Stricken Archie Battersbee ’s family spoke of their glee after they were given the green-light to challenge a ruling that medics could turn off his life support.
The schoolboy, 12, has clung to life in a coma for more than 10 weeks after he was found with a ligature over his head during a social media dare.
A High Court judge last week ruled Archie stood no chance of making a full recovery and said doctors could legally withdraw life support.
