A little Leeds boy is never sorry for himself despite five organ transplants and becoming allergic to sunlight.
When Patrick Askham was born he had a condition called Gastroschisis, a defect where a baby's intestines and sometimes other organs are found outside the body. Though it can be a common procedure that is easily treatable, eight-year-old Patrick faced complications.
His bowels were matted and his body rejected them, he had to be fed through a tube in his heart because he couldn't eat. He got his first bowel transplant at eight-years-old but due to the complications from the heart feed his other organs began to rot.
