A DAD fears his daughter may never walk again after her cold turned into a rare illness

By a staff reporter: Jafer Mammoo believes doctors played “Russian roulette” with his two-year-old Verity Willmott-Mammo, who he struggled to get a diagnosis for.He said: “They kept treating us like we were hysterical parents. "She was a fully able-bodied, energetic child, and now it could be she might not be able to walk. "When Verity first fell ill she looked like she had a “general bug”, Jafer said. But he and Verity's mum, Danielle Willmott, grew concerned when her condition worsened and she was struggling to stay awake. Jafer told Berkshire Live: "We took her to our GP, who said she had tonsillitis and gave her antibiotics. She didn't get any better and we took her to A&E."Jafer claims the doctors focused on her hip and suggested there was inflammation in her joints. But, as Verity’s condition progressed over time, the father pushed for more tests to work out if there was a neurological problem causing her mobility problems. He said it got to the stage where "my daughter could hardly use her arms”.
