A mum discovered her baby boy had a "ticking time bomb" inside him just days after returning from a family Haven holiday.
Lyndsey Rowe realised something was wrong with her nine month old son, Mason, when he was not crawling properly. Mason had been his usual happy self during a trip at Haven Hafan y Môr Holiday Park in North Wales two days earlier, she said.

"It was all of a sudden," said Lyndsey. "A couple of days before, we were in Haven.
"We'd gone on a little trip and he was crawling around, everything was perfectly fine. Within two days of coming home we realised he wasn't moving his right leg or right arm, and he couldn't close his right eye properly.
"We were sat on the floor together playing. When I went to move further away from him usually he would crawl to me, and he just lay down instead. He was trying to move towards me but only with his left arm."
Lyndsey said she thought Mason, now aged 16 months, was just being lazy at first until she realised his face was also "crooked" on one side. He was taken to Alder Hey Children's Hospital by his dad Robert, while Lyndsey stayed at home with their eldest son Leo, six.

"As soon as we found out my mum was on a plane from Ireland straight away the next morning to be with our other little boy Leo, so I could go to the hospital."
