As
a mother I knew that things were not right with his heart, so I was
getting even more worried and frustrated every time I was told that
there was not a problem at all and everything was normal.
The day I found that
rugby ball outside George's
bedroom with the CRY logo on it and called you was the best thing that I
could have done.
It was such a relief to be able to speak to
someone that actually took me seriously! I am still disgusted that he
was told by doctors that he was imagining his palpitations.
You were most helpful and supportive and I
can't thank you enough for pointing us in the right direction and
advising us to see Dr Sharma.
I am delighted to tell
you that it turned out that George did have SVT and I can also happily
tell you that on Monday he had an ablation carried out by Dr Mergatroyd
at the London Bridge Hospital. It all went very well and appears that
it was a complete success.
We are one of the lucky
ones, in that George's condition isn't life threatening and he can now
happily go on to live a fit and normal happy life. However, I am
concerned, as I know from CRY that there are so many young people that
are totally missed because they don't or can't see the specialists with
the specialist testing that they need.
I fully support the
excellent work that you are doing and the awareness that you are
creating for those with cardiac risks and as a way of saying thank you
to CRY I have made a donation of £200 online to your excellent
and most worthy organisation.
Keep up the good work,
and be assured that CRY is mentioned by us not only to family, friends
and acquaintances but to Doctors too!
