Libby Mae Sharratt was born on 26/04/2013 at Birmingham Women’s Hospital. Following her birth by C-Section she experienced difficulty with her breathing and was transferred directly to the Neo-Natal Unit, where she was placed on 100% Intensive Care. Over the next few days Libby had several tests and scans which revealed she had a heart condition, her medication and treatment were changed accordingly and her overall condition seemed to improve; she woke up, we were able to hold her, got to see her beautiful eyes and feel her grip our fingers. 

 On 02/05/2013 Libby was transferred to Birmingham Children’s Hospital Paediatric Intensive Care Unit where she had further scans where they found that the vein from her heart to her left lung had not developed and advised that she would never be able to breathe for herself and that there was nothing they could do to save her.
