Parents of Scots boy who suffers from rare lung condition admit they 'live in fear' of day they can't resuscitate him

The parents of a toddler who was born with chronic lung disease and brain damage have said they 'live in fear of the day they can't resuscitate him. Laura Wingate and Marcus Dicks, from Inverness, are round-the-clock carers for two-year-old Theodore, who was born at 31 weeks just before the pandemic hit in March 2020.

Theodore is wheelchair-bound, ventilated and tube-fed. Due to his extreme health issues, he was hospitalised until his first birthday and doctors even wrote a medical paper on his condition to help future sufferers as they have not yet been able to pinpoint a diagnosis.
