For any regular couple, appearing on The Block would be a daunting task. But for South Australian husband-and-wife team Daniel and Jade, any of the show’s challenges are insignificant after almost losing their daughter Isla to a debilitating and rare illness.
Farmer Daniel, 35, and hairdresser Jade, 34, open up to Woman’s Day about the gut-wrenching morning in 2015 when Jade woke to find their 18-month-old daughter seizing and frothing at the mouth in her bed.
“She was just lying there, white as a ghost, all clammy and frothing at the mouth,” Jade reveals. “I screamed at the top of my lungs.”
Adds Daniel, “I thought she was gone. I didn’t think there was any life in her.”
After having to leave their two sons, Lincoln and Hayden, six and four respectively at the time, at home, the couple embarked on a terrifying 15-minute journey to the hospital in Port Pirie. During that ride, Isla started to turn blue.
