She was only 11 months old.
According to doctors, she had heavy brain damage and internal bleeding.

A pipe was put in to drain the blood and make space for the swelling to go down.
The lung dialysis had to be taken off for this procedure.
All went well and she was stable but very critical.
Baby Olivia’s mom, Ms Amy-Leigh Swanepoel said she had the blessing to hold her baby for the first time and 11 weeks and for the last time before they had to say goodbye to the little one who has been fighting since she was admitted to the hospital.
