One mum's hope from tragedy: ‘I hope Isabella can save others heartache’

A mother whose newborn daughter died from a rare congenital heart defect which went undetected during pregnancy has urged expectant mums to ask for detailed scans.

Jazmine Sands, from Killorglin, Co Kerry, said she hopes her decision to speak out will spare others the heartbreak her family has suffered.

“Isabella was here for a short time but she has moved us and touched so many hearts. I feel she was sent here for a reason — to make a change,” she said.
