A baby born with a collapsed lung and chronic kidney disease is defying the odds. Doctors gave Aaliyah Evans just a 20 per cent chance of survival.
Three weeks before she gave birth on April 29, 2022, mum Siobhan Sharrock was told that her baby had chronic kidney disease. The long-term condition means the kidneys do not work as well as they should.
Aaliyah was born with a collapsed lung and the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck, resulting in a bleed on the brain. She later had a bloodline inserted for haemodialysis.
