This heart-breaking picture of the 18-month-old Wigan toddler was taken shortly after she had been immobilised by another stroke.
In the meanwhile her family and medical experts are anxiously waiting for a donor heart to become available – the only gift that can offer her a long-term chance of life.

Members of the Orrell youngster's family have urged everyone either to become donors or take the decision, should they face the tragedy of losing a child, of letting his or her organs be used to help others.
Jessica has been in the intensive care unit of the specialist Freeman Hospital in Newcastle for almost seven weeks now after she was struck down by the virus myocarditis which attacks the muscular tissue of the heart.

She is only the 16th child in the country to be put onto a pioneering support machine called a Berlin Heart.
But it can only be used for so long and the need for a transplant is even more urgent because the treatment has already caused her to suffer six strokes – which scans have shown to have caused her brain damage.

Dad Roy said: "Jessica's heart is damaged beyond repair and she is on the urgent list for a transplant.
"A new heart is her only chance. If she is taken off the Berlin Heart she will die, but because of the strokes she cannot stay on it for much longer either because more strokes are a 100 per cent certainty.
"If she has a transplant she has a chance to recover from the strokes and may even be able to walk and talk."
