When Caitlin McLaughlin was born, her mother Sharon was told she had suffered a massive stroke in the womb which would leave her daughter blind and unable to walk or speak. But now, aged three, Caitlin is amazing medics with her incredible progress having learnt to speak, walk and even retrain parts of her brain so that she can see.
