My nephew is now enscounded at the hospital in Glasgow. He now has a first name, Daniel, and they have a prognosis on him. He has problems with a couple of arteries going into his heart. One artery isn't pumping blood out of his heart as it should and another isn't pumping oxygen into his heart as well as his blood as it should. They have him hooked up to a sheer volume of leads and machines at the moment. They have also placed a small hole into his heart itself to pump oxygen into the half of his heart which was being starved of oxygen.
If all goes well in about a week or two at the most he will have surgery to repair the arteries into his heart which aren't working and if that goes well then he will spend another two - three weeks in hospital through in Glasgow before being allowed home.
It's a condition which has to be monitored closely probably for the rest of his life but at least he seems to be a little fighter and hopefully that will give him the extra push he needs.
