A proud Edinburgh mum has thanked hero medics after her son was born with a rare condition meaning he has missing bones that will shorten his limbs.
Rosie Paterson, 33, and Leo Thompson, 25, got the shocking news that their unborn son had a radial deficiency which meant he could be born without arms and face further complications.
The mum is hugely appreciative over the "incredible support" she has been given since finding out the news from staff at Edinburgh's Sick Kids - and has found the experience of being a new mum different to what she expected.
