FOR the parents of little Aidan Rosser the worst part is not knowing.

The youngster from Clos San Pedr, Cockett isn't able to walk or talk despite being two.

His parents, Chris Rosser and Michelle Stabler, have not been given answers as to why Aidan hasn't developed like other children his age.

Doctors have told the family they are unsure and have been unable to give a specific diagnosis.

Mystery

Dad Chris, 36, said: "We are completely in the dark and limbo over what its wrong with Aidan, it is just a mystery really.

"Michelle had a healthy pregnancy. After he was born Aidan was kept in hospital for a week as he had an inflamed stomach but that was it.

"Then we noticed he had an extra roll of fat by his groin and it has all stemmed from there. "He hasn't been able to sit up or crawl or any of the other things you would expect a child of his age to be doing."

Mr Rosser said Aidan has paid regular visits to Morriston Hospital in a bid to try and find a diagnosis for his problems.

"We went to see a specialist last week and while we were there nine different doctors looked at him," he said.

"He is having a CT scan next week too which he will have to be sedated for.

"It's hard for Michelle and I to watch him go through that.

"We have three other children and are experienced parents, so we know where Aidan should be.

"All our other children go to Sketty Primary School and as we don't know what is wrong, we think the worst sometimes and wonder if he will be able to go to school like his brothers and sisters.

"His brothers and sisters have started to ask what is wrong with him too and Michelle and I haven't been able to give them an answer yet."

In a bid to help Aidan's development, the family have launched their own website and fundraising mission to help raise funds to pay for toys and equipment which will make his life easier.

Specialised

Mr Rosser, who runs his own recycling business, said: "A new specialised tricycle which will support Aidan cost £1,200.

"Then there are things like sensory toys which will help him too, but they are very expensive as well.

"We have a couple of things lined up, including a charity football match in the new year to raise funds to help Aidan as much as we can."
