A 45-year-old mother from Bolton who received a life-changing double lung transplant is aiming to raise awareness about organ donation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heather Bluer was just one of 8,000 people in the UK waiting for a transplant after years of waiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heather had chest infections as a child and as an adult was told she had a genetic condition, Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency, that can affect the lungs and liver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The impact of the condition came to a head during covid. Heather started having \u2018panic attacks\u2019 when she began socialising again after shielding during lockdown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said her GP treated her for anxiety and depression at first, but she \u201crapidly became more unwell with various other symptoms\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heather said: \u201cI told my GP I didn\u2019t feel it was a mental illness and refused to take anymore medication, insisting on further tests. I actually said to the GP ‘I think I\u2019m dying’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Woman

\u201cAfter getting a heart scan, by which point I was in a wheelchair because I could no longer walk from the swelling, they told me the right-hand side of my heart was enlarged and leaking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They thought this was being caused by the issues with my lungs. After taking my sats, which were so low they were not compatible with life, I was immediately admitted, put into a bed and linked up to various machines and oxygen.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A significant decline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Heather was told she needed a double lung transplant, but her poor health meant it took longer than usual to be placed on the transplant list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the next two years her health significantly declined. She became completely bed-bound and required daily carers as she tried to raise her two children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heather says her then 13-year-old daughter \u201cwas regularly drawing up my morphine and called 999 late at night more than once..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘What it has given me is a greater value of the little things’<\/p>Heather Bluer<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In June 2024, Heather received a call that a donor had become available and she needed to get to Wythenshawe Hospital immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heather was sent to Manchester\u2019s world-renowned Heart and Lung Transplant Centre.<\/a> The unit is one of only five specialist centres in the UK offering adult heart and lung transplantation, and the only one serving patients in the North West of England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just over 12 hours after receiving the call, she was in surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new ‘gift of life’<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

She said: \u201cWhat it has given me is a greater value of the little things, I get to see my amazing children grow up and see milestones I never thought possible. Until recently I had never seen my son play football, I can take my daughter shopping, I can enjoy eating without issue, I can see family and friends without them being my carers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I get to be a mum again! 12 months ago I never would have thought this possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am alive and this is thanks to not only the amazing team at Wythenshawe but the incredible gift of life from my donor and their amazing family, debts that I can never begin to repay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heather tells her story to \u201craise awareness of the amazing job the Wythenshawe Heart and Lung Transplant Centre do and raise awareness on organ donation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
