There's nothing very special about eating a burger with cheese, bacon, egg, ham and hash browns unless you are Tilly Merrell.

Seven year old Tilly, from Warndon in Worcestershire, UK, has only ever been fed liquids pumped through a tube connected to her stomach. UK paediatric consultants had decided she was suffering from a rare condition in children called Isolated Bulbar Palsy, which prevented her from swallowing solid food.
Tilly's parents raised £10,000 and she was flown to California for treatment.
Tests at the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital in Stanford, California, indicated that she had swollen tonsils but was otherwise healthy. She is now eating normally without the help of the tube.
£10,000 for a trip to diagnose swollen tonsils! It was worth every penny for Tilly and her parents but someone needs to come up with a lot of answers here.
