A couple from England are battling every day to keep their daughter alive after she was born with a rare genetic condition that has severely compromised her breathing. Following genetic testing, doctors have confirmed that the toddler has a mutation that has never been documented before anywhere in the world.

Three-year-old Isla, from Leicester, is a little fighter who is full of life despite being a “medically fragile child”; the baby girl is braving through the rare genetic disorder that has left her with abnormal bone development, premature aging, and slow growth. Talking to The Epoch Times, dad Kyle recalled the moment when a specialist informed them how Isla is “the only one in the world” who has got the medical condition.
