MIRACLE baby, Bella Moore-Williams stunned medics by coming back to life 20 MINUTES after her life-support machine was switched off.

Tiny Bella was just 18 months old when an undiagnosed genetic condition caused her to fall dangerously ill.


Five months ago she was fighting for her life in Colchester hospital after getting sick on a family holiday.

Bella’s mum, Francesca told of how

She said: “We arrived at about 10 o'clock in the morning, by lunchtime her legs were depressed, so they were doing a test on her legs and her legs weren't moving and then she was slipping in and out of consciousness throughout that afternoon."


On the evening of the July 13 poorly Bella was rushed to Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge where she was placed in intensive care.

Doctors believed she may have Biotinidase deficiency, a condition that affects just one in every 60,000 children which prevents them absorbing vital nutrients.

After one week medics made the heart-wrenching decision to switch of Bella’s life support machine.


Francesca said: “My whole world had ended, you know, I thought that she was never gonna survive.

“You just lead by what the doctors think and every doctor in Addenbrooke's hospital was telling us we need to say our goodbyes.

“They offered us the hand and foot prints, the christening by her bedside.

“But it was just a private moment between me, Lee and Bella.”


But astonishingly 20 minutes after the life support was removed battling Bella started screaming out as she began to respond to the treatment.

Her dad, Lee revealed the miraculous moment his daughter came back to life: “We were holding her hand and her last breath and all of a sudden, she perks up and she's told everyone she's not ready to go basically and yeah, very surreal to be fair.”

Now the delighted family are looking forward to a family Christmas together with Bella and her five-year-old brother Bobby.

“We've got all the family coming over, like we always do, we host it here and we can't wait.”
