Sergio O’Connor, Donal, Rosa and Tadhg arrived back in Ireland this week after a stay of over nine months in the Children’s Hospital Boston where Sergio underwent specialist life-changing operations and treatment not available in Ireland.
Sergio and his father Donal travelled home by air-ambulance with refueling stopovers in Newfoundland and Iceland before arriving in Dublin late last night. They were met on arrival by an ambulance for transfer to Our Lady’s Hospital for Sick Children, Crumlin.
Donal and his wife Rosa are so appreciative of the excellent care and medical attention they received in Boston and will be forever in their debt.
Sergio is now into a new phase of his life and with the support of the staff of Our Lady’s Hospital for Sick Children, Crumlin, will continue to make progress.
Sergio will remain under observation in Our Lady’s Hospital for Sick Children, Crumlin. It is hoped that Sergio will be discharged in the near future, allowing his parents Donal and Rosa to bring their smiley baby home from hospital to live with the rest of his family for the very first time. Since his birth in March 2011, Sergio has been confined to hospitals. It is hoped that he can live a relatively normal life with his twin brother, Tadhg at the family home in Dublin.
Donal and Rosa would like to acknowledge the overwhelming support from so many sources in the community, including neighbours, friends and traditional musicians across the country who rallied behind the O’Connor family and have been actively supporting the Help Sergio Appeal with concerts and fundraising events. Donal who works in rehabilitation at the Central Remedial Clinic, Clontarf, has taken unpaid leave of absence to care for Sergio in Boston.
Sergio O’Connor, Donal, Rosa y Tadhg regresaron a Irlanda esta semana después de una estancia de más de nueve meses en el Hospital de Niños de Boston, donde Sergio tuvo algunas operaciones con los especialistas del mundo en el esofago y tuvo el tratamiento deseado el cual está disponible en Irlanda.
Sergio y su padre Donal viajaron a casa en avión-ambulancia con escalas en Terranova e Islandia antes de llegar a Dublín anoche. Fueron recibidos a su llegada por una ambulancia para trasladarlos al Hospital de Nuestra Señora para Niños Enfermos, Crumlin.
Donal y su esposa Rosa estan agradecidos por la excelente atención y la atención médica que recibieron en Boston y estarán siempre en deuda con ellos.
Sergio esta ahora en una nueva fase de su vida y con el apoyo del personal del Hospital de Nuestra Señora para Niños Enfermos, Crumlin, seguirá progresando.
Sergio permanecerá en observación en el Hospital de Nuestra Señora para Niños Enfermos, Crumlin. Se espera que Sergio será dado de alta en el futuro cercano, permitiendo que sus padres Donal y Rosa puedan llevar su bebé a casa sonriente del hospital y vivir con el resto de su familia por primera vez desde su nacimiento en marzo de 2011, Sergio se ha limitado a los hospitales. Se espera que pueda vivir una vida relativamente normal con su hermano gemelo, Tadhg en la casa de la familia en Dublín.
Donal y Rosa les gustaría agradecer el apoyo abrumador de muchas fuentes en la comunidad tanto en Espana con en Irlanda, incluidos los vecinos, amigos y músicos tradicionales de todo el país que se reunieron detrás de la familia O’Connor y han estado apoyando activamente el llamamiento de ayuda de Sergio con conciertos y eventos de recaudación de fondos en Irlanda . Donal, que trabaja en la clinica de rehabilitacion Central Remedial, Clontarf, ha tomado una excedencia sin goce de sueldo para cuidar a Sergio en Boston.
