Mum looking for Elsa to make daughter's birthday magical after emergency brain surgery

A mum whose daughter has had to undergo emergency brain surgery is looking for an Elsa to make her fifth birthday party memorable. Holly Seymour says having the Frozen princess at Violet's party “would make her year”.

Last month Violet, from Poole, was taken to hospital where she underwent two surgical procedures which prevented her from celebrating her fifth birthday. Violet suffers from Chiari malformation, a brain condition where the lower part of the brain pushes down into the spinal canal.

Mum of six Holly rushed Violet to hospital after her daughter started experiencing neurological symptoms and she underwent decompression surgery and nephrostomy surgery. The stitches from the surgery have since come open and Holly is waiting for news on where Violet will be treated.
