Four-month-old awaiting surgery

THE family of baby Abie Lawlor were confident last night of life-saving surgery being carried out this week on the brave four-month-old girl.

Suffering from chronic sleep apnea, the baby survives on a ventilator because her body shuts down when it rests at night.

Her mum Rosie, 21, from Clonmel has been at Abie’s side every day since she was born.
