(The Leader) – A MUM who doctors had feared may not survive a brain injury has completed a three-year therapy course and overcome the odds.
Rachel Harry, of Llwyn Onn in Wrexham, has been undergoing intensive physiotherapy to learn to walk again and have speech therapy since giving birth to her daughter Freya in July 2012.
She suffered a hypoxic brain injury after an undetected blood clot caused her to suffer a heart attack.
The 35-year-old has been having treatment at The Brain Injury Rehabilitation and Development (BIRD) charity, based in Eccleston, near Chester.
The organisation announced that Rachel, described as a “very special young lady”, has finished her three-year therapy at BIRD.
A spokesman said: “Remembering Rachel when she came for her first assessment, we remember Karan, Rachel’s mum, pushing Rachel in her wheelchair into the centre. CONTINUE
