A little girl battling a life-threatening condition has spent months at the Freeman Hospital as she waits for a new heart.
Little Evie Green had remained relatively stable after being diagnosed with myocarditis when she was just four months old - a condition triggered by simple viral infections that in serious cases can lead to heart failure.
After being admitted to the Freeman Hospital Newcastle earlier this year, she was initially placed on the routine transplant list but just days later her health took a turn for the worse.
