Title
Sophie Patmore - Mitochondrial Disease - Long Term Ventilation - Tracheostomy
Description
Excerpted from the website description:
- Sophie Patmore suffers from mitochondrial disease - a rare genetic disease that has made her muscles extremely weak. Because of this she has global hypotonia, a tracheostomy and is permanently connected to a ventilator to help her breathe. She cannot swallow and therefore is fed through a tube directly into her tummy and at twelve months of age she cannot sit or hold her head up.
