When Chanel Murrish was born, she became the youngest person in the world to have heart surgery.
‘After her recovery, we started to plan her dream trip – but then Covid got in the way. But finally, it’s happened.’Fay was 20 weeks pregnant when she and husband, Micheal, were told that their third child had a rare and incurable heart condition, called hypoplastic left heart syndrome . As Fay and husband Micheal struggled to process the news, a 30 week scan revealed yet more devastating news – their baby the rarest form of the condition, as well as extra complications which made her case even more serious. While most patients have open heart surgery at a few days old, Chanel would need an operation immediately.
‘But within seconds, Chanel began to gasp for air. She turned a shade of blue and became very limp and lifeless. Not even having time to weigh her, her surgeon shouted: “We haven’t got time, go go go!”Chanel was taken into the adjoining theatre for immediate open-heart surgery – which made her a Guinness World Record holder for being the youngest patient ever to have open heart surgery.
