SCHICKSALE - Die kleine Aria Kean aus Suffolk braucht zwei Wochen nach einer OP am offenen Herzen wahrscheinlich eine Leberspende von ihrem Vater
Gemma says she can't wait to do more fun activities with Aria after the liver transplant (Collect/PA Real Life)
Newlyweds on tenterhooks as baby girl who had heart surgery 2 weeks ago awaits liver transplant with dad ready to be emergency living donor Devoted newlyweds whose adorable baby girl was whisked into hospital three days into their honeymoon and had open heart surgery two weeks ago are now on tenterhooks as the "smiley" tot awaits a liver transplant. When within days of little Aria Kean being born on 21 October 2021 she showed signs of baby jaundice, including yellow skin, her parents, financial advisor Joe Kean, 29, and service advisor Gemma Kean, 27, were not worried as they knew the condition was common. But when it failed to clear a series of hospital trips followed and, aged seven weeks, she was diagnosed with biliary atresia - a rare disease affecting the bile ducts, gallbladder and other structures involved in producing bile, which is made by the liver to aid digestion. Aged eight weeks, Aria had a Kasai procedure - surgery that can help re-establish bile flow from the liver to the intestine by joining the two directly - which worked for a few months, but doctors went on to tell her parents she needed both a liver transplant and surgery to close a hole in her heart. Now, one week after his daughter's open heart surgery lasting four hours, Joe, of Red Lodge, Suffolk, said: "The liver transplant will change everything for Aria. "She is so happy and smiley all the time, but she has never been well, she has only ever been poorly. "Because of her liver, it has affected her hitting her milestones. With the transplant, she will be like a different baby, with all this energy. "She only had heart surgery on Tuesday July 26 and she is already doing so amazingly. "We cannot wait for her to have the transplant now." Hoping for a liver transplant in the next few weeks, if no donor is found, Joe will become his daughter's l *** Local Caption *** 3959

FEATURE - Karen Elliott fertigt lebensechte Babypuppen für Frauen, die Fehlgeburten erlitten haben
Karen thinks people should not be quick to judge others who have reborns (PA Real Life/Collect) *** Mother makes lifelike baby dolls - some with real human hair - for women who have had miscarriages to help them copeBy Molly Powell, PA Real Life An American mother makes lifelike ‘reborn’ replica baby dolls for women who have lost their own to help them cope, some of which come with real human hair and are scented to smell like a real baby.Karen Elliott, 46, from Tennessee but now living in Morecambe, Lancashire, has donated reborns to children's hospitals and care homes in the US to remind patients with dementia of their children.Karen’s grandchildren live in America, so she has reborns as a comforting replacement for them and has even made some for her eldest daughter, Rachel, 27, and her grandchildren, Caleb, six, Emily, five, and Hadleigh, three months, which they treat as real babies.Karen has two reborns - Roxy, a newborn, and Jupiter, a 10-month-old, who is made with real human hair and smells like a real baby.Karen claims reborns act as a comfort for many people who have lost babies, with her most memorable creation being for a friend who lost twin girls.She explained: "One died after three days, and the other one was four days old when she passed away."I'd seen a picture of them, so I made her a set of twins and surprised her with them."She just cried and cried, and said thank you when I gave them to her."She still has them, and that was eleven years ago."Karen realises that some may think reborns are a strange coping tool, saying: "It might be strange to some people, but if you put yourself in someone else's situation, who has been through a traumatic experience, it isn't weird to them."So, before people judge, think about what they've been through."Karen, who began her reborn business Karen’s Little Angels in 2012, said: “I was on my work break, I was working at a school at the time, being a teacher's aide, and I was looking through pictures on *** Local

SCHICKSALE - Erster Geburtstag, erster Schlaganfall: Baby Blake Hanchett aus Pocklington wird wohl nie normal reden und laufen können
Blake Hanchett before his stroke. See story SWLNstroke - By Izzy Hawksworth A baby who was previously ‘normal and very boisterous’ has suffered a series of strokes, leaving him with brain damage and being unable to walk and talk. Blake Hanchett suffered from his first stroke just weeks after his first birthday, and now he is mentally and physically disabled, and cannot do anything for himself. He then suffered from at least four more strokes whilst he spent the next 16 weeks at Leeds General Infirmary Hospital before returning to his home in Pocklington, East Yorks. The one-year-old now needs around-the-clock care, including having been fed through a tube and having physio on a daily basis.

SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis! Connie had multiple surgeries, including one that lasted nearly five hours, and eventually made a full recovery (Collect/PA Real Life) *** HEADLINEMother of baby born with dead bowel who made miraculous recovery says ‘we’ve been crying happy tears ever since’SUMMARYBaby Connie began vomiting and had to be resuscitated just a few hours after being born, which sent alarm bells ringing for doctors.BODYA premature baby who was expected to die a few hours after being born when surgeons discovered she had a dead bowel has made a full recovery against the odds, with her mother saying “we’ve been crying happy tears ever since”.When Deborah La Spina, 36, a marketing specialist from Sutton, London, gave birth, everything appeared normal – but after a few hours, her baby, Connie, now six months, began vomiting, had to be resuscitated and was rushed to the nearest children’s specialist hospital.The hospital, St George’s, was the only one in the UK that could carry out an emergency procedure which would save Connie’s life.After “being in the right place at the right time” Deborah and her husband Dominic’s journey with Connie did not get any easier – after multiple surgeries, IV drip feeding and three months in hospital.Before Connie was born, antenatal scans revealed she had an abdominal cyst, which Deborah and Dominic were told not to worry about – little did they know, it would turn out to be life-threatening.Connie was born one month early, on July 27 2022, at St Helier Hospital, London – all appeared well, and her parents were overjoyed with their new arrival.Deborah said: “The examiner told me that the cyst hasn’t caused her any trouble, so I was hugely relieved and I breastfed her and she fed beautifully.“But, within a few minutes, she started vomiting – that’s when I knew something was terribly wrong.”A few hours later, Connie was blue-lighted to St George’s, a specialist children’s hospital in *** Local Caption *** 41040239

SCHICKSALE - Happy Birthday - Zack Reilly aus Hull feierte am 11 Juli seinen ersten Geburtstag trotzdem seine Überlebenschancen bei der Geburt schlecht standen und ihm ein Arm amputiert werden musste

A Baby's arm was amputated at 10 days old after he suffered blood clots in the womb but now he is a happy tot celebrating his first birthday
A toddler who survived blood clots in his brain and left arm in the womb which meant the "dead" limb was amputated at 10 days old is celebrating turning one by reaching for the skies on the swings in his local park.
Born by emergency caesarean at 37 weeks on 11 July 2021 with a "bruised and blistered" left arm, after the limb was removed a further MRI scan revealed that Zack Reilly had also suffered a stroke before he was born, causing brain damage that could affect his mobility, muscle control and speech as he develops.
But the beaming boy has adapted brilliantly - celebrating turning one at a family barbecue as well as enjoying his first week at nursery, to the delight of his proud parents Royal Navy assistant careers advisor, Libby Francis, 29, and telecoms engineer, Owen Reilly, 28.
Libby, who lives in Hull, East Yorkshire, said: “For the first few weeks of Zack's life it felt like one thing after another was going wrong. It was just heartbreaking.
"But seeing how happy he is now, we are so grateful. We love him to bits and we wouldn't change him for the world."
After meeting Owen in the Navy in 2016, Libby enjoyed a smooth pregnancy with Zack until the final weeks.
She said: "We were so excited about finally meeting Zack.
"But I started feeling these sharp cramps in my stomach on July 10 2021, which I thought were contractions.
"We rang the hospital saying we thought it might be contractions, but they said it didn't sound like I was ready to come in yet.
"Then, the next day they became worse and were so painful I couldn't feel if he was moving or not, so they said we should come in."
Monitoring Zack's heart, the doctors quickly realised something was wrong and sent Libby in for an emergency caesarean on July 11.

Born by emergency caesarean at 37 weeks on 11 July 2021 with a "bruised and blistered" left arm, after the limb was removed a further MRI scan revealed that Zack Reilly had also suffered a stroke before he was born, causing brain damage that could affect his mobility, muscle control and speech as he develops.
But the beaming boy has adapted brilliantly - celebrating turning one at a family barbecue as well as enjoying his first week at nursery, to the delight of his proud parents Royal Navy assistant careers advisor, Libby Francis, 29, and telecoms engineer, Owen Reilly, 28.
Libby, who lives in Hull, East Yorkshire, said: “For the first few weeks of Zack's life it felt like one thing after another was going wrong. It was just heartbreaking.
"But seeing how happy he is now, we are so grateful. We love him to bits and we wouldn't change him for the world."
After meeting Owen in the Navy in 2016, Libby enjoyed a smooth pregnancy with Zack until the final weeks.
She said: "We were so excited about finally meeting Zack.
"But I started feeling these sharp cramps in my stomach on July 10 2021, which I thought were contractions.
"We rang the hospital saying we thought it might be contractions, but they said it didn't sound like I was ready to come in yet.
"Then, the next day they became worse and were so painful I couldn't feel if he was moving or not, so they said we should come in."
Monitoring Zack's heart, the doctors quickly realised something was wrong and sent Libby in for an emergency caesarean on July 11 *** Local Capt

