11-year-old given six months to live travels to Britain
Jamie Murphy, who weighs just 35 pounds, will meet with a consultant to see if he can perform the life-saving surgery she needs.
Jamie has spina bifida and scoliosis and her condition is deteriorating so quickly that doctors have given her just six months to live. She requires spinal fusion surgery to correct the severe spinal curvature that is compromising her heart, lungs and kidneys, and is on a priority waiting list at Our Lady's Hospital, Crumlin, but it is unlikely she will make it into surgery in time.
