A North Belfast child is facing a housing crisis after a brain aneurysm which left her in ICU twice and wheelchair bound.
Debbie McQuade's 10-year-old daughter Anna was admitted to the Royal Victoria Hospital for Sick Children on August 9, 2021. A previously healthy child, Anna had a sore neck with doctors telling the family she had a 3-4cm brain aneurysm.
After two operations in August and September 2021, the family thought she was getting better. However, in January 2022, her aneurysm grew to 6cm, leading to a further coiling operation.
