This Christmas will likely be the very last for 7-year-old Addy, a young girl from England who suffers from the rare Batten Disease and has started to forget how to walk, talk, and eat.
According to the Daily Mirror, the condition – also known as childhood dementia – is so rare that only five children in the UK are diagnosed with every year. One of those, sadly, is Addy.
Now, her loving family are being forced to watch their daughter fade away before their eyes, and they fear that this Christmas will be the last one they get to spend with her.
