INSPIRED VOICES #1 Carly Brammer

Carly is mum of Henri - a patient Alder Hey Children's Hospital in December 2022. Henri had complained of a headache, which  Carly initially put down to festive excitement. However, after doctors at Henri’s local hospital diagnosed him with a viral infection, Carly demanded further tests be done, where Henri was found to have an infection on his brain, caused by Strep A.

Henri was then rushed to Alder Hey, where he underwent neurosurgery to remove the infection. During his time at Alder Hey, Henri bravely endured two Craniotomy procedures and one aspiration surgery, before spending time recovering on Ward 4A. After 4 weeks, Henri was allowed to be discharged, albeit after missing out on Christmas and New Year celebrations at home.

Since then, he and his family have been committed to raising crucial funds for Alder Hey, as a thank you for everything they have done for Henri.

Carly came in to talk with Cath and Adam at the charity in the first of a series of podcasts with our amazing Inspiring Voices.
