Loren Bowcock's pregnancy appeared to be going well
Loren Bowcock was in McDonald’s when she got the phone call. Her baby was seriously unwell and she needed to get to hospital as soon as possible.
Miraculously, Matilda pulled through and is now stable after spending some time in critical care at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital. Loren pushed to see a consultant and unborn Matilda was diagnosed with transposition of the great arteries, or TGA. At just 12-days-old, Matilda had open heart surgery – an operation that lasted nine-and-a-half hours. When care assistant Loren was allowed to see her later that evening, Matilda’s chest was still wide open.
“It was her first breath of fresh air, Loren added. “It’s the tiny things like not having the chest drains on. I can pick her up myself; I can actually do things myself so I feel a bit more like a mum now. Now weighing just 10lbs, Matilda is currently being fed via a peg and remains on several different types of medication. It’s not yet known when the youngster can go home.
