The girl has only been allowed home once since last November.

The parents of a little girl injured in the Parnell Square attack last November say they’re taking their blessings as they come.

The girl has been in hospital ever since but was allowed her first visit home earlier this month.

The family say their little warrior has a number of things going for her and that they are now taking it one week at a time.

In an update on GoFundMe, her parents said: “9 months and 5 days ago our lives were turned upside down. It started as a normal day (rushing out the door, catching the train, dropping off the child at crèche, running to work).

At 1.45 pm, I got the worst phone call I could ever get: ‘Something happened! Your daughter was stabbed in front of the school.’

“I ran over and saw a horrific site. I saw my little girl lying on the ground. Doctors and paramedics trying to get her heart beating and air in her lungs.

“She was brought back to life by the amazing team at Temple Street Children’s Hospital.

“Some people wonder why it has taken her so long to recover and if she will be the same little girl as before.

“The human brain is a very complex organ. Deprive it of oxygen for too long and the body suffers. The longer it takes to get it working again, the longer it is to regain function.

“Our little warrior has a few things going for her: she is young, she was a healthy girl before this all happened, she has a great team working with her, a loving family, loving friends, and prayers from all over.

“She has improved so much already during this period. We have learned the beauty of patience and perseverance.
One hour at a time turned into one day at a time.

“Now we go one week at a time. Soon it will be one month at a time. There is no rush. We will take the blessings as they come.”
