Biography

Macaulay was born on March 20th 1995. He had pneumonia & was in special care for 15 days. He was then allowed home for 2 weeks & wasn't feeding properly or gaining weight. he was then transferred back to hospital where they detected a heart mumur so he had an operation to repair that at 5 1/2 weeks old at the Royal Brompton in London. He was then transferred back to our local hospital to recover.

They then found he had more problems as he kept projectile vomiting, so they did a Nissans operation to stop him from being sick. from there on his health went downhill. I battled for 7 years to say there was still something wrong with him as his stomach blew up like a balloon. They eventually transferred him to Great Ormand Street Hospital where it took them a year of extensive testing to come up with a diagnosis of his problem ~ Neuropathic Pseudo Obstruction.

The only treatment for this is several different medicines; they have performed an ileostomy & gastrostomy. he is on Peptamin fed via his gastrostomy 3 bolus & 1 pump feed.

Macaulay is a postpal
