A mum with motor neurone disease who has been given just six months to live is "heartbroken" as she can no longer pick up and cuddle her five-year-old daughter as her condition worsens.
Lisa McCready, 40, was dealt her devastating diagnosis two years ago next month - the day after husband Chris' 40th birthday - and was initially given a prognosis of one to three years.
Her form of MND is one of the more rapid and progressive types with Chris, 41, witnessing the deterioration in real-time, and last week doctors tragically told her she now has a life expectancy of just six months.
