The parents of an eight-week-old baby born with four complex heart conditions say she's a 'fighter' proving everyone wrong. Haydn Meecham and Sabrina Gallagher were told they could terminate their pregnancy after discovering problems with their daughter Freya's heart at the 20-week scan.
She was rushed to Alder Hey Children's Hospital within 24 hours of being born prematurely at Royal Bolton Hospital, with her parents told to 'say their goodbyes' as their newborn was not expected to live. The family are now preparing to bring Freya back home.
But having been unable to feed without a tube or make a crying sound, Freya's loving parents will need to give their daughter specialist care. "She keeps proving them all wrong," said dad Haydn, from Radcliffe.

"She's a fighter. She keeps keeps beating all expectations of her. She's a miracle."
Sabrina, from Farnworth, suffered a 'bad pregnancy' with Freya, going through 'one thing after another'. Following the 20-week scan, the couple were sent to St Mary's maternity hospital in Manchester, where they were told their new daughter would need surgery for a heart condition when she was born.
Haydn, 31, said: "From there they said we had three options - wait and see if it sorts itself, come back in eight weeks for another scan or we could terminate. By that time we knew who she was, we couldn't even think of that third option."
The couple decided to wait eight weeks for their next scan, but were in and out of hospital every week. They discovered the umbilical cord was not working properly, which led to pre-eclampsia - a condition that can lead to complications in the pregnancy
