Baby Sergio bound for Boston and life-changing op

Baby Sergio O’Connor, a twin with an award-winning smile, will travel to Boston with his parents on Monday for a life-changing operation.

Sergio, from Donnycarney, Dublin, has a rare condition that prevents him from eating, drinking or swallowing. It also prevents him from living at home with his loving family.

The little boy has been confined to Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital in Crumlin, Dublin, since he was born just over a year ago.
