Parents hope Sergio may be home for birthday

Toddler Sergio O’Connor has just returned to Ireland after undergoing major surgery to connect his digestive system in the US.

Sergio, who will be two years old next month, has spent all his life in hospital and his parents are hoping he will be home for his birthday.

After spending nine months being treated at the Children’s Hospital in Boston, he is now being assessed at Our Lady’s Hospital for Sick Children in Dublin.
