An Australian influencer has given a heartbreaking update on her one-year-old son who was in a coma for 100 hours.
Allanah Harris and her husband Brock are popular The Harris Family TikTok page that documents the lives of her four children for more than a million followers.
Allanah and Brock share one-year-old daughter Daisy, as well as James, seven, Chase, three, and Ellie, two.
Daisy lives with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), a rare genetic disease that causes non-cancerous tumors to grow in the brain and other vital organs.
And on Thursday, Allanah took to Instagram to announce that doctors had to resuscitate little Daisy.
“This is not the update we ever wanted to give,” Allanah said on the social media platform.
‘Our beloved Daisy is now in a critical condition, fighting for her life.
“We will be eternally grateful to all the doctors and nurses for acting quickly and getting his heart beating again,” he added.

From the time Daisy was six months old, she suffered multiple seizures every day before her family discovered the cause was tuberous sclerosis.
Earlier this month, Allanah shared a heartbreaking update on Instagram about her baby, revealing that he had been in a coma for more than 100 hours and doctors were trying to find the cause.
Allanah shared two photos, one of her hand comforting Daisy’s bandaged arm and a portrait of her daughter.
“It’s not the update we always wanted to give,” Allanah said on the social media platform. “Our dear Daisy is now in a critical condition, fighting for her life. We will be forever grateful to all the doctors and nurses for acting quickly and getting her heart beating again,” she added.
“Daisy was a bright and cheerful little girl who recently took an unfortunate turn and has now been put into what appears to be a comatose state for over 100 hours,” Allanah revealed in the lengthy post.
“Unfortunately, there are no medications or stimulants that are safe for Daisy to wake up with. Daisy has been exposed to countless needles and blood tests while she is “asleep” and doesn’t even blink.”
He added that the reasons behind Daisy’s current comatose state remain a mystery.
Daisy, who also suffers from focal cortical dysplasia, epilepsy, infantile spasms and encephalopathy, was first diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in June last year, the same day Allanah’s first child, Lily, who was stillborn, died in 2020.
TO GoFundMe It was created by Brock and Daisy’s grandmother, Karen, to help cover the cost of Daisy’s ongoing treatment and has raised over $40,000.
