Organs trauma grandson is now happy & healthy

-

When my grandson Harry was born he had a diaphragma­tic hernia, meaning his organs were gathered up in his body and one lung was smaller than the other.

He was rushed to Great Ormond Street Hospital for treatment and they saved his life.

He is nine now and, while they warned us he would never be an athlete, he never stops running or swimming. He is such a happy and healthy little boy.

Without the NHS we would have been bankrupted saving his life. I am just so glad we have a healthcare system that is there for everyone when they need it.
