The mother of a baby who was born with one arm and no legs says her son is progressing “really well”.
Little Henry Higgs, now aged 11 months, has shown his bubbly personality over recent months, with him splashing in the bath and reaching out to touch his toys.
His mother Rosie Higgs, a special needs school care assistant from Harrow, had been told her unborn son might have amniotic band syndrome – a condition which could stop his limbs from growing properly – at her routine 20-week scan.
But despite the news, she insisted she had “no doubt” to keep her baby boy.
