ICE BABY ELLA

When Rachel Claxton gave birth to daughter Ella, she was only 3cm dilated and her placenta had ruptured causing her newborn to die in the moments before she was born.  But little Ella, now nine months old, still faced another battle as her brain had been starved of oxygen for so long.  In a last ditch attempt to preserve her quality of life, her parents signed her up for an experimental FREEZING treatment which saw her placed in a hypothermic state for 48 hours.
