I am so very sorry the little one has to go through this. It's true others have it worse, but this is happening to her. We want to protect our little ones from everything, and yet we can't.

If there is anything to be gained from this (besides important information), it is that she will be toughened for challenges ahead.

My dear brother just passes away at 81. He was so sick at her age. He spent at least a year in the hospital and a couple of more years as an invalid. I always felt terrible about that. It was a tragedy for me. But when he grew up, he was the strongest person. He took on all challenges without fear. It seemed hardship made him stronger. When he died he had seven grandchildren, a successful business, and stature in his community.

Good luck. My wishes and thoughts are with the little one.
