1943 I was admitted with bovine T.B. right ankle, discharged 1945.I am compiling the family history, (at present my life). I remember very well my stay at Alder Hey, and the day my mother and her sister took me home. Adjusting to the outside world was difficult, due to the time in our history. But contrary to advise I have worn high heels all my life and still do and danced the night away, all thanks to Alder Hey and the dedicated surgeons and nursing staff under the difficult conditions at that time. Thanks Alder Hey. Marjie Carlisle

Alder Hey saved my daughters life. There are so many staff to thank. Paige is now 12, and was 8years old when she was first admitted and diagnosed with a brain tumour. Thankyou to all the fabulous staff on M3, ICU, HDU, The radiographers at MRI, and staff in Pharmacy, Mr Newman and staff, The audiology team, all the fabulous playleaders, Click Seargeant social workers, all the hard working staff on the oncology ward and day care, the jobs they do and things they see, takes an amazing person to work there, and make such a difference. Biggest Thanks go to Connor Mallucci - Brain surgeon, Dr Barry Pizer - Consultant Oncologist, Dr Thorpe - Consultant Radiographer and the phenomenal Macmillan Nurses Phred and Jo. Without all of you, where would we be now. Also thanks to the cleaners, not only did they constantly clean up sick, they always had a smile for us too. Paige doesn't dread hospital, she looks forward every couple of months to catching up with you all, her new friends. BIG thanks x x

I would like to thank all the staff who were on the Burns Unit back in July 1982 for looking after me, after a house fire almost took my life. You do a fantastic job, and not a day goes by without me being grateful to you all. I realise that its unlikely that there will be any of the same staff there now, but the message is still the same. Thanks to you all for all that you do for the children who need you.
Thanks,
Lee

It has almost been 4 years since my spinal operation to correct a curvature and things could't be better. My back is lovely and straight and now at the age of 18, the metal rod comes in handy, helping me to stand up straight after a long night of dancing hehe. What more could you ask for?

To everyone on the k2 and icu wards,
my wife joanne and i would like to thank you all so much for the hard work and determination you all showed to our baby george, who had open heart surgery in august last year. Without your love, support and devotion to your occupations it might have turned out different for our gorgeous george. but because of your help he is now a healthy bundle of joy. We treasure every minute with him, thank you for making that possible.
you all deserve awards,
thanks again, gavin and jo xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

i was in Alder Hey when i was four i had to have heart operations, ive just found this and after reading other thankyou messages, i decided to write my own. im 15 now, but i have to come back for regular outpatient checkups. i would like to say thank you to the doctors, nurses and surgeons for making my initial stay and operation run smoothly and making me feel better. When i go back now they are still a great help and make me smile, the wards are clean and tidy, and the staff are helpful and kind, no matter how nervous i feel they keep my mind off things and explain me through what they see. i would just like to say a huge thank you to everyone who have helped me either by performing the surgery, or just keeping me occupied whilst in the icu. THANK YOU

I have only just discovered this wonderful site and read a few comments from families who have been in the same situation as us, which is such a comfort.

In May 2007 Dylan Tilley and Emma Tilley my two beautiful grandchildren were born, but my poor daughter Laura knew that Dylan had a congenital heart defect so at birth Dylan was whisked away for scans and treatment.

In the first two weeks of life Dylan found hiself in the hands of Dr Nelson at Alder Hey who saved his life and performed the most amazing surgery on his heart. Dylan was so helpless in ITU and the staff were absolutley marvellous, words cannot express our thanks. HDU and finally K2 made sure Dylan survived the surgery and was able to come home.

10 months on Dylan is back in Pendlebury Hospital his heart shunt has developed a leak and he is very blue, we now await the next hurdle and second op.

You are amazing people and whilst Dylan is still tiny compared to sister Emma, he is beautiful. God bless you wonderful people at Alder Hey our beautiful boy's fate is in your hands.

Love to you all - thanks to Ronald McDonald House too without you where would we stay!!

I am 4 years old and broke my elbow 4 weeks ago. I had to have wires put in and had them taken out yesterday. I don't know my doctors name but after i left, easter eggs where given out. My doctor took one each for me and my brother and dropped them off at my house today. I think he is very kind!!

It's exactly a year ago that our beautiful daughter Olivia was submitted to Alder Hey ICU with meningococcal septicaemia, with us her fraught and petrified parents.
We were met by a team of nurses, doctors & consultants who treated us with compassion and honesty from the moment we arrived. They worked tirelessly on Olivia 24hrs a day, for which we cannot find the words that convey our eternal gratitude.
Olivia has made a full recovery thankfully and we have always wanted to say thank you to everyone involved in saving her at not only at Alder Hey, but that thanks also extends to all the staff at Chorley hospital who first saw us, the ambulance drivers who transferred us to Preston Royal hospital, the Preston A&E team (especially the consultant who acted so quickly to get her to theatre! I hope to find her one day and hug her!). The team in theatre that spent 6 hours bringing her back from the brink, the Alder hey transfer team, ICU and all the staff on ward M3 who looked after us when we left ICU.
One last thank you to my husband, who did not hesitate.
THANK YOU ALL!!

Hi there its been 10 mths since our son Michael transferred from Glan Clwyd hospital in Wales.
He was suffering from a servere case of pneumonia and his right lung had colapsed,he was on a ventilator for approx 4 days, during this time we were so worried but the nurses and doctors were great, later he was transferred to ward b3 where the staff were all still great.
He is now approaching his 2nd birthday next month and is now fit and well, he has been discharged now and hopefully it will stay that way for all of us.
THANKS YOU ALL AGAIN KEEP UP ALL THE GOOD WORK.
Helen, Lee and Michael
