Alicia has undergone her 5th Iron Infusion today at King's College Hospital (20/09/2016). Despite numerous doctors visits, check ups, clinics, scans, blood tests, procedures, Blood Transfusions the NHS hasn't got any answers as to what is causing her problems over the last 18 months.

Enough is enough!

We are trying to raise £1,000 to fund private medical attention/investigation, to get answers, to get a diagnosis, to understand and to get any treatment underway.

In her 30 months of life she's gone through enough.

Little Alicia's eye are puffy, she's tired all the time, grumpy because she's tired but wants to be a typical 2 year old. Her siblings are suffering - being up earlier for school to be child-minded and taken to school so Alicia can be taken to appointments. Canula's are normally successful 2nd time around which stresses her out even more. But have Been known to take up to around 5 attempts to get a cannula in.

Her parents are suffering because of the lack of answers, dealing with the unknown, trying to manage 2 able children and judging jobs as normally as they can.

The NHS staff have been good but the Consultants have been less so. But as time's going on, her condition is getting worse and they still have no idea what's causing it (let alone understand how to treat it).

Private consultation can help speed up the process but this comes at a cost. Whilst private consultations is being sought, a typical scan is £180+. It's probably not going to be just one scan, one blood test etc and the bills will accrue, hence the target set.

Updates will be given with news as it becomes available.

Please help us to get a diagnosis and start any treatment as soon as possible. We can't go another 18 months with Alicia suffering.

Thanks,

Donna - on behalf of Zoe and Ross Hunter - Alicia's parents xxx
