BUNCRANA GIRL HOME: Buncrana girl Keri Kelly is home after a trip to China to potentially restore her sight…and can now see better than ever before.
The nine-year-old Scoil Isoagain girl spent 24 days undergoing treatment at the Qingdao Chengyang People’s Hospital.
Her mum Tracey told donegaldaily.com: “I am not getting carried away with the surprise early success of the treatment.
“We are delighted because any improvement shows that we are doing the right thing and we have some chance of Keri being able to see.
“The doctors have warned us that it could take between six and eight months before we see any more big improvements.
“We just have to keep going and continue to get more treatments to see what we can do for Keri,” she said
More than €40k was raised for Keri’s Search for Sight campaign.
