Grace Batterson has been given a new lease of life
A girl who spent 17 months hooked up to a machine has finally been given the freedom she dreamed of after receiving one all-important phone-call.
Her mum Elaine Brewin said: "It's been a long time coming. We're really relieved, really happy, and really thankful to the other family involved in our swap. "She was really looking forward to it, thinking about all the things she could do once she had her operation. She had a very restrictive diet; anything that was high in potassium, anything that was potato-based she couldn't have, including chips and mashed potatoes. Coca-cola, fizzy drinks, orange juice, lots of fruits, chocolate.
