Anna Dunn, 40, says her world turned upside down when she was told by doctors that Bonham had Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia type 2A.
A Scots mum has told how her "world collapsed" after discovering that her son had a rare life-limiting genetic disorder which left him unable to function independently.
"But my world collapsed and I just broke because I was back in the worst case scenario. I had to fight to get him home and we didn't sleep for months. "That is probably one of things he really enjoys because he can eat during meal times, that is something we all just take for granted. He can't talk but as a family we know what he wants. He is a happy boy and full of fun.
Despite Bonham's condition, his mum is ensuring that he can live as normal a life as possible and visit places and attractions other five-year-old's love going to."There is nothing more amazing than seeing the determination in that wee boy who just wants to engage with people. "He loves rock music especially with drums. He goes to Riverbrae Primary School, which is the most phenomenal place.
