NOT many little lads can tell their mates they’ve come back from the dead.But plucky Joshua Baker isn’t like other boys.The five-year-old died for almost 40 minutes when he suffered a cardiac arrest following a risky operation,New Balance 574.His terrified parents believed they had lost him.But surgeon Giles Peek and his team brought Joshua back to life – by opening up his chest and massaging his heart with their bare hands until it began beating.Despite the miracle, doctors warned his parents their lad’s brain would probably be damaged because it had been without oxygen for so long.MARVELHowever, just a few months on from his ordeal, the boy wonder – who had suffered from heart problems since birth – has made an incredible recovery and is now a happy and healthy child.Mum Rebecca, 31, said: “Sitting in a hospital and seeing my little boy’s heart stop beating is the most terrifying thing that has ever happened to me.“He was hooked up to dozens of machines, when suddenly nurses and doctors started rushing in.“Everything happened so quickly we had no idea what was going on, but obviously, we knew it wasn’t good news. Luckily, Joshua’s surgeon had been passing his room when his heart failed and came rushing in.“Straight away, he just opened up Josh’s chest and started massaging his heart. He was down for 40 minutes altogether – we were so relieved when he came back.“We cannot explain how grateful we are to the surgeon who saved his life – he is a wonderful man.“The whole family is so grateful to have Joshua back home. It’s amazing to see him running around and playing with his sisters. I feel so lucky.”Joshua was diagnosed with congenital heart disease two weeks after he was born. He had four major heart operations and seven minor procedures before he turned two.Joshua had no choice but to have risky surgery to strengthen his ventricles last November,Coach Handbags. There was only a 20% chance he would survive – but his parents felt they had to consent to the op because his heart was working so hard it was in danger of exploding,jordans online store.Joshua survived the 15-hour procedure and was kept in intensive care at Glenfield Hospital in Leicester for two weeks.However, his condition suddenly deteriorated after his heart developed a bleed and he suffered a huge cardiac arrest.When doctors got his heart beating again, they feared he would be severely brain damaged and told his parents to fear the worst.Rebecca revealed: “Josh didn’t respond to anything for days – we didn’t know if he’d ever walk or talk again. He was too ill for his sisters to visit him, but I let them speak down the phone to Josh,Ecco Shoes Men.“It was just before Christmas,Kids' & Women's New Era Hats, and the girls sang Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer over the phone to him. Suddenly, his eyes flickered and a huge grin spread over his face. It was the best moment of my life.“My husband and I burst out crying, and so did all the nurses on the ward,www.jordanshoesformen.com.“His sisters were his magic medicine, and he’s been getting stronger and stronger ever since.”Now Joshua is enjoying being back home with his mum, dad Lee, 29, and sisters Chloe, six, and Mia, three, in Birmingham.Rebecca added: “He has amazed us all with how well he has recovered. His determination and strength blows us all away.“When I look at him running around playing football with his dad, it’s difficult to believe how close we came to losing him.“We are just so grateful to Dr Peek and everyone who looked after him. They really are lifesavers and our family will never be able to thank them enough.”Carmel Hunt, matron for the East Midlands Congenital Heart Centre where the boy recuperated, said: “We are delighted Joshua is now back home with his family and is making a full recovery.” Related articles:
