Heartbroken parentsare hoping to help others recognise the symptoms of a rare condition after their "best buddy" daughter tragically died from a catastrophic brain bleed.
Hannah Teklic, 9, went to bed as normal on May 6 but woke several hours latercomplaining of a headacheand neck pain at her home inSydney, Australia. Devastatingly, the young girl passed away just days later.
"She said the pain was really bad and wanted to go to hospital because she thought she was going to die," her mother Wasima Lamrani told the Daily Mail. Ms Lamrani initially believed the pain may have stemmed from dancing and doing cartwheels several days earlier, and gave her daughter painkillers.
Hannah subsequently began vomiting, fell out of bed and suffered a seizure shortly afterwards. She stopped breathing in the ambulance en route to hospital, where she underwent emergency surgery to drain excess fluid and relieve pressure on her brain before being transferred to a children's hospital.
Two days later, doctors delivered the devastating news to Hannah's parents that she had been declared brain dead and was unlikely to recover.

"There was nothing more they could do," Hannah's dad Ivan Teklic said.
"We did not have the heart to turn off her life support on Mother's Day, so we stayed with her until Monday.
"She was totally fine on Wednesday night. It makes no sense."
