A baby underwent a horror seven-hour surgery to remove her bowel after swallowing toy magnetic balls.
One-year-old Araya Whateley almost died and now has a stoma bag after she gulped down six metal balls from a children’s toy.
The metallic beads had come from her nine-year-old sister Isla, who had received them in a ‘school swapsie’.
They had been left on the back seat of the family car when little Araya unknowingly started ingesting them.
