BRAVE two-year-old Beatrix Archbold has been given the gift of life with a new heart – just weeks after her parents made a desperate plea in The Sun.
Dad Terry and mum Cheryl were terrified they would lose her after she had spent nearly half her life in hospital being kept alive by an artificial organ.
Beatrix suffered a life-threatening blood clot in April and they issued their urgent appeal for a donor, fearing she would run out of time.
First daughter Isabel was stillborn five years ago and the devastated couple donated her heart for research to help others.
Now, Beatrix has had a transplant and is recovering at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle. The family hopes she will be home within a few weeks.
