A mother has been told she has less than a year left to live if she’s unable to have a bowel transplant, after a caesarean birth went wrong. Kelsie McHugh, 30, was having an emergency C-section to give birth to her daughter Renae, now 18 months, when surgeons accidentally sliced a 20cm cut in her bladder. It caused blood and bowel poisoning resulting in intestinal failure and she is now unable to absorb fluids.
“If I am hungry then I will eat but if I eat a full meal then I will just dehydrate myself straight away. “I’m also restricted to just a litre of fluid a day and I can’t go over that. “It’s exhausting to be on top of everything.” While she was in hospital, McHugh was put on fluids which left her “unable to get out of bed without help”. She has had to re-learn how to walk, which she said was “just awful” because she couldn’t even put her feet on the floor at one point.
