Baby Béibhinn now in recovery

A CORK baby whose life was charted by her parents months before she was born is recovering in hospital from open heart surgery.

Béibhinn Hope O’Connor from Carrigaline, Co Cork, suffers from heterotaxy— a rare birth defect that involves the heart and other organs.

The little girl, who will be one-year-old next month, underwent a six-hour operation at Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital in Dublin.
