A Ballymoney family are hoping doctors working between London and Belfast can diagnose mystery bleeds in their three-year old son Oliver.
Victoria Blair told Belfast Live that Ollie received emergency surgery in 2019 when he was two months old, for a malrotation of the bowel.
"When we were in Great Ormond Street Hospital in July, they did a CT scan which was able to show it was the main artery in his bowel that is under pressure," Victoria told Belfast Live. The family have been back and forward to London and could face the prospect of going there again before Christmas, depending on what is said at their next review at the end of the month.
She added that the family has been blessed to have the support of aunties and grandparents that have helped them so much already. "Carson just thinks this is normal and he'll ask me wee things like if he had tubes when he was a baby, but he deals with it pretty well."
