Leukaemia Girl Hannah has Heart Transplant

I remember reading about this brave girls decision to not go ahead with a heart transplant several months ago.

Hannah has suffered from Leukaemia for some years, and was then faced with the news that her heart was damaged and she would require a transplant.Bravely,she decided that, having spent much of her life within the confines of a hospital environment, she would not agree to having a transplant.

This decision lead to her being taken to court by the hospital trust who probably thought that they had her best interests in mind.The case was later dropped, and it has now been revealed that Hannah has now had the life saving transplant and is doing well.

Best wishes to Hannah and her family.
