At just three weeks old, a baby boy had to undergo open-heart surgery after he was born with a congenital heart defect.
Little Tommy Armitage was born with Tetralogy of Fallot, which affects normal blood flow through the heart. Tommy, who was born December 2019 in Oldham Hospital went to St Marys in Manchester and was then rushed to Alder Hey where he underwent open-heart surgery to insert a stent [tiny mental mesh that works to keep an artery from closing or narrowing] in his heart, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Sadly, just two months later Tommy had to undergo more surgery, and it was discovered that some of his heart was "knackered."
