Ali started life-saving dialysis when he was a week old, and his parents Shona and Reece said he spent most of his life in hospital.

The family of a two-year-old boy who is waiting for a kidney transplant from his father is hoping to have the operation done before Christmas.

Ali, from Sutton, near Ely, Cambridgeshire, was born with a posterior urethral valve, which caused kidney failure.

He started life-saving dialysis when he was a week old, and his parents Shona and Reece said he spent most of his life in hospital.

They wanted to raise the profile of Peterborough-based charity Kidney Research UK and expand Ali's world to be “more than a house, a car and repeated dialysis”.

The family travels to Nottingham four times a week for dialysis, which lasts four hours each time.

Ali's diagnosis was like being “thrown into a vortex of information,” Shona said.

“We are fighting with him and we are fighting for him.

“He's really an angel. He's so happy, so calm, so laid back and everyone always says how calm he is. He takes everything on the chin.

“Little Trooper… an absolute hero.”

Ali is said to have been monitored as a baby while he was kept in an incubator at the hospital. A breathing tube is connected to the nose, and other wires are connected to the legs and abdomen. His stomach is covered with a small gray knitted blanket.Supplied

Ali's family said they are looking forward to watching him discover food once he no longer has a feeding tube and playing with the new kids at kindergarten.

Rees, who was matched as a donor, hoped the transplant, scheduled for December, would allow Ali to have his first Christmas outside the hospital.

“Ant's life is so far very limited,” he says.

“If he was healthy he would be in nursery school by now, but he is behind the younger children who are already walking and talking.

“We focused on all the positive things that were happening and took little wins every day. We just have to ride the wave and do it for them.”

“Let's buy some time”

Ali will likely need multiple transplants during his lifetime.

“We hope this will give us enough time to carry out research and reduce the long-term impact that his kidney disease will have on his life,” Shona said.

Lucy Sleeves, Executive Director of Kidney Research UK, said: “Ali's childhood was severely affected by kidney disease, but advances in research could mean a better future for him and other patients.” said.
