MAKEOVER
FOR FAMILY
A two-year-old suffering from a rare immune disorder which stops
his body from fighting infection had a wonderful surprise, thanks
to staff at Llanelli-based construction company Morganstone.
Macsen Oatway spent
Christmas in a sterile
bubble at a hospital in
Newcastle and while
he was away, Morganstone staff along with
help from numerous local builders and handymen redecorated and
renovated the family
home in Neath.
Macsen suffers from LAD1
or Leukocyte adhesion deficiency, a life threatening
disorder that sees the sufferer plagued with continual bacterial or fungal soft
tissue infections.
Before his diagnosis, the
Oatway family was planning on redecorating the
family home, but due to
constant fear of infection
it made any form of work
impossible.
Macsen and his family
had to travel to a specialist
facility in Newcastle for a
life changing bone marrow
transplant and chemotherapy. The treatment was a
success. Before he returned
home, Morganstone and
a number of volunteers
helped to carry out all the
work that his parents had
wanted to complete before
he became ill.
The work included: fitting
a bath upstairs as Macsen
has to have a bath daily,
decorating and creating a
space for him to play as
during his recovery he is
not allowed to interact with
other children, and installing a downstairs toilet and
utility space. All were built
and fitted so rooms could
be easily cleaned to limit
the risk of infection during
his recovery.

Chris Weaver, project manager for Morganstone, said:
“Macsen’s grandfather
works for us at Morganstone
and when we heard about
him we really wanted to
help. Hopefully now Macsen
will be able to fully recover
in a space that his family
have wanted to create for a
while.
“We had a
very short amount
of time to complete
this project, but we have
been so overwhelmed by
the number of businesses
that have offered to help
or donate items for little
Macsen.
“We would like to thank
Exclusive Flooring, NTJ
Plasterers,
Plumbing Trade
Supplies, Electrical
Wholesale Supplies, Leon
Davies Plumbing, M&N
Decorators, Benchmark
Kitchens, B&Q Bridgend,
Creative Casting Wales, and
G. Davies Skips for their
invaluable support to complete this amazing project.”
