dailyrecord.co.uk:

A mum has told how her toddler son will die in a matter of weeks if he can’t get a life-saving double transplant.Jade Earaker, fears her two-year-old boy Zachary Bradford won’t see his third birthday on October, 4.The tot, from Kirkintilloch, is in desperate need of a small bowel and liver transplant in order to survive.

But the donation has to come from another child – with Zachary too small to accept larger adult organs.Zachary was put back on the transplant list earlier this year after he received a new liver in 2013, following five unsuccessful matches.

But he contracted sepsis during his recovery which severely damaged his donor organ.He is now fighting for his life with fears that one more infection could kill him.Mum Jade, 23, has told how she and partner Rhys Bradford, 29, are preparing for the worst.She told the Record: "Doctors say Zachary has weeks, not months, left now.

All we can do is prepare for the worst and pray that we get that call saying they have found a donor.“When they told us last week, it felt like all our nightmares had become reality.“We’ve started speaking to a children’s hospice and we are discussing palliative care for Zachary.“It doesn’t mean we have given up, but we’ve got to plan ahead and have those tough conversations about what comes next.“We have tried so hard to keep our son safe, but it feels like nowhere is safe for him."Every time he gets an infection we 'think this is it'.
