Little Heart Warrior - Lucas

Today I spoke with Louise about her son Lucas' story. Lucas is a twin with brother Logan, and was diagnosed postnatally at 9 weeks old with: - Coarctation of the Aorta - VSD (which closed on its own eventually) Lucas is now 8 years old and doing amazing after suffered 4 cardiac arrests within his first few weeks of life and undiagnosed after 3 hospital admissions. I talk to Louise about Lucas 'cool' scar, celebrating heart days and life since surgery. Louise mentioned the breathing mats that detected when Lucas went into cardiac arrest when they were all sleeping so wanted to place a link here as this seems like the best piece of baby equipment you could buy, when your baby has a heart condition and if not: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Angelcare-Ac027-Sensasure-Movement-Monitor/dp/B07RG5VV2Q/ref=asc_df_B07RG5VV2Q/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=255468571917&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4469946355205776871&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1007024&hvtargid=pla-782966069423&psc=1&th=1&psc=1
