Sophia Marshall's mother tells Sky News it is 'unbearable' to think she could potentially lose her daughter to coronavirus.
Fortunately Sophia is too young to understand the danger.
The family are supported by Acorns Children's Hospice which has three hospices in the West Midlands providing respite for families and support for children with life-limiting illnesses.But Sophia and her family cannot risk going to the hospice and have even been advised to cancel home visits from nurses, who carry out regular check-ups on Sophia in case they are unknowingly carrying the virus.
All the teddies and toys for the children have been put away as they prepare for the arrival of patients of all ages."It could be for adult patients but we really don't know. It's about being flexible and open to what is needed by the wider health economy," said the hospice's director of care, Emma Aspinall.
