The parents of a young girl born with a hip condition fear she will spend her entire childhood in a wheelchair after they said vital surgery was repeatedly delayed by the NHS 😔
The parents of a young girl born with a hip condition fear she will spend her entire childhood in a wheelchair after they said vital surgery was repeatedly delayed.
With the clock ticking, the worried parents are now desperately trying to get answers from bosses at Royal Blackburn Hospital while also trying to see if another hospital can perform the operation. According to Kayah, Lilly is left crying in pain if she even tries to crawl due to the pain it causes her.Lilly was born with developmental dysplasia of the hip , a condition where the "ball and socket" joint of the hip does not properly form in babies and young children.
"When she was was born, they already sort of knew she was going to have this problem because it goes through genetics and I had it as a baby. We waited until she was about three months and that's when she ended up at Blackburn Hospital. They did an X-ray and said she's definitely got it," Kayah told LancsLive.
When his replacement assessed Lilly, he decided she needed a much larger procedure and this was due to take place in May. However, the family say they were then told there had been a mix up and it was actually a different patient who had been booked in and that they were mistakenly informed.
