Ashley continued: “Today was the first time for days that she has been able to open her eyes. The swelling and the blood in her tears is causing her pain and forcing them to stick and shut.
“But with relentless care and improvisation we’ve managed to help her see the world again. Even though she doesn’t have much energy, she loved to see her surroundings today and had the loveliest little play time.
“We even got a smile, which was worth more than anything money can buy.

“But we aren’t counting the days right now, we’re just doing our best to make those days count.”
