 TRAGIC tot Luke Winston-Jones has been transferred to a specialist children's hospital in Liverpool for medical tests. The eight-month-old was yesterday taken by ambulance from Bangor's Ysbyty Gwynedd to Alder Hey hospital. The family of the youngster, born with three holes in his heart and given just weeks to live, has been given support by the Duchess of York. He is likely to stay at the Merseyside hospital for a week, where he'll undergo a series of examinations. Doctors will be investigating feeding Luke by percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy, or PEG. This means he will be fed through a tube, put into his stomach using an endoscope. It is a long-term feeding solution and Luke's family say it is a sign he is doing well. His 34-year-old mum, Ruth, from Holyhead, who has two other children, said: "They're having a look to establish how well he's doing, and maybe to see if his feeding method can be changed. "I'm going reluctantly. He doesn ' t respond well to moving. "I feel quite sick about the whole thing." |
