She's the little girl who went viral for her beaming smile and bravery this week and she was all set to meet her school pals at their Christmas concert today... but it all briefly became a bit too much. 

Sara Higgins, 5, became a star when her dad Kevin posted a picture of her outside Dublin's Temple Street Hospital. The Cork girl was heading home after major surgery for craniosynostosis.
