Carson was born three months prematurely with a heart defect, chronic lung disease, spina bifida and brittle bone disease. Carson has had 40 operations for illnesses including a heart defect, lung disease and spina bifida. He also has to carry a machine around with him to breathe through a tube. ‘He’s a livewire. I bet he keeps you on his toes,’ Prince Harry said to his parents, Damian, 23, and Kirsty, 34. Mrs Hartley told Harry that Carson had four other siblings. ‘I would hate to have four sisters,’ the prince joked. Afterwards Mrs Hartley said: ‘He told me that he couldn’t believe how much energy he had and how he couldn’t believe how happy he was given everything that has happened. He was absolutely lovely and just amazing with Carson.’ [Read more: dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2765678/He-s-livewire-Harry-gets-enthusiastic-hug-brave-boy-4-born-weighing-just-2lbs-undergone-40-operations-attends-awards-ceremony-disabled-children.html#ixzz3E7xB1noq Image :Doug_Seeburg, The Sun]
