A heartbroken mum has told how she longs for the day she can finally bring her baby daughter home - after spending every day of her life in hospital. Poorly Matilda Bowcock has been under the specialist care of doctors from the minute she was born via planned Caesarean last November.
Five months on, she has had 14 operations and mum Loren Bowcock, 28, still has no idea when she can bring her baby daughter home to live with older brother Harley, 11, and sister Mya, seven. She said: "It's just like I'm not her mum. It's like something you see on the TV."
Loren, from Bolton, was told at her 20 week scan that Matilda had a heart condition known as transposition of the great arteries. It means the two main blood vessels leaving the heart - the pulmonary artery and the aorta - are swapped over.
