Baby James fighting fit to mark first birthday
It will be a double celebration for the Co Wicklow youngster and his family because he is not only turning one but also marking a clean bill of health after life-saving heart surgery in England.
James was born with pulmonary atresia, which means he was missing a vital heart valve. The condition is also known as blue baby syndrome because without the valve, the heart struggles to pump blood to the lungs, leaving the baby without enough oxygen and prone to turning blue in the face at the slightest exertion.
