At birth we discovered Oliver had Spina Bifida and hydrocephalus. His first surgery being performed on his spine at only 12 hours old, he then had a VP shunt inserted at 10 days old. At 2 weeks old he started with respiratory problems and had a tracheostomy inserted which was successfully removed when he was 2 years old however he still needs a ventilator overnight. Oliver uses a wheelchair and walking frame to get around.
Oliver had a tough start but he loves life and does everything with a smile. Oliver has the best big sister Katie who he loves to play with. Oliver is a wonderful little boy full of determination and we are proud of everything he achieves.
