A two-year-old boy who is being treated in hospital in Portugal is unable to return to Wales for medical help.

They are now concerned his condition will deteriorate and he will never be able to travel home.
AXA Partners insurance company has been asked to comment.
Theo became unwell on 13 September, during A Family holiday to Portugal, and was taken To Faro Hospital by ambulance Two Days later.
His parents were initially told he had a stomach flu, but an MRI scan revealed he had a problem with his cerebellum, a part of The Brain .

She Said their insurance company said Theo was a priority case, but had failed to update The Family since receiving a medical report on Tuesday.
