Mum with ‘smiley, babbly baby’ lost her overnight to locked-in syndrome that stole her ability to move or talk

A SINGLE mum felt like she “lost her daughter overnight” after her child developed a rare condition which keeps her locked in her body and prevents her from walking and talking.

Poppy Allard, now 10, was born a seemingly healthy baby and was babbling and picking things up as expected, when, at around 15 months, her behaviour suddenly changed.
