Amelia's fight to recover!

Like many of us this winter, Amelia recently came down with Influenza A. But as the days went on, her symptoms worsened, and Amelia was admitted to Grafton Base Hospital. She was treated with antibiotics and placed on a ventilator for pneumonia.

The hope was that a few days of care in ICU and she would recover and soon return home.

However shortly after, Amelia's condition worsened, with the collapse of her left lung. She was urgently transferred to Tweed Valley Hospital, and within hours, her right lung collapsed as well.

The doctors told her family that her condition was now so critical, they didn't expect she would survive the short flight from Tweed to the Gold Coast University Hospital.

But Amelia, stubborn as ever, fought through and survived the flight.

Once at Gold Coast University Hospital, doctors discovered a bacterial superinfection was aggressively attacking her lungs.

Amelia was placed on life support, where she currently remains in a medically induced coma, fighting with everything she’s got.

This GoFundMe has been set up to help Amelia, as well as her daughter Lilly and partner Josh as they remain by her side. Any support would mean the world to them so they can focus on being there for Amelia.
