On the Podcast: Libby
Libby shares the story of her 2-year-old daughter Darla, and her journey with Hirschsprung's from the very start.
The story begins with Libby being discharged from hospital with her daughter, despite Darla not passing her meconium and having coughed up green bile (classic signs of Hirschsprung's).
Thankfully a visiting midwife became her saviour as she was transferred to specialist hospital Alder Hey, where her daughter could receive lifesaving treatment.
Later in the episode Libby explains the need for mothers to be offered support if their child has gone through a condition such as Hirschsprung's, as it is a very traumatic time for both parent and child, especially when it comes to surgery.
