Broddie Barr wasn't expected to live after birth and has had fourteen major operations in the space of just three years.
A toddler who is battling a rare medical condition got the surprise of a lifetime from his ice hockey hero.
Brodie wasn’t expected to live after being born eight weeks premature suffering from an extremely rare condition called Vacterl syndrome, which means he has several life-threatening medical conditions. Leona, from Irvine, Ayrshire said: “Brodie is our little miracle and we call him Brodie Barr Superstar. He was only three pounds when he was born and with all the medical issues, he wasn’t supposed to make it into this world. But he’s a warrior and takes everything in his stride.
“Brodie loves going to see The Clan and he knows the words of all the songs fans sing. Gary Haden is one of his favourite players and when Gary walked in and Brodie realised who was standing there in front of him, he was absolutely delighted.Leona added: “We were all so overwhelmed that Gary took the time out his day to visit Brodie and the look on our boy’s face said everything about how much he loved to see Gary.
