A mum who lost her son to a painful skin disorder recalled his emotional last words as she called for more help for other families. Maria Fynes' son Aaron died of the condition epidermolysis bullosa (EB) when he was just 16.
As reported by Dublin Live, the genetic disorder brought Aaron terrible suffering throughout his life. He was born in 1985 with no skin on his right leg or right ankle, and he had large fluid-filled blisters on his chest.
When nurses tried to feed him his first bottle, the skin on his tongue and roof of his mouth ripped away. He ended up being fed through a tube in his nose and Maria learned how to gently feed him milk with a spoon.
