Little Isabella Stark (1) of Ermelo, desperately needs the community’s help
ERMELO – Little Isabella Stark’s (1) first birthday now seems but a distant memory as she fights for her life in the Ermelo Provincial Hospital.
She was admitted to hospital early this morning after choking.
According to her mother, Ms Monica Stark, Isabella had food in her mouth and fell.
When she began crying she inhaled the food, which then got stuck in her lungs.
The family carried out cardiopulmonary resuscitation and rushed her to hospital where she was put on a ventilator.
She is currently in a critical condition and the food is still lodged in one of her lungs.
According to information received, Isabella needs specialised care, but there aren’t currently any beds available at any of the government hospitals who provide this care.
The family have tried Steve Biko and numerous others, but to no avail.
The family stated that the only option left, was to have her transferred to a private hospital, but they do not have a medical aid or the financial capability to do so.
They are pleading with the community to please pray for Isabella.
