Be grateful

At last my darling God daughter has reached the magic weight required for her SVT to be ablated. The surgeon at Birmingham children's hospital was great with her,nanny says,says he's going to play space Invaders in her heart and sort it out! Long wait but will be worth it. 90,% success rate.

Made me think...she's only 9. Most of us are far older and have the majority of our lives Arrythmia free and a childhood free of it. ......

Poor wee soul - so young to have to face an ablation. Love the Space Invaders idea - obviously a thoughtful surgeon. I hope all goes well for her. xx
