Rivan
Millie
Romily
Harriet
Rivan
Rivan became critically ill after developing pneumonia, a collapsed lung and an empyema, which is a serious infection around the lung.
As his condition worsened, he was transferred to Alder Hey by blue-light ambulance, where he underwent emergency surgery and spent time in the High Dependency Unit.
Millie
Millie was diagnosed with a complex heart condition before she was born. At just two weeks old, she underwent her first open-heart surgery at Alder Hey and has since had three more operations, including one particularly high-risk procedure due to the unusual position of her heart.
For a time, Alder Hey became a second home to Millie and her family. Through incredibly difficult moments, the cardiac team supported them with expert care, compassion and reassurance.
Romily
Romily was four when her school noticed she was falling frequently and walking differently. After being referred to Alder Hey, she was diagnosed with severe hip dysplasia and needed major reconstructive surgery.
Her recovery was a huge challenge. Romily spent two months unable to get out of bed before beginning physiotherapy and learning to walk again.
Harriet
Harriet has been cared for by Alder Hey since she was a baby and was later diagnosed with Behçet’s Syndrome, a rare inflammatory condition that can cause significant pain and problems with the joints.
At times, Harriet’s condition has left her unable to walk and needing crutches, but Alder Hey’s rheumatology, physiotherapy and psychology teams have worked closely with her family to help her manage her condition and keep doing what she loves.
