A brave woman who who was not expected to live for more than 24 hours as a newborn is tragically now receiving end of life care in hospital.
Caitlin Shaw, now 20, was born with a severe heart condition and a 'bigger head' than normal, and was taken to Alder Hey hospital for emergency life-saving surgery at just three weeks old. She underwent a further operation at six-weeks old, which stabilised her heart for some time.
Despite being faced with many health complications, Caitlin is now aged 20 and has been an 'inspiration', but her heartbroken mum Samantha and step-dad Ian, originally from Denton, Manchester, are hoping to make their terminally ill daughter's dream come true and tick off her bucket list, as she is now receiving end of life care.
