A Glasgow mum has raised thousands of pounds for her son who has a rare condition in the hope that he will walk 'one day'.
Nicola Carey, from the west end of the city, decided to look outside of the NHS for treatment for two-year-old Beau, who suffers from a condition that means he's unable to hold his head up, sit unaided, crawl or walk. Little Beau was born naturally a week early but hadn't shown any signs of Hirschsprung's disease and Shah-Waardenburg syndrome in the scans or check-ups.
Hirschsprung's disease is a rare condition that causes poo to become stuck in the bowels. Children who have Hirschsprung's disease are prone to a serious intestinal infection called enterocolitis which can be life-threatening.