Any part of Giorgio's body can blister (Collect/PA Real Life) *** Baby's 'Freddy Krueger' blisters mean his parents are afraid to cuddle him for fear of deadly infections By Joe Pagnelli, PA Real Life A tiny baby born with skin so fragile his parents are afraid to cuddle him because the slightest touch causes him to have blisters all over his body and leaves him "looking like Freddy Krueger" needs to be wrapped like a mummy to protect him from deadly infections.The first time Dominic Evans, 37, held his newborn son, Giorgio Evans-Lobato, he felt sure "something was seriously wrong" when he saw skin missing from the little one's back, head and left leg.Two weeks after Giorgio's birth in June 2022, specialists from London's famous Great Ormond Street Hospital revealed the baby had a rare and incurable condition which affects just 5,000 people in the UK called junctional epidermolysis bullosa (EB), or "butterfly skin", which causes agonising blisters.The cruel version of EB affecting little Giorgio also causes internal blistering to his organs and means he requires 24-hour care.Determined to help Giorgio survive and go on to lead the best life possible, Dominic quit his job as an electrician to help Giorgio's mum Michelle Lobato, 43, look after him full time at their home in Chichester, West Sussex.With both parents unable to work, they have set up an online crowdfunder on GoFundMe asking for public donations so they can move into a new home suited to Giorgio's needs."We have been told by the doctors and specialists that he has a low percentage chance of surviving his first two years of life," said Dominic."So we are hoping we can do everything possible to get him through this."Remembering the moment he first met his little boy, he said: "When I first saw him, I knew something was wrong - he was looking like Freddy Krueger with all of the blisters."We never expected him to have such a horrendous condition, so it was incredibly emotional.

Young Renee (Collect/PA Real Life) *** Bikini clad granny aged 70 takes bodybuilding circuit by storm and attracts potential "younger suitors" despite entering first contest aged 69
By Joe Pagnelli, PA Real Life
A bikini-clad septuagenarian granny is taking the bodybuilding circuit by storm and attracting plenty of potential "younger suitors" in the process despite entering her first competition at the age of 69.
Businesswoman Renee Landers, 70, started bodybuilding in a bid to regain her fitness after surgery to fuse some vertebrae in her lower back in 2010 following persistent and painful problems.
And after working out on five days a week and honing a fabulously toned 8st 9lb figure, 5ft divorcee Renee, of Houston, Texas, USA, was keen to show it off.
Despite being the oldest contestant by more than 20 years, in May 2021 she donned a skimpy bikini, covered her body in dark spray tan and entered her first bodybuilding competition, scooping sixth place and saying: "It was a highlight in my life.
"After having my son and my grandchildren, it was the best day of my life.
"This is the fittest I have ever been and I look and feel better than I did when I was in my twenties.
"I was terrified to put on a skimpy and sparkly bikini, as I was nearly 70 and at least 20 years older than the next oldest person there.
"But now I know that 70 and sexy can go together, as I'm living proof."
While Renee has enjoyed dating a mixture of men her own age and a few who have been younger in recent years and says she receives "a regular flurry of messages" from many more, for now she is focusing on herself and the friendships she has made through bodybuilding.
She said: "I am always surprised when younger men come and flirt with me. But I think they love my energy and who I am. It’s not an age thing.
"I do seem to attract younger men. I like men my age, but in my pool there aren’t many fit men.

