When Craig and Jodie Basnett from Oldham welcomed their baby girl Xanthie nicknamed 'The Warrior Princess' into the world they quickly realised something was dreadfully wrong.
The couple's tiny daughter had a stroke in the womb before she was born – meaning she had to have brain surgery at three-days-old. Since then she has had several major surgeries, with potentially more needed in the future.
Jodie and Craig, who are also parents to eight-year-old Mason, say the pregnancy was completely normal. But when Jodie, 30, went into labour, Xanthie was stuck in the birth canal for longer than expected.
