The toddler was lacking in T-cells, another type of white blood cell which helps to protect the body from infection, following his transplant.
The mum-of-four said: “Raffy didn’t have an immune system. He didn’t have anything to fight the virus off. It progressed from his blood into his organs and became very dangerous. “You can’t prepare for losing a child. You don’t imagine it will happen to you. It shouldn’t be our reality but sadly it is.
During this time the virus caused him to develop ulcerative colitis, gut bleeds, external ulcers, mouth sores, two bouts of pancreatitis, a blood clot, death of tissue in the spleen, a bleed between his brain and skull, and seizures. The stay-at-home mum, who has another toddler and two teenage sons, said focusing on the campaign has also helped the family to deal with their grief.
