The Hirschsprung’s Hour is the leading Hirschsprung’s show in the world. The condition effects 1 in 5000 babies in the UK and is present when the ganglion cells (nerves) fail to form in parts of the intestine. Tom Richard will bring you some of the most inspirational advocates with this condition, who are thriving in the world of sport, TV and modelling from around the world.
Bekki shares her journey as the mother of a 2-year-old son diagnosed with Hirschsprung’s disease. We discuss preparing for surgery from both parent and child perspectives and how stomas affect hydration.
