A NINE-YEAR-OLD girl is fighting for her life in hospital suffering from swine flu.
Chantelle McAdam, of Chepstow Road, Grange Park, is hooked up to a life support machine at Manchester Royal Infirmary after being admitted with breathing difficulties.
The deadly disease has claimed five lives in the North West in recent days and Chantelle's devastated family are terrified over the youngster's health problems.
Mum Emma Gibson, 28, said her daughter, who suffers from chronic asthma and regularly spends time in hospital, dropped out of consciousness while receiving treatment a week ago.
She added: "The last thing she said to me before they sedated her was 'don't leave me mummy', but I had to go to get my other daughter, I regret that now.
"It has been an absolute rollercoaster, I can't think straight at all, one minute her temperature is soaring and the next minute doctors say she is getting stronger.
