For Rachael and Leigh Badman,there is only one wish on their Christmas list this year-that their sick daughter survives until December 25.
Fifteen—year—old Paige suffers from a rare brain condition.The disease affects as few as l2 people in the world,and can kill her any day without warning. And her condition has deteriorated in recent months.Each time she closes her eyes,she may never wake up.Rachael and Leigh Badman are worried that she couldn’t live through Christmas.They filled their house with Christmas decorations on November 1,so she could enjoy her favorite day of the year in advance.
Paige was diagnosed with the condition four years ago.Mrs.Badman described the
condition as“being on death row”as she never knows if she will wake up and still have a daughter. She said,“Paige always loves Christmas and it's heartbreaking to see her suffering like this.”
