Her son was born with a number of defects including no anus, no urethra hole in his penis, three holes in his heart , a twisted spinal cord and kidney problems.
Leanne only found out that her son Harry Blunden had a rare condition bifid scrotum urethral duplication in my 2015, after years of after years of searching for diagnosis.
Bifid scrotum, involves him a deep midline cleft in his scrotum that causes two labia folds.
Leanne narrates ;;
"When i first went for my pregnancy scan, they found blood in my urine and i was told that I had lost my baby at six weeks . I was devastated and when i went back and tracked the weeks back,that would have made it to around May 18 last year - which was same week that i was told that Harry had a Vagina."
"I knew there was something internally wrong with Harry as well as the other defects that were picked when he was born. I've spent months since joining facebook groups, support groups and asking experts around the world to try and find out what was wrong with Harry"
"When i found out it was VACTERL association , i broke down because it was such a huge breakthrough and now we can get the treatment to get him to get him on the right path of life. I feel frustrated because if this had been picked when Harry was a baby, He wouldn't have to be in pain that he is right now. It's horrible when Harry is to go in for an operation because he hates it and we have to physically hold him down because it is the only way that we can get him ready for the operation .
"It breaks my heart as it takes eight of us to get him down because he is seven stone,but it's for his own good.Harry has always got a smile on his face,which is amazing when you think of all that he has been through."
"if you look at him, you would never guess that there was anything wrong with him because he's such a happy little boy who loves to sing and dance,and everybody in the local area knows him like celebrity."
