The town of Edenderry, as well as people from all over the world, have been praying over the last few days after a heartbreaking update on the health of little Daire McDonnell.
The Edenderry one-year-old who was flown to the UK for specialist treatment for a rare bowel disease in October is now in a critical condition, according to his family.
Daire was flown to Newcastle by the Irish Air Corps after being deemed a match for a potentially life-saving stem cell transplant. He is still in the UK receiving treatment. He was born with multiple atresia of the bowel. He is dependent on total parenteral nutrition (TPN), a form of feeding that bypasses the gastrointestinal tract.
