Care Assistant

About Me

My name is Mohammed but I prefer to be called Mustafa. I am 12 years old and I live at home with my mum and dad as well as my two younger brothers and my baby sister. When my mum was pregnant with me I was not growing very well and the umbilical cord was not supplying me with all the nutrients I needed. Because of this my mum had to have me at 34 weeks and I only weighed 4lbs. All of the healthcare professionals told my mum I was fine but at 5 weeks old my mum became concerned that I was not crying for feeds and she had to always wake me up for a feed. At a few months old I was starting to struggle with my feeds so my mum took me to hospital where they found that I had aspiration lung disease. This means that anything I have orally will go into my lungs causing me to struggle to breath. Due to this I have all of my nutrition and medication via a gastrostomy tube and daily chest physio. I was also born with a THOC2 gene defect which means that I have a neurocognitive and growth disorder. This was only picked up when I was not hitting my milestones and I have never been able to walk or talk. This condition is degenerative which means that I will slowly deteriorate. As a result of this I now have epilepsy and dystonia. I enjoy having books read to me being sung to and spending time with my family. I also enjoy going to school as have the opportunity to interact with children my own age with similar health conditions as me.
