down there was still something else wrong with my baby.  Whilst
we were at Lewisham Hospital Callum had an ultrasound on his
head where they discovered that the ventricles in his brain were
larger than what they should have been so he was sent for CT

was transferred to Lewisham Hospital where he underwent surgery
at to correct the pylorixstinonsis but unfortunately this didn't
solve the problem and Callum was still very sick and I knew deep
