A Co Tyrone mum has praised the work of health and social care staff who looked after her son as he became seriously ill due to a rare condition after he was born.
Leo Allen from Augher will celebrate his first birthday in November and his mum Kerry says he is now thriving - despite spending his first month in hospital.
He was born with a rare chromosome abnormality which is yet to have been given a name, but Kerry says it has had an impact on Leo’s breathing, muscle tone and mental and physical development.
