A mum who initially thought her 17-month-old daughter was teething or had an ear infection was told her child needed to be put on a heart transplant list.
Amelia Bolter, now 22-months-old, was taken to her GP by mum Jodie Woolford, 31, on June 16 this year. Jodie thought Amelia was suffering from an ear infection or teething issues as she kept rubbing her ear, but was shocked when the doctor found her heart rate racing between at 180-220 beats per minute.
She was immediately rushed to Bath Hospital, before being transferred to Bristol Children's hospital the same day. She is now at Great Ormond Street where doctors have told her parents to be prepared for a two year wait before Amelia can go home with a new heart.
