The brave youngster, who has undergone five operations in the 15 months since he was born, has also been promised a belated Christmas gift after members of Ely's Outlaws Wild Western Club saw his story in The Ely Standard.

The family had hoped he would be able to stay home but they were unable to lay wood block flooring in their lounge to make the house dust-free for Lewis.
He was taken back to the hospital and sadly developed bronchilitis making it necessary for him to be transferred to London's Great Ormond Street Hospital and put on a ventilator to help his breathing.
His mum, Julie, 36, said: "Lewis is stable now and his heart hasn't got any worse.
"It was lovely to have him home for Christmas. The children were so excited. It was brilliant for them.
