The company’s clinical operations manager, Josh Campbell, revealed that they have offered Lucky’s family “essentially a mobile intensive care unit” including a retrieval physician and a specialist intensive care paediatric nurse.
“It’s a very delicate operation as you could imagine,” Mr Campbell told 7News.
Her devastated mum Honey Ahimsa, who grew up in Melbourne and now lives in Bali, posted an update on social media about her daughter’s precarious situation.
“We must get her improving and more stable before she can be transported,” she wrote.
“She’s fighting strong, yesterday there was a small improvement which is a miracle.
“The hospital has more specialised staff and better equipment/medicine. Goal is she will make enough improvements and then we can fly to Australia.”
The mum said Lucky had a seemingly innocent cough and thought she may have just had a common cold, before she ended up in hospital fighting for her life.
In an Instagram update, the distraught mum said there is nothing worse than a doctor telling you your baby isn’t going to make it.
Doctors told the mum and her fiance Pan that their baby girl may not make it, and had a 50 per cent chance of survival at best.

Speaking of the moment she knew something was wrong, Ms Ahimsa told 7News “I tried to help her, just like normal when babies get sick, they just need sleep … but then she stopped drinking my milk.
“She got really tired and then I looked at her stomach, and you could see her lungs [pulsating].
“So, we quickly rushed her to hospital and … she started going cold and losing her colour.”
“Our hearts are broken. We need all the help we can get. She is the most beautiful, gentle little girl and the world needs to know her,” she wrote.
