Toddler Who Lost Limbs To Meningitis Has Found A Doll ‘Just Like Me’

Harmonie-Rose from Bath in the UK was a healthy baby until she contracted the meningitis B virus at 10 months old.

She spent the following four weeks in intensive care and her parents were told that she had a 10% chance of survival.

Despite the odds, Harmonie came through the other side but had to have both arms and legs amputated due to the severity of the infection.

Now two, she has adjusted to her new way of life and living, and she and her parents went on Good Morning Britain today to show off her latest most treasured possession: a doll who looks just like her.

Her parents, Freya and Ross, have gifted gorgeous Harmonie with a ‘Rebecca Doll’ who has been modified to be a look-a-like in that she is a quadruple amputee too!

Mum Freya said they went to the trouble because their daughter has been so brave throughout all of her hospital treatments and they don’t want Harmonie to grow up feeling isolated by her condition.

We wish Harmonie and her ‘Becca Doll’ all the very best and lots of fun as they grow up together.
