Grandad Pat.....

Well thought I had better post about Grandad Pat who was very selfless and decided to make room in the family for our little princess.



Grandad Pat was a very brave, proud man who had a heart transplant in 1988 at Harefield Hospital this was because he had Cardiomyopathy (i hope this link works for anyone wanting to know what that is) he lived for another 18years or so after his transplant. His health deterotiated due to him also having Emphysema for which Harefield said they should have given him a heart and lung transplant but that was 'should of, could have' and wouldn't help him now.



Grandad Pat became wheelchair bound and then housebound bound and didn't have a very good quality of life towards the end with him having to be on oxygen 24hrs a day needless too say he became very withdrawn from life but one thing that he always showed interest in was his youngest son and dauther in law's desperate need for a baby. He always wanted to know when the IVF would be starting. The way it worked out as I was egg sharing our start date kept being postponed because of the numerous tests and other timings and so we didn't start until after Grandad Pat left this world and although we are not big believers in god we so believe that Pat was there all the way helping our 1st try at IVF which turned out to be ICSI become our little princess today so...

Thank you so much Grandad Pat xxxxxxx
