Couple say to see their girl walk was like winning Lotto

To see her three-year-old girl take her first proper steps just a few days ago was “like winning the Lotto to us”, said Laura Leathem.

Not only was she born nine weeks early, but tiny Cara also suffered a very serious bleed on her brain which was discoveredshortly after she wasdelivered in Hollis Street Hospital in an emergencyC section.

“The bleed on her brain was a grade four bleed and it left her with cerebral palsy affecting her left arm and both her legs. But our little girl is a fighter and we are very proud of her,” said mother Laura.
