Biography

Liam was born prematurely weighing 5lb 12oz. His birth was classed at traumatic as it was so fast.

From the beginning he was unable to eat or have a bowel motion, he lost lots of weight and was referred to hospital, where he was given tests and medicines which did not help. He then was in and out of hospital and we tried lots of medicines and treatments which failed to help and resulted in him having a gastrostomy when he was 10.

Despite all these treatments and interventions he still has major eating issues, sleeping issues, ongoing chronic constipation which now will need more interventions to try and help his bowels as he still relies on nappies at night and sometimes in the day. Due to all this he is showing signs of anxiety around food/mealtimes, bedtimes, being alone, sleeping and going out incase he has a toilet accident. He has also become very reluctant to mix and speak.
