Baby faces third surgery at six weeks
A SIX-WEEK-OLD baby could be set to have the third operation of his life as he battles rare conditions.
Callen Gorrian was born at mum Danni and dad Phil’s Kirkcaldy home on February 28 but his bowel had come through a hole in his stomach.
He was diagnosed with rare Beckwith-Weidemann Syndrome, which causes growth defects and can make the infant more susceptible to cancer. He also has hyperinsulinism affecting his blood sugar.
Speaking about the third possible op, Danni said: “They may operate to remove part of his pancreas which would hopefully stop his body producing too much insulin.”
She added: “We are quite positive people and try to take each day as it comes.”
