Parents say they feel like their hearts have been 'stamped on' after their 'amazing' son sadly passed away. Taylor-James Tranter was rushed to hospital on Monday, December 19, by his dad Stuart Tranter, after his mum Vikki noticed that TJ was struggling to breath and his lips were blue.
The 13-year-old, of Spondon, who has Down's syndrome and autism and suffered from sleep apnea, a chest infection and heart problems, sadly passed away 26 days later on Saturday, January 14, whilst he was in intensive care at the Queen's Medical Centre. His parents have told Derbyshire Live that they are "gutted" but intend to carry on and live life to the fullest to make their son proud.
Mr Tranter, 42, said: "I feel like someone has stamped on my heart, it’s just awful. Life will be different, he was an amazing boy and loved by everyone but his disabilities needed 24-hour care. Everything was always built around him, and we did things that both we and TJ enjoyed.
