Mum reveals tiny Aimee’s ‘amazing’ fight for life

A BABY born three months premature and weighing a mere 1lb 5oz is putting up an “amazing” fight for life at the maternity hospital in Limerick.

Aimee Laura Hennessy — who is so delicate she has been held just once by her mother — is receiving round-the-clock care.

The little girl is so tiny that her parents, Nicola and John from Kilmallock, refer to her as their “little Thumbelina” after the fairy princess who was no bigger than her mother’s thumb.
