Overview
- Grace, who was days from her second birthday, began gagging and collapsed while playing with her sister in the family’s Winchburgh garden Saturday.
- Her parents performed CPR before paramedics arrived, and the family say no blockage was seen in her airway.
- The cause is still unresolved with a post-mortem scheduled for May 16 that may not provide an answer, according to the family.
- Grace had lifelong swallowing difficulties and used a feeding tube, and doctors had suspected a rare throat condition called glossopharyngeal palsy.
- The family shared a final photo taken shortly before she fell ill, and friends have launched a fundraiser to support them.
