During the coronavirus pandemic, Karen Kinsella would come home to find her teenage daughter asleep when she was supposed to be doing school work.
The mum-of-two from Hyde put it down to her being a teenager. But then Emily developed a headache, and a few days later, her mum noticed that her face had dropped on one side.
Not overly concerned, she contacted her GP who asked Karen to send a picture of Emily's face. Within minutes she'd received a reply telling her they needed to go to A&E urgently.
