Story
Young Windy - Open Heart Surgery
You may know me as Windy Wilson Scotland's greatest ever AMATEUR weatherman. Dad to young Windy and husband of Gusty
On Monday 21st December my 14 year old son "young Windy" underwent open heart surgery for a large ASD (Atrial Septal Defect) at the Royal Hospital for Children Glasgow, where he spent an agonising 6 hours in surgery before being transferred to the PICU (Paediatric Intensive Care Unit) to spend another 18 hours before finally being transferred to Ward 1e
Long story short. Young Windy's CHD (Congenital Heart Defect) was picked up by accident during other tests that were getting done. So it came as a massive shock to us all
Gusty was instrumental in dealing with all the medical stuff and getting him sorted for surgery . . . something that went on for nearly 18 months due to Covid restrictions
I'm raising money for the British Heart Foundation SCOTLAND and I'd be eternally grateful for your support
The BHF has helped halve the number of people dying from heart and circulatory disease in the UK but sadly every day hundreds of people lose their lives
Because of people like us the BHF can create new treatments and discover new cures - For example £24 could pay for two hours of research by an early career scientist, but every pound helps so please give what you can to help me hit my target
Thank you so much for your continued support in all my fund raising efforts. To date Team Windy have raised a staggering £170,00 for good causes
*And it goes without saying. A special heartfelt thanks to Chuck "golden hands" McLean, all the Theatre 8 Team, the staff in the PICU and Ward 1e . . . and all the other NHS staff that were involved in our journey along the way
