Leionie Power knew something was wrong with her teenage son Archie when he stopped wanting to go to school and always felt exhausted
A mum who became concerned when her teenage son started suffering with headaches and 'wanted to sleep all the time' has said a last minute trip to Specsavers has 'saved his life.'
"I noticed he had started with headaches here and there, but was always something you could put down to something else. I'd tell him to drink more water or get off the computer or get an early night, as you do as a mum," Leionie told the M.E.N. It was in June that she became 'really concerned' when Archie became unsociable and wanted to sleep 'all the time', sparking intensified worries about the problem.
"I was sent up to Stepping Hill and an ophthalmologist rechecked and confirmed the swelling of the nerves and said we needed to go for an emergency CT scan." "It was sickening. My child is 14, and I'm 33 - all my life he has been my best friend. When you get that news as a mum, your brain jumps straight to asking is he going to have a future and a life?"
