LONDON: Seven year old Ehryn Andrews has beaten cancer, has overcome sepsis and now is ready to start school.
Last June, Erhyn needed a heart transplant, after a battle with a rare form of bone cancer and life-threatening sepsis damaged hear heart.
She was transferred over 300-miles from Moray in Scotland to the Children?s Heart Unit at Freeman Hospital in Newcastle.
The following two months were the most agonizing for Ehryn and her family, as they waited for a donor heart. Lucky for the Andrews, UK?s Sick Children?s Trust made it possible for Ehryn?s parents to be by her side and arranged free accommodation located at the hospital.
Once a donor heart became available, Ehryn surprised her doctors with an incredible recovery.
The young survivor?s mother Lyanne says, ?Ehryn is doing better than we ever thought was possible. It will be emotional to see her start the new term and go into P3 with her classmates, but it makes us so proud of our daughter. You?d never know she?s had to fight so hard in her short life. She?s always smiling and is back to being the happy girl she was before her illnesses.?
Ehryn goes back to school on Tuesday 16th August. She will however have to make the 300 mile trip from Elgin, Moray to Newcastle for regular check-ups.
