Quickly.
That little cough that Ella had turned into these terrible coughing fits that seemed to come out of nowhere.
Sometimes she'd cough so hard that she couldn't breathe.
And because oxygen wasn't getting into her brain, sometimes she'd have a seizure and even pass out.
28 times?
So she had hundreds of attacks.
And the scariest part of this was that Rosamund didn't know why any of this was happening.
How did her kid go from being perfectly healthy to being in the ICU in just a couple of months?
Ella would go to some of the best doctors in London, many different hospitals, and yet no-one could tell them what was going on.
After the break, the story of Ella's medical mystery...
and how it made the invisible visible.
Welcome back.
Where we left off, Ella, who had been this really healthy little kid, was now in and out of hospital, and her mum was desperate to figure out what was making her sick.
What did doctors tell you, you know, when you were going into hospital?
Doctors were confused because her symptoms were kind of all over the place.
Like Ella's lungs were producing way too much mucus, which made it harder and harder for her to breathe.
And that kind of thing can happen in people with cystic fibrosis.
So they tested her for that, but it came back negative.
Doctors also tested her for epilepsy because of the seizures, but that didn't pan out either.
After tons of blood tests, EEGs and doctor's appointments, Ella finally got a diagnosis.
