Mum's joy as sick son battles through three blood transfusions to make it home for Christmas
25.12.2022 - 12:35 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A Scots mum whose little boy had to undergo three blood transfusions has spoken of her 'happiness and relief' after he was allowed home from hospital in time for Christmas. Rico Thompson, seven, was diagnosed with Stage 4 chronic kidney disease shortly after he was born and spent his first few years in and out of hospital.
The Lossiemouth schoolboy underwent a transplant in 2019 after his mum, Katie, donated one of her kidneys to him. This helped Rico's condition remain stable for the next three years, but a routine blood test in November sparked concerns over his creatinine levels.
To relieve some of the stress on his kidneys, he underwent surgery at Glasgow's Royal Hospital for Children where doctors inserted a suprapubic catheter into his bladder and a stent in his ureter. However, the youngster lost quite a lot blood during the operation and was quickly set up on a blood transfusion by doctors.
Mum Katie, 30, said: "Before the transfusions, Rico was almost lifeless. He was so pale that you couldn't even see his lips. His eyes went really dark and he was cold to touch.
"But after his third round the difference in him was amazing. You could finally see that he was getting colour back in his cheeks. Me and my husband were sitting there crying our eyes out and he was just trying to make us all laugh and smile."
Rico spent almost three weeks in hospital, with mum Katie staying at nearby Ronald McDonald house while dad Jack, 32, travelled back and forth at weekends from the family home in Lossiemouth with Rico's two big sisters Carmel, 12, and Skylar-Rae, 8. He was eventually well enough be discharged on December 6.
Katie continued: "The team of medics who look after Ricoare just incredible, especially the team on Ward 3C.
