Little Nottinghamshire toddler Teddy is waiting for 'high risk' surgery to fix his lungs and heart

Little Teddy Brimble-Coupe's smile never fails to shine through on photos - even though he has faced a tough medical battle since birth. Born on November 20, 2021, he has spent much of his short life in hospital.
