A boy was told he was born with an extra organ after complaining of frequent stomach aches. Little Alfie Hooton began feeling unwell around Christmas last year and was diagnosed with a water infection.
But in weeks to come the underlying cause would shock Alfie and his parents Michelle and Mike. Dad Mike said: "The GP listened to our description of Alfie's pain and straight away he knew what might be going on.
"Within 10 days we were in Alder Hey having further tests, blood tests and ultrasound scans, and it was the week before Christmas that we had our first knowledge that something was wrong." The results found Alfie had a double kidney on one side.
