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.
Despite his brilliant care, his father, Jamie Brimble, of Mansfield Woodhouse, says they have been waiting weeks for him to be transferred to Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London for "high risk" surgery to fix his lungs and his heart.
After birth, Teddy now aged 16 months, could not drink from a baby bottle, as he did not know how to suck, and he was fed from a cup. Doctors decided to help him and inserted a tube up his nose and into his tummy.
