Sofias life changing ENT surgery

Hi my name is Danielle, I am fundraising for my little girl Sofia. Sofia has been a very poorly little girl from the moment she was born. We have had no answers until Saturday 17th December we did a lot of research and we found a private specialist, we paid £250 to have a consultation as our daughter has been in and out of hospital all her life, constantly in pain and poorly, it has massively affected her life and all of ours, she has missed out on so much and has developmental delay, I Have been pushing and trying to escalate her referrals with the NHS but we have got no where. Sofia has glue ear in both ears and has hearing loss due to this, she gets ear infections every month and is on antibiotics every 6 weeks, she is in agony every month gets frequent illnesses due to this, she needs to have a operation and sadly due to the strain on the NHS we have no option but to go private, she also needs to have her enlarged tonsils out and a hearing test which they have to do under general anaesthetic to see if she is getting any sounds to her brain. 

Sofia is also being started on a low dose daily antibiotics to help keep her little body strong and not get so many infections which her little body at the moment is having to do that every month. 

Friday was the final straw for us, I was driving her to Birmingham childrens hospital and she had a febrile convulsion while I was on the motorway, her little body could not handle her temperature,  I had to take a emergency exit off the motorway and a first response ambulance from Birmingham childrens hospital was there in 5 minutes for my little baby. 

This surgery is going to cost us £4600 we unfortunately don’t have that sort of money and the specialist has said she can have her surgery in January as he understands what Sofia is going through. Sofia is non verbal, our baby has been through enough and we want to do anything we can to make her life better, want her to not be scared of hospitals, she has a terrible fear of them due to the amount of times she is in there. Any tiny small donation would be massively appreciated Thank you for reading lots of love Dani xxxxxx

The cost of surgery is £4600 this will be for 

3480 Adenotonsillectomy + D1510 Grommets insertion, hearing test while under general anaesthetic.
