The parents of a sick baby who had been stuck in Thailand have spoken of their "relief" to be back in the UK.

After months of being unable to leave their home in Thailand due to their child's poor health, the family have made the long transfer to a UK hospital.

Five-month-old Finley Phillips was born with a chromosomal disorder which has left him with holes in his heart.

A duplication of chromosome 14 has resulted in him being diagnosed with a number of significant abnormalities, including Craniosynostosis (early skull fusion), two holes in his heart; severe hearing loss; club feet and hands and an inability to gain weight.

This means Finley will have severe developmental delays and an ongoing lifelong disorder.

Finely's parents Nick Phillips, from Bridport and Abby Kay from Surrey had been living in Thailand for five years after fulfilling a lifelong dream to live abroad.

They were able to fly home to the UK thanks to a fundraising page which has raised over £45,000.

Now relocated to a hospital in Ipswich, the family are waiting for Finley to be transferred to a hospital which will be able to give him the best treatment.

Abby said: "The flight was good, Finley slept through most of it, the only one of us who did.

"The relief we felt once the NHS took over was immense.

"Just small things like being able to understand communication between doctors and nurses.

"The team here are carrying out a lot of their own tests and we have a brilliant doctor who is coordinating all of Finley’s care.

"The nurses are particularly caring despite being clearly very busy."

Nick and Abby are now staying with family who live locally whilst Finley is staying in Ipswich Hospital.

Abby said: "We were so sad to leave Thailand, especially in such a hurry.

"We’ve got friends there who have become family and I was disappointed to leave my job.

"But we’re very glad to be back with family and Finley is stable for now.

"We are getting used to living in the UK again, it’s freezing."
