Our Story

Fenn Veera Riley was born on 19th December 2024 to parents Kyle & Jeena at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford. He was born with complicated congenital heart defects that required immediate and extensive medical care from the very beginning. He had the first of many open heart surgeries when he was seven days old at the University Hospital Southampton. Although the surgery to reconstruct his aorta was successful he suffered complications and developed necrotising enterocolitis (NEC), a form of bowel disease triggered by a lack of blood flow to the intestine. This led to a prolonged stay in the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit and G4 ward in Southampton Children’s Hospital.
