He was changing his daughter’s diapers one day last year, when he found bloodstains.

Shocked, Mr Kong Kok Keong and his Thai wife immediately took their daughter to the hospital, where scans revealed that she has three kidneys.

At her tender age, she has been through five operations, including one where two titanium rods were inserted into her body to support her back.
