A Dublin child has returned home after losing all four limbs while battling sepsis caused by Strep A.
A fundraiser has been launched for Blanchardstown native Sophie Lanigan, aged 12, to help her family renovate their home to suit her needs. In less than 24 hours, a whopping €34,000 has been raised for Sophie and her family.
The child was first brought to the doctor with a high temperature on December 12 and was rushed to CHI Temple Street after she began to have trouble breathing. She was deteriorating rapidly and was put on a ventilator in ICU.
