Cherish your grandparents, they're amazing ❤️

Patrick Askham loves rocket ships and was amazed as he watched the SpaceX launch in May from his hospital bed.

Due to his extremely short bowel, Patrick’s own remaining nine centimetre bowel is unable to absorb any nutrients so he is artificially fed via a broviac line which goes directly into his heart.Patrick was placed on the donor registry for a bowel transplant in 2018 and by Christmas that year he received his first gift of life.

‘He has all these wonderful dreams but he’s life limited, so when he tells us about growing up and doing all sorts we get really emotional.Following his request for a rocket ship, grandad Garry immediately got to work and spent a couple of hours each day in between work building the incredible bed.Advertisement
