A mum who first thought her baby was clumsy now has to support her daughter to walk, eat and bathe herself due to a life-limiting disorder. Nicola Morris, from Moorside, Oldham, first started noticing her little girl Imogen was unsteady on her feet and tumbling over a lot when she was just two years old - but now watches her 'deteriorate every day'.
After years of desperately searching for answers and multiple healthcare appointments, she was eventually handed the news that Imogen, now 15 years old, had an extremely rare genetic disorder that would see her movement and abilities worsen over time and could even see her lose her sight.
As she battles with mothering three children and trying to support the needs of her daughter, whose illness is life-limiting, Nicola is hoping to travel across to the Netherlands to see specialists who are researching potential treatments for children with the disorder. It is a painful experience that sees Nicola watch her own daughter lose her independence day by day.
