Baby Ieva faces two-month wait in bid for transplant

AN infant girl will have to wait another two months before doctors decide she is ready for a life-saving liver transplant.

Five-month-old Ieva Zukaskaute from Rahoon in Co Galway has just returned home with her parents from King’s College Hospital in London where medical experts assessed her condition.

The baby, who has already undergone two unsuccessful operations to correct her condition, is not expected to see her first birthday without the transplant.
