The parents of a little girl thought that she was poorly with the flu. Kyra had a temperature, a cough, and was having difficulty eating just days after Christmas.
But one morning after waking up complaining of a sore back, her parents Kirsten and Josiah, from Gorton, took her into hospital to be checked over by a doctor. They could never have predicted the devastating diagnosis that was to follow.
Smiley little Kyra, who is just four-years-old, was initially assessed on January 2, before being immediately rushed to be treated by specialists after her oxygen saturation levels plummeted.
