Story
Ronnie was with born TOF/OA( tracheo-oesophageal Fistula) A condition where the baby's food pipe (oesophagus) ends in a blind pouch and does not connect to the stomach, preventing food from passing. An abnormal connection (fistula) between the food pipe and the windpipe (trachea). These two conditions are rare, occurring in roughly 1 in 3,500 births
Ronnie had a 9 hour operation at 2 days old at Royal Hospital for Children & Young People Edinburgh where his O/A & TOF was repaired.
Ronnie and Tommy and some family will be taking part in the 5k “TOFS Teddy Toddle” on Sunday 21st June around the meedies. We hope to raise money for the TOF charity. As his condition is rare there is a lack of information and the charity provide great support and a community of fellow parents to connect. Hopefully the money we can raise can continue to support the charity and help other family’s who are just beginning their TOF journey.
Although Ronnies journey is far from over but we are so proud of how far he has came and we will be honest totally amazed at some of the things he can do. His resilience & courage is inspiring
Any donation will be deeply appreciated 💜
