A mum didn't know anything was wrong with her new-born baby until he was rushed away by doctors at birth.
Nicola Dugdale, from Huyton, gave birth to her first child Jude on March 25 2013, and the 35-year-old said during her pregnancy, there were no signs of any issues. However Nicola's labour was quite traumatic, and doctors at Whiston Hospital rushed Jude away as soon as he was born.
Following tests and a move to Alder Hey at 12 hours old, it was discovered that little Jude was suffering from a very rare vascular tumour on the side of his face called Kaposiform Haemangioendothelioma with Kasabach Merritt Syndrome- a type of tumour which destroys the platelets which are responsible for blood clotting.
