An Australian mother has revealed her seven-week-old daughter Lucky had a seemingly innocent cough before she ended up in hospital fighting for life after catching a severe bacterial infection in Bali.
Honey Ahimsa was in tears as she opened up about Lucky's urgent need to return to Australia to receive life-saving treatment, with her current hospital bills costing the family $8,000 a day.
Lucky was rushed to hospital in the early hours of Wednesday morning after she went into respiratory distress and was left gasping for air.
She was placed on a ventilator to help her breathe after the bacterial infection took a serious toll on her lungs.
Ms Ahimsa said her baby's first symptom was a cough, which she thought may have just been a common cold.
'I just tried to give her a lot of sleep, and that night she got worse,' the distraught mother told Sunrise on Friday morning.

'The next day she wouldn't take my milk, her eyes started rolling back. I took her clothes off and I looked at her lungs and you could see them struggling.
'On the way to emergency she started to go really cold and she closed her eyes and I thought I lost her in that moment because she was so cold.'
Doctors told Ms Ahimsa and her fiance Pan their baby girl may not make it and has a 50 per cent chance of survival at best.
The hospital she is currently in doesn't have the right medical equipment or specialists to treat little Lucky.
Flying Lucky from Bali to Singapore on an air ambulance would cost her parents a staggering $90,000 while the frantic dash to Perth will set them back $65,000.
'I wish that I could just teleport her home to Australia and that she could just be in the best hospital,' Ms Ahimsa said.
'And they had all the medicine she needs and https://luckky88.beauty/ they could do the tests she needs so they could find out what she needs. I'm sorry I haven't slept in days.'

Lucky needs to be stable before she can fly to Australia and will remain in hospital until she is no longer in a critical condition.
Friends are now scrambling to help care for Ms Ahimsa's son Hendrix while scraping the funds together to fly Lucky to Australia to receive the best care.
They are also desperately searching for a specialist doctor as the hospital where Lucky is currently fighting for life doesn't have paediatric pulmonary specialist consultants.
Ms Ahimsa provided an update on her daughter's condition early Thursday after a harrowing 24 hours as she urged everyone to keep Lucky in their prayers.
She described Lucky as the most beautiful, gentle little girl and said the world needs to know her.
'There's nothing worse than a doctor telling you your baby isn't going to make it,' she wrote.
'My girl is hanging on though. I'm so proud of her.'
Ms Ahimsa also thanked everyone who contributed to an GoFundMe which has raised more than $125,000 as of Friday morning.
A friend of the family, Bailey Scarlett, earlier told Daily Mail Australia the specialist team Lucky needs is in another hospital but there are no free beds.
'We've been trying to find outside consultants ourselves and send all her scans and X-rays, medical notes and try to get medical opinion outside because we can't actually have the one that we need in Bali at the moment,' Ms Scarlett said.
'The other hospital with what we need is full and their insulator for a seven-week-old baby is broken. Even if we could get a room, they don't actually have the facilities to ventilate her.
'We just have the equipment to keep her alive, but not to actually potentially get her better.
'So we're really stuck in a pretty hard place at the moment.'
