Sadie has a rare condition which affects how her nervous system controls her breathing.
Sadie breathes via a tube which comes out of a hole in her neck and which is linked to a ventilatorParents of a girl with a rare breathing condition which means she could die when asleep have fundraised for life-changing surgery.Her parents, from Birmingham, said a battery-powered system put in her chest will help stimulate breathing."She has to be watched 24/7," Sadie's mother Star said.
Sadie cannot breathe on her own when asleep and so she relies on a ventilator, breathing via a tube through a hole in her neck. The machine only has eight hours of battery life. The phrenic nerve pacer Sadie's parents have fundraised for works a little like a cardiac pace maker as it will tell the diaphragm when to move and breathe, her father Andrew said."Every time our beautiful daughter falls asleep she might die," Star said.
The family have currently raised £33,000 our of £39,000 needed and surgery, which was supposed to be last month, has been delayed until 19 April due to complications with her cardiac pacemaker. The money raised is not only to help pay for the surgery, but for accommodation near her hospital, as the family mainly now live in Dubai and rent their house in Birmingham out.
