A little girl who desperately wants to give her baby brother a cuddle has to make do with tenderly taking care of a replica doll of him, while he recovers from a heart transplant.
Nora Dolan, 2, carries the doll of “baby Henry” with her everywhere, having never been able to hug her brother after he was born six months ago.
Baby Henry was born 12 weeks early and was diagnosed with two serious heart conditions. He has been very unwell and his sisters, who desperately want to hug him, have to wait until he comes home.
He needed life-saving surgery in order to survive and is now recovering.
Nora is staying at home with her older sister Ava, while their mum is with baby Henry in hospital. As they can’t be with him, the sisters were given a specially made doll which has tubes attached and a wire fixed to its chest.
