A TOT who was born with life-threatening complications is facing dialysis and needs a kidney transplant.

Little Jack Rafferty is just 11 months old, but his parents Nicole Higgins and Scott Rafferty have been warned he could need dialysis because his kidneys are so bad and could deteriorate.

Jack was born at 35 weeks by emergency Caesarean section after Nicole started to bleed.

When he was born, Jack was bleeding too and had to have a blood transfusion before being whisked off to the special care baby unit at Barnsley Hospital.
