A woman left paralysed and unable to talk after giving birth has been given a new device - allowing her to communicate with her family. Heavily-pregnant Emma Taylor, 33, was placed in an induced coma after a brain tumour burst before giving birth to daughter Ophelia by emergency caesarean.
Just two days later she had an operation to remove the brain tumour but remained in a coma for another three months. Today, seven months on, she it is still in an NHS rehab centre.
Up until now, dental hygienist Emma, has only been able to communicate by head and hand movements. But last week she was delivered a communication device where she can click letters with the movement she has in her thumb.
