Emma's skin is now just 2mm thick meaning she is constantly fearful of the slightest cut or injury which could expose her internal organs
A young woman who almost died after a flesh-eating disease tore through her body has bravely spoken of her journey of recovery.
Mum Marie began working 15-hour shifts at Sainsbury's in order to save up the money to pay for somewhere privately for Emma and, thanks to "an angel sent from God" who runs the Swans Rest Holiday Lodges and Cottages in Poulton, the pair are finally living in suitable accommodation, albeit forced to find an extra £400 to pay their rent.
Emma then suffered a second tragedy when, last March, her mum was admitted to hospital with sepsis in a cruel coincidence. Emma struggled to cope with the situation and at one point barricaded herself into her home amid fears she would lose her mum to the potentially fatal infection which had almost claimed her own life.
