These amazing pictures show the first time a baby struck by the worst case of meningitis doctors had seen in 25 years arrived back home. Brave Kia Gott had all four limbs amputated after contracting a rare strain of the killer disease at just nine months old in September last year. After it was revealed Kia, who turned one last December, had been left brain damaged and is possibly blind, her devastated parents, Paul Gott and Vikki Mitchell, were told by doctors their youngest child might not make it. However, little fighter Kia refused to give up and on Thursday (31 May) was allowed home for the first time on a day-release basis.
