Lawson's quilt    (Quilt Completed)

Thank you

Thank you to everyone involved in making my boy's quilt, he absolutely loves it. Constantly pointing to it and making the sounds.

He doesn't stay still long enough for me to take a picture of him with it, but I have added a picture of his quilt.

Once again I can't thank you all enough. It is absolutely amazing and can tell how much hard work has gone in to each and every square xxx

Biography

Lawson was born in 2023. He had all his newborn checks at the hospital before he was discharged.

At 2 days old he wasn't really drinking much milk, was being sick and the midwife advised to keep an eye on him. At 4 days old he was still the same with his milk and sickness so we contacted the GP who sent him to A&E.

He had tests and x-rays and he was found to have calcification in his bowels which the doctors confirmed to be due to meconium ileus. Lawson also contracted sepsis due to having a perforated bowel, which he had ante-natally but wasn't picked up on any scans.

Genetic tests were done to confirm the cystic fibrosis diagnosis due to my older son also having it. Lawson was confirmed as having CF at around 2 weeks old.

It was a very very scary and emotional time and at 6 days old he had to have an operation to create a ileostomy stoma. He had a long 8-10 weeks hospital stay between intensive care and the ward due to the operation recovery and slow weight gain. He also contracted sepsis for a second time.

He had his stoma reversal in March 2024 and had a 4 weeks stay again due to recovery and sickness.

He now has regular 3 monthly hospital clinic appointments, has to take regular medication and has physiotherapy daily.


He is my brave beautiful 18 month old warrior.
