A heartbroken mum has spoken of the 'extended family' at a Scots charity who helped care for her young son as he battled an inoperable brain tumour.
Aaron Ross was born in 2010 first showed 'concerning symptoms ' when he was three and a half months old, as he started losing weight and wasn't eating regularly.
Resultant tests confirmed he had a brain tumour and it was inoperable, reports Edinburgh Live. His parents Rachel and Michael explained that he didn't respond well to treatment initially and started visiting Rachel House - which is run by children's charity CHAS - at just seven months old.
Rachel said: “We really didn’t want to go to a hospice. We just immediately thought of death and we couldn’t fathom that our beloved Aaron was at the end of his short life but we quickly realised that this was the best place for us to be.
“We spent the summer at Rachel House. A summer I’ll always remember. We were able to spend quality time with our new baby and enjoy some home comforts. Much to our surprise, Aaron started to get more responsive and improve. He’d smile and make noises when he found something funny. He was the happiest boy.”
The next round of tests showed his tumour had stabilised and his condition improved. The youngster was only admitted to hospital on a few occasions in 2012
But sadly, only months after the birth of their second baby in 2013, Aaron's parents learned that the tumour had grown. He was given another round of chemotherapy but it was unsuccessful, leading surgeons to fit him with an external ventricular drain in an attempt to relieve some pressure on his brain.
In 2018 Aaron's health began to decline. Despite the best efforts of medical staff he passed away at Rachel House in 2020, with his parents
