## Resource

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. She attends a specialized school and requires daily therapy, with experts noting most recovery from brain injury happens within the first year. Meanwhile, the creche worker injured in the same attack suffered a collapsed lung, ruptured diaphragm, and spleen removal, leaving her at high risk of infection.
