Medics stunned by 4-year-old Cian’s progress after 10-hour brain surgery

A BRAVE little boy has stunned medics by walking and talking just days after a brain operation.

Cian O’Brien, aged four, from Upton, Co Cork, has been transferred to Cork University Hospital (CUH) less than a week after a 10-hour surgical procedure in Dublin to control his debilitating epileptic seizures.

But yesterday, a smiling Cian, dressed in his favourite Bob the Builder pyjamas, walked hand-in-hand with his devoted mum Kate from CUH’s children’s ward to the hospital’s front door.
