The parents of a severely disabled Newport toddler face an anxious wait after applying for their son to have a major operation to help him eat.
Casey Hard, 20 months, who was born with severe epilepsy, cerebral palsy and spastic quadriplegia faces at least a six month wait to be seen by doctors in Wales.
His parents Anthony and Nahella Hard, who live in Coedkernew, have been fundraising for specialist equipment for the youngster since Christmas.
Casey suffers from painful spasms and seizures and recently began choking on his food, which until now he has been able to take orally.
