A MUM said she is “watching her baby die” as reaches out for help for her teenage daughter.
Aminah King Ahmed, of Slough, started a GoFundMe page and explained her daughter Noura is suffering “immensely” with her health on a daily basis.
Aminah said on the fundraising page: “She hasn’t even the ability to attend sixth form or leave the house as her condition is so severe.
“She is experiencing frequent disturbances with her bowels, this is usually accompanied by tremendous pains and aches in her stomach, and her lower abdomen has a tendency to swell significantly.”

Aminah added Noura is also experiencing nausea and vomiting along with multiple other disorders including Reynard’s phenomena and anaemia.
She also explained Noura is being looked at for bowel and intestinal issues but has been delayed due to the NHS backlog.
“I’m literally watching my daughter wither away, she is drastically underweight,” she said.
“I can’t take seeing this day to day, I will be carrying my daughter as a pile of bones to her next gastroenterology appointment that’s not due until the 27th June and even then still she will have to wait further for the test to be organised, then comes the waiting list.”
Aminah added she has “begged and pleaded” with the gastro unit to bring the appointment further but has had no luck.

She explained: “Her health is so bad she had open access to the children’s ward but they can only make her feel comfortable with pain medication.
“Please help if I get her seen privately they can then organise the proper investigations.
“I feel like I’m watching my baby die, seeing her in such pain both physically and mentally is breaking my heart, please help my daughter so she can live her life. Thank you.”
