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