Renee as a teenager (Collect/PA Real Life) *** Bikini clad granny aged 70 takes bodybuilding circuit by storm and attracts potential "younger suitors" despite entering first contest aged 69
By Joe Pagnelli, PA Real Life
A bikini-clad septuagenarian granny is taking the bodybuilding circuit by storm and attracting plenty of potential "younger suitors" in the process despite entering her first competition at the age of 69.
Businesswoman Renee Landers, 70, started bodybuilding in a bid to regain her fitness after surgery to fuse some vertebrae in her lower back in 2010 following persistent and painful problems.
And after working out on five days a week and honing a fabulously toned 8st 9lb figure, 5ft divorcee Renee, of Houston, Texas, USA, was keen to show it off.
Despite being the oldest contestant by more than 20 years, in May 2021 she donned a skimpy bikini, covered her body in dark spray tan and entered her first bodybuilding competition, scooping sixth place and saying: "It was a highlight in my life.
"After having my son and my grandchildren, it was the best day of my life.
"This is the fittest I have ever been and I look and feel better than I did when I was in my twenties.
"I was terrified to put on a skimpy and sparkly bikini, as I was nearly 70 and at least 20 years older than the next oldest person there.
"But now I know that 70 and sexy can go together, as I'm living proof."
While Renee has enjoyed dating a mixture of men her own age and a few who have been younger in recent years and says she receives "a regular flurry of messages" from many more, for now she is focusing on herself and the friendships she has made through bodybuilding.
She said: "I am always surprised when younger men come and flirt with me. But I think they love my energy and who I am. It’s not an age thing.
"I do seem to attract younger men. I like men my age, but in my pool there aren’t many fit men.
"I have been married a few *

FEATURE - Golfbegeistertes Paar David Sharp und Lindsey Geddes verloben sich auf der Swilcan Bridge auf dem ältesten Golfplatz der Welt
EXCLUSIVE: * NO UK papers Or Mail Online * A golf mad couple have got engaged on the famous Swilcan Bridge, on The Old Course, St Andrews, days before it stars in 150th Anniversary of the British Open.
David Sharp, 52, from Haddington and Lindsey Geddes, 57, from Edinburgh, were lucky to be able to walk across the bridge on Sunday, the only time members of the public can walk across the iconic golf course, which is public land.
The pair have bonded over their love of golf after they went on a first date in St Andrews 3 years ago. They surprised tourists and walkers as David bent on one knee on the famous bridge before proposing.
Lindsey Geddes, 57, lives in Edinburgh said: “We met 3 years ago and went to St Andrew's for the day on our first proper date so this was an anniversary surprise. David is a keen golfer and I played as a teenager but gave it up until I met David and he reintroduced me to the game.
He's a very patient teacher and my confidence in my game has really improved. We play at Haddington Golf Club where David works as a Green keeper.
I'm a self employed Carer/Companion for the elderly in Edinburgh. We enjoyed a drink in the famous Jigger Inn and as it was a Sunday we were able to walk the course and see all the preparations for the 150th Open. That was the first time I'd ever been on the famous Swilcan Bridge so it was a lovely surprise and a very happy day for us both.
We celebrated at The Road Hole Bar in the Old Course Hotel and let all our friends and family know. They're over the moon for us.â€
"When he went down on one knee in front of total strangers and looked up at me grinning from ear to ear with that beautiful ring in such a perfect place I was thrilled to bits and felt so happy and excited and I thought "this is classic Dave, he always goes that extra mile to make me feel so special"
We'll never look at that bridge the same again, such a treasured memory. I hope we visit it together many more times *** Local Caption *

SCHICKSALE - Krebs im Kindesalter: Ärzte diagnostizierten bei Mila Sneddon lymphoblastische Leukämie
EXCLUSIVE: **NO RTL USAGES**
The mum of a young girl diagnosed with a rare cancer has revealed what the seemingly innocent early signs were – from night sweats to leg pains.
Little Mila Sneddon, now six, from Falkirk, first seemed poorly in November 2019 and her parents Lynda, 39, and Scott, 52, worried she may be anaemic.
After the relatively mild symptoms persisted, a visit to her GP found that her spleen was enlarged and she was sent to hospital for further tests.
Mila’s blood results on 19 November confirmed the worst – that the tot had leukaemia.
“To say we were devastated is an understatement – we were completely heartbroken,†Lynda told NeedToKnow.online.
“We thought this was a death sentence until we were able to gather our thoughts and speak to the consultant.â€
They found that Mila had acute lymphoblastic leukaemia – a type of blood cancer – and she spent the next two-and-a-half years receiving treatment at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Glasgow.
The brave girl went through numerous rounds of chemotherapy, steroid treatments, blood and platelet transfusions, lumbar punctures, and had to have a feeding tube fitted.
The family were supported throughout the horrific ordeal by Blood Cancer UK, who assisted them and provided educational resources.
The situation was complicated further by national lockdown restrictions – with a picture of Mila waving to Scott through a window while in isolation going viral at the time and appearing in Kate Middleton’s lockdown photography book, Hold Still.
Finally, Mila got the all-clear in March 2022.
