An Edinburgh dad has spoken of the moment he and his wife thought they were going to lose their 14-month-old daughter after a terrifying Meningitis diagnosis.
Andrew Vipond and his wife Moyra feared the worst for their little daughter Emily after she was admitted to hospital and remained under the care of doctors for a month shortly after turning one in 2012.
Five years on, a sense of Deja Vu hit Andrew and Moyra when Emily started to experience hearing loss. After several thorough examinations by neurological doctors, a mass was discovered on Emily's brain and she underwent a procedure to avoid any further repurcussions.
