For the first five years of my life, the doctors had no idea what was wrong with me.
My lungs collapsed when I was only 24 hours old and spent 2 weeks in neonatal intensive care.
After a very normal delivery at the Elliston Hospital in SA, Casey’s lungs collapsed day one.
Bill was born in late November 2014. Five hours after his birth we became concerned something was not right.

After a bad episode when I was 11, I ended in the Emergency Department at the Royal Children’s Hospital.
