The father of a terminally ill British toddler says he is keeping his child alive by giving him mouth-to-mouth after doctors took him off life support.
Alfie, 23-months-old, is in a "semi-vegetative state" as a result of a degenerative neurological condition doctors have been unable to identify.
He was taken off life support after a series of court rulings backed doctors who said further treatment was futile.
The family had hoped to take him to Italy for treatment but a court ruling has seen their hopes dashed.
Tom Evans told The Sun he and Alfie's mum Kate have been forced to help Alfie's breathing with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation after "his lips turned blue".
He was taken off life support after a series of court rulings backed doctors who said further treatment was futile.
Addressing media outside Alder Hey hospital in Liverpool today, Alfie's heartbroken father Tom said: "We were doing what a nurse should have been doing to sustain his life.
"Now they are saying that he looks really good but we all know he should be in Italy right now."
The family have vowed to fight on for their son's cause.
