The parents of a toddler who is waiting for "high risk" surgery to fix his lungs and his heart say he has now been struck down with flu. Teddy Brimble-Coupe needs to be symptomatic free before he has more medical investigations, including a live CT scan, and then heart surgery.
Parents Jamie Brimble, of Mansfield Woodhouse, and Adele Coupe, 23, of Kirkby-in-Ashfield, are grateful they have now been given hospital accommodation to be with Teddy at Leicester's Children’s Hospital (based at Leicester Royal Infirmary).
Mr Brimble, who spent his first night in hospital accommodation last night (Tuesday, May 3) told Nottinghamshire Live his son is trapped in the hospital "24-7" as he waits for his surgery. He said: "By the time the doctors do one thing, he gets something else. He has to be symptomatic free".
