Biography

Theo was born at 26 weeks and suffered 3 brain bleeds within the first three days of life. He fought and fought defying all predictions. Theo was diagnosed with quadriplegic cerebral palsy, he is registered blind, he has epilepsy and has always had feeding problems.

Theo has had 22 operations in his short life so far and was fed via tpn until he contracted bacterial menengitis. Theo is now fed into his bowel.

Despite all this Theo never fails to give a smile and giggle. Theo's story and photos of him are available on the Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice website (follow links to family stories) He is such a beautiful inspirational child!!!
