Biography

When Harrison was born he had meconium ileus and had to be taken from Poole hospital to Southampton as he was very poorly. He ended up going through 2 operations as one failed to unblock his bowels, 9 blood transfusions, e coli, pseudomonas infection, a lung collapse and sepsis all before he was 6 weeks old. He got released from hospital when he was 8 weeks old and then went through a hectic first year as was in hospital a lot for IV antibiotics. He has had a few more blockages since but avoided surgery. He has had many hospital stays for IVs in his nearly 8 years of life, had a port fitted in 2015 which has made in-stays a lot better as cannulas and long lines didn't last too long with him. He will be getting a gastrostomy button fitted on the 3rd of Feb as his weight has been an on going battle, and respiratory infections have happened a lot and his lung function sits in the 80's when well. But in those nearly 8 years he never lets it stop him and always has a smile on his face even when he has to swallow daily tablets, 3 nebulisers a day and daily phsyio... He is my hero!
