Her family have been told Sarah has days to live, but a scientist offers them a glimmer of hope. Starring Jocelyn Brassington.
Sarah is 10 years old. She scratched her knee and developed an infection. When the infection threatened her life, her parents agreed to have her leg amputated. But the amputation didn't stop the infection.
