Eadie has spent her entire life in intensive care after suffering a life-threatening condition and now doctors are sending the two-month-old home in time to spend Easter with her family.

Her mother Tahlia was told that Eadie only had a 50 per cent survival rate and would be sent to hospital as soon as she was born.

Just when Tahlia thought nothing could get any worse, she was told Eadie had a hole in her diaphragm and required life-saving surgery when she was just two-weeks-old.

Since she was born Tahlia has spent every day with Eadie and is grateful for the services and facilities that ensure the looking after of kids. 

‘It’s our first child and you don’t expect to be here,’ Yahoo 7 reported.

A few days ago Eadie reached a huge milestone by breathing on her own. 

Doctors hope she will be strong enough to spend Easter with her family at home.  

Tahlia thanked the doctors and nurses for their expertise and care, saying without them she wouldn’t have Eadie with her today. 

‘She’s a fighter and I think she is very, very strong,’ Tahlia said. 

''It's our first child and you don't expect to be here. She's a fighter and I think she is very, very strong,' Tahlia said
