Will Daddy's New Heart Still Love Me?

Plea by son following transplant

- Felicity Cross

A Dad fought back from a heart attack after his son roused him from a coma.

Carl Ross, 35, fell ill while watching eight-year-old Cade playing football.

With his heart and brain failing, Carl was slipping away until Cade read out a heartfelt letter – which inspired the father of two to fight back.

But he was not out the woods yet, and had to survive a heart transplant.

While thrilled his dad was on the mend, Cade had another agonising concern on his mind – and asked mum Kirsty Stringer if his father’s new heart would still love him.
