By Caitlin ParrThe parents of a teenager who received a heart transplant after developing a rare complication of Covid say he has been on a "courageous journey".Osian, from Barry, Vale of Glamorgan, first became unwell in February and received his transplant on 30 June.Osian was not aware he had Covid when he first became unwell and was taken to A&E.
Osian appeared to be recovering at first, but after facing a number of setbacks the decision was made to move him to Harefield Hospital in Middlesex where he received the lifesaving heart transplant. "We are now focused on his recovery journey, and ultimately getting him home so that he can return to Stanwell sixth form where he will be doing his A levels with his friends."
A GoFundMe page has also been launched and aims to raise £30,000. Once the cost of Osian's parents staying with him during his recovery have been met, any additional funds raised will go to the Bristol Children's Hospital Charity., the rare complication of coronavirus occurs mainly in children of school-age, but occasionally in infants or young adults.
