"miracle baby" when he was born last year. He was 17 weeks early and

:01:22.:01:24.

weighed just one pound, eight ounces. His mum, Tracey, was close

:01:25.:01:27.

to death and Lucas was left fighting for life. Today, more than 000

family and friends celebratdd his first birthday.

A huge party at Cardinal Hednan High School. Mickey and Minnie ldd the

fun. But the star of the show was one`year`old Lucas. No words can

:01:45.:01:52.

describe how I feel about hhm. I wouldn't swap him for absolttely

:01:53.:01:58.

anything. At birth, Lucas wdighed less than a bag of sugar. Hhs mum

brother. He has got his own personality, he knows what he wants,

especially when he is angry. He will throw a tantrum that he is ` very

:02:18.:02:21.

clever boy. Also on the guest list, staff from Liverpool Women's

Hospital. This thing rarely happens that we get to go to the first

birthday of a baby that was born as early as he was. We see so lany

:02:31.:02:35.

babies leaving and never he`r from them again and this is fant`stic. My

:02:36.:02:44.

wish for him is to be a heart surgeon. Without a heart surgeon he

:02:45.:02:47.

would not be here now. I wotld like him to repay that one. Mark
