A toddler born with all his internal organs on the opposite side of his body has defied the odds to go home for the first time - one year after doctors declared him clinically dead.
Kian Hill, nicknamed 'mirror boy' by his family, was born with situs inversus totalis, which means his internal organs developed on the wrong side of his body.
Day visit: Kian with his mother Natalie on a short trip to his home. He will be discharged from hospital in time for his second birthday next month
The condition, which affects around one in 10,000 people in the UK, usually means patients need 24-hour care and spend their lives in hospital.
Doctors gave Kian a 50 per cent chance of survival and last year he was even declared clinically dead for 30 minutes after suffering two cardiac arrests.
He also underwent a risky operation to double the width of his windpipe.
But Kian will be discharged from hospital for the first time on Friday in time for his secon

The Queen made a glamorous dash to Hampton Court Palace today after almost missing the opening of her inaugural literary festival.
Camilla was held up by traffic on the motorway and missed a star-studded reception to mark the first Queen's Reading Room Festival.
Fortunately her understudy - the King - stepped into the breach and stood in for her greeting luminaries including Sir Derek Jacobi, Richard E Grant and Dame Joanna Lumley.
But her official car arrived just in time to be greeted by the star turn of the evening's proceeding, Dame Judi Dench - who was speaking about her life-long passion for Shakespeare- along with Dame Joanna and host Gyles Brandreth.
'Everything was shut,' the Queen - who looked stylish in a flowing blue jumpsuit by Anna Valentine - told Dame Joanna.
