Archie Battersbee's mother Hollie Dance says there are two countries that have offered to treat her son following his parents' last-minute bid to the European Court of Human Rights this morning. Archie's treatment had been due to be withdrawn from 11am today after a series of court appeals failed.
However, after Ms Dance and Archie's dad, Paul, met a 9am deadline to submit an application to the European Court, the hospital treating him said there would be "no changes to Archie's care until the outstanding legal issues are resolved". Ms Dance said they were now waiting for the European Court of Human Rights to get back to them.
Speaking outside the hospital, she said: "I am hoping that they will step in and give Archie a right to live. I think that he deserves that."
