Summary
A seven-year-old girl stabbed three years ago on Parnell Square now faces a lifetime of care after severe brain damage from oxygen deprivation, leaving her paralyzed, unable to swallow, and communicating only by blinking. Her family has transformed their home to meet her needs, while doctors explore eye-tracking tech for communication.
