The grandmother of an Irish baby who underwent the world’s first intestine transplant in Spain has described the child’s recovery as a “miracle”.
Thirteen-month-old Emma is recovering well after a leading medical team saved her life in the first ever transplant involving a living intestine.
The child’s grandmother, Helen, who moved from her home in Cork to Spain in 1974 to teach English, said she was “overjoyed” that doctors saved her grandchild’s life.
