Two-year-old Jack Fennessey has Pallister Killian Syndrome — an extremely rare chromosome disorder which causes weak muscle tone in infancy, intellectual disability and distinctive facial features.
Scott and Jack's dad Callum have been best friends since they were both four years old and now work together as painter and decorators. The 31-year-old said: "Just over two years ago me and my partner welcomed our baby boy Jack into the world, however after thirteen months we noticed that our baby was not hitting his milestones.
"Jack's muscles don't develop the same as ours so everything - from his eyes to his heart - has to be constantly checked on. Luckily everything is working perfect at the moment but he can't crawl, walk or talk at the moment." "Every wee milestone he reaches is another tick in the box and is even more rewarding. And his sister Amber, who is seven, has been an amazing big sister to Jack and an amazing help to both me and her mum.
