A RARE condition would have killed little Ollie Sharp had it not been for quick-thinking hospital staff, his parents said yesterday.

The 18-month-old toddler went from a cough to complete paralysis in just three days, but will make a full recovery thanks to the high standard of care he received.

‘If it wasn’t for our doctor and the staff at the hospital he would not be here. They were quick to act and so efficient. They played their part in saving his life and we’re just so thankful to them and everyone else who helped,’ said mum Lisa, a trust manager at Praxis, whose husband, Chris, is a maintenance engineer.
