Isabel was born extremely premature at 25 weeks weighing only 830g. Throughout Isabel's 5 and a half month stay in the neonatal intensive care unit she was ventilated, had 3 laparotomy operations to remove her dead small intestine caused by NEC. She also caught Septicaemia at the same time and was on full life support, she had steroids and had seizures.

The family were told many times that she wouldn't have any quality of life and to turn the machines off, but they refused to give up on her. Isabel is a true fighter, but from everything that she’s been through, sadly she is now severely disabled.

Isabel has been diagnosed with…
Microcephaly
Necrotising Enterocolitis
Short bowel syndrome
Cerebral Palsy
Cystic Periventricular Leukomalacia
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
Grade 2 Retinopathy of Prematurely
Continuous pump fed
Unsafe swallow
Also, over half her brain has been damaged and is now gone.

Isabel has had 3 operations so far and has to have another major operation this year (2017) to place Gastrostomy then Gastrojejunostomy extension tube. She will be peg fed continuously through out the day and night.

The family urgently need to raise funds for specialist and sensory equipment for Isabel, like special seating, sensory toys, go to seat, a specialist car seat, bath and splints. And the list will keep going as she grows.

Please help Isabel and her family by donating today, every little bit helps them.
