A Cardiff mum is raising money so she can spend "crucial" time with her baby daughter who is on life support. Alice Lyden-Thomas, who is almost two years old, has a rare congenital heart defect and has had three open heart surgeries since she was a week old, said her mum Emilia Thomas, 24.
Her condition means she has low oxygen levels and is susceptible to infections which leave her "really poorly" and in hospital for weeks at a time. In the last year alone she has been admitted 12 times.
On February 16 she became "extremely unwell, blue, and floppy" and was rushed to hospital. She is now in a coma in intensive care in Cardiff and is due to undergo surgery on her heart in Bristol and then another surgery in Cardiff. She is expected remain in hospital for several weeks.
