Fight to Breathe
Description
Great Ormond Street Hospital is the last chance for children in the UK whose lungs are failing because of cystic fibrosis and other conditions. In a few very severe cases each year, their only hope of survival is to undergo a double lung transplant. This program follows the perilous but potentially life-changing process of giving a child new lungs. Charlie is 9-years-old and has cystic fibrosis. For most of his life he has managed to cope, but in recent months his condition has rapidly deteriorated. Jess is 14, and was told she should be listed for a lung transplant two years ago, but she was too scared. Chloe is 11 and has been waiting for new lungs for nearly a year. Louie is a few days short of his second birthday. Doctors are considering making him the youngest patient ever to have a lung transplant at Great Ormond Street.
