BIOGRAPHY

Sarah was born at 31 weeks weighing 735 grams.

She had her first major surgery at 6 days old and it was discovered that she had been born without a pancreas.

She was given 6 weeks to live as her bile ducts were malformed and her liver was failing.

She defied the odds and left hospital at 5 months of age.

As a result of not having a pancreas she is unable to digest foods and is an insulin dependent Diabetic and will require a liver transplant at some stage.

Here is a small article on her that was in the Herald Sun last year
