Joshua Gardiner, who was born with a congenital heart disease, went straight to hospital from his routine appointment and didn't leave for more than two months. "I went in for a routine check-up in February expecting them to say everything was fine," Joshua told Leicestershire Live . "But they told me that I needed to have surgery right away, which was a bit of a shock. Eventually after the nine weeks doctors agreed that they could perform surgery - an operation that Josh was told would be "high risk". Thankfully the operation went according to plan and Josh survived the surgery; he says he is now recovering well.
