The mum of a seriously ill woman has become sick while supporting her daughter through what she hopes will be life-saving surgery in Spain.
Molly Hartshorn's daughter Melanie suffers from Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). The rare condition causes the 33-year-old's skull to dislocate from her neck and spine.
In October last year, Molly, 71, accompanied Melanie to Barcelona so she could undergo a major operation to fuse her neck and spine, which is not available on the NHS.
