life threatening heart condition. The condition is so rare that they had only ever seen 5 cases of the condition, with Bens sadly being the worst.

Given only a few months to live Ben was transferred to Bristol Children’s Hospital where he underwent life saving open heart surgery to remove a membrane that had grown across the left hand side of his heart.

Having spent well over a month in Bristol Children’s Hospital Ben was well enough to come home thanks to the skill and dedication of the surgeons, doctors and nurses. Ben has made a remarkable recovery and is doing really well.

Ben still has a few on-going problems but he’s being monitored closely by the heart team at the Heath hospital Cardiff who are fairly confident Ben will not need any further surgery. (Fingers crossed)

My wife and I are extremely grateful to all the staff at Bristol Children’s Hospital for the care and treatment given to Ben through what has been a very emotional and on times frustrating period of our lives.

So if you can help by donate some of your hard earned pennies to the “Wallace & Gromit’s” Grand Appeal we will be truly thankful to you all.

Thank you

Andy, Helen and Ben Campling
