2013 Finn's Journey { 22 images } Created 3 Feb 2014

The story of the first two months in the life of Finn Jones, born with a condition which meant he had to undergo life-saving major heart surgery aged just 11 days old.

This is his journey - accompanied by his parents - from three-days-old through the intensive care unit at the Evelina London Childrens' Hospital and the operating theatre to going home for the first time 10 weeks later.

(These photographs contain images from Finn's 'heart switch' operation, which you may find disturbing.)
