Beaming Lexie Forsyth bounced back from the brink - after being “turned into a newborn baby again” when a mystery illness caused her brain to swell.
The four-year-old, who was looking forward to starting nursery, was left clinging to life and had to re-learn how to walk, talk and feed herself after falling ill last summer.
She was so poorly, parents Mark Forsyth and Emilia Blanaru, who are separated, feared they would lose their daughter as she lay in a coma for more than a week.
