Scots schoolgirl's Christmas wish is to be at home after spending childhood in hospital

A Scots schoolgirl suffering from two rare conditions said her only wish this year is to not spend Christmas in hospital.

Lucy Stewart, from Elgin, is prone to becoming ill during winter and has been admitted to hospital every festive period since she was born.

The 12-year-old was diagnosed with Tracheo-Oesophageal Fistula and Oesophageal Atresia at birth, conditions of the oesophagus and trachea. The conditions mean Lucy's food pipe doesn’t work and she has difficulties swallowing as food cannot pass from her throat to her stomach.
