NORTH-East liver transplant baby Lennox Nicholson is making progress in his fight to overcome a chest infection.
The five-month-old, of Oak Road, Guisborough, east Cleveland, has been receiving antibiotics and oxygen after developing bronchiolitis, which is common in babies under one-year-old.
The infection causes the small airways of the lungs to swell and fill with mucus.
But a close friend of the baby's parents, Simon Nicholson, 21, and 20-year-old Amy Robinson, said Lennox was making good progress in The James Cook University Hospital, Middlesbrough.
The family friend said: "Doctors say he is over the worst now and on the mend."
Lennox's life- saving transplant operation was carried out at Leeds St James Hospital on December 13.
