flag Three-year-old Harleigh Tidd from Gateshead, England, is the only known person in the world with a rare combination of lymphangioleiomyomatosis, chylothorax, and skeletal dysplasia, causing her lungs to fill with fluid since before birth. flag Diagnosed at 36 weeks pregnant, she faced a 13% survival chance at birth due to collapsed lungs and a displaced heart. flag Since then, she has undergone 38 surgeries and now lives on end-of-life care with a chest drain, expected to last about 10 weeks. flag Doctors confirm no treatment exists, and her condition is terminal. flag Her mother, Stacie Hammond, is advocating for rare disease awareness while preparing to say goodbye.
