A six-year-old Disney fan with complex health conditions was left filled with joy after she was invited to a special event for children too ill to travel abroad. <\/p>\n
Ella, from Leicestershire, attended A Disney Wish, organised by Make-A-Wish UK and Disney, where she met princesses, Toy Story characters and watched a Frozen-themed show.<\/p>\n
Her mother Hayley, said the event felt just “like you’re at Disneyland”, and the most special moment was when Ella watched a show based on the film Frozen. <\/p>\n
“Ella was full of smiles,” she said. “It was pure excitement and joy. It melted me. I couldn’t believe how amazing it was.”<\/p>\n
Ella, who has been described as “happy, cheeky and determined” by her family, was diagnosed with a rare congenital heart condition before birth. <\/p>\n
She then had surgery, but suffered complications which meant she spent the next 159 days in intensive care and had to relearn skills including sitting and eating.<\/p>\n
She has since been diagnosed with global developmental delay, non-verbal autism, epilepsy and pica, an eating disorder where a person compulsively consumes non-food items.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A six-year-old Disney fan with complex health conditions was left filled with joy after she was invited to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":789535,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[59,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-789534","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-gb","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/789534","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=789534"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/789534\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/789535"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=789534"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=789534"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=789534"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
