The family of a Skerries girl who had two thirds of her windpipe removed are raising funds to make her home more accessible.
Molly Grant was only four when she had surgery to have two thirds of her windpipe removed. And while she was able to function fine for twenty years, now Molly is having difficulty because her windpipe has “gone more narrow than it ever was”, and causes her breathing difficulties with regular trips to ICU.
Molly, who has Down Syndrome, has been rushed to the hospital three times this year - first with a chest infection on New Year’s Eve, then with pneumonia and sepsis in March, and again with pneumonia in the end of May. She remains in critical condition.
