Some members of The Bonnie Men
Baby Sergio O’Connor, a twin was born 05 March 2011 with a number of complications and among the severest is a rare condition which prevents him from eating, drinking or swallowing. The congenital defects were diagnosed during pregnancy. Sergio was separated from his twin brother at birth and moved to the Intensive Care Unit. The other twin, Tadhg was born in good health.
Sergio has a gap between his oesophagus and his stomach. The only treatment available in Ireland would condemn Sergio to a lifetime of medication and 24 hour care. His parents, friends and medical team are hoping that a ground breaking procedure abroad at the Oesophageal Advanced Centre in Boston which uses the Foker technique will allow Sergio’s oesophagus to be repaired rather than replaced. This will give him a better quality of life. {More information here}
