Toddler left without limbs after being ravaged by meningitis smiles again as she gets 'mini-me' doll which looks just like her

The little girl beat the killer bug after she was given just a 10 percent chance of survival - but lost her arms, legs and the tip of the nose in the process.

 

Harmonie-Rose Allen is delighted with her new doll

An adorable little girl that lost both her arms and legs to deadly meningitis has been given a mini-me dolly with prosthetic legs and arms.
Brave two-year-old Harmonie-Rose Allen was given just a 10 percent chance of survival when she was struck down by meningitis B last September.
And despite doctors telling her parents it was one of the worst cases they had ever seen, Harmonie-Rose defied the odds and beat the killer bug - but lost her arms, legs and the tip of the nose in the process.
Parents Freya Hall, 22, and Ross Allen, 24 rushed Harmonie-Rose to hospital on September 28 last year - and just ten days after she took her first steps.

The two-year-old defied the odds and beat the killer bug

She was put on a life support machine and doctors later had to remove her arms and legs.
The youngster was fitted with her first pair of prosthetic limbs last November and is on her way to taking her first steps unaided.

Now her parents from Bath, Somerset, have rewarded her bravery by buying her a specially-made doll from America which has matching amputations and prosthetics.
Freya said: "The dolls name is Rebecca. She loves it and she says 'she's like me mummy!'

Harmonie-Rose Allen loves her doll and tells her mum Freya "she's just like me"

"The company that makes then changes many dolls for children so it's just like them and that did one for her.
"It will encourage Harmonie to use her own prosthetic legs because she's not the only one.

"She's already so happy that the doll is just like her.
"Also because she's never met a quadruple amputee in her life it's nice to show her they do exist."
