A schoolgirl narrowly escaped death and left partially blind and deaf after she was crushed by a fireplace.
Doctors don't know whether Alexa-Leigh Blakemore, six, will walk again after the horrific accident in the front room of her family's rented home in Norris Green, Liverpool on September 10.
Alexa-Leigh was crushed when the heavy fireplace loosened and landed on top of her - fracturing her skull and causing a bleed on the brain, Liverpool Echo reports.
Dad Keiran Blakemore, was feeding her baby sister on the couch when he heard his girl screaming for help.
Mum Elle Williams and dad Kieran were initially unsure whether the youngster would survive.
Doctors induced a coma and she stayed unconscious for several days.
Medical staff roused her gradually but she's been left with life-altering brain injuries.
The couple appeared on ITV News where they told reporters they'd told the landlord about the fireplace weeks before the incident.
A tearful Elle told TV crews: "I'm angry and I'm hurting- my daughter is now being robbed of her life, she had a completely normal life and she'll never be normal again.
"It was a freak accident but at the same time it could have been prevented.
"We think she was dancing around and fell and grabbed onto the fireplace. We never ever thought that would happen."
Keiran added: "I'm angry with the landlord because she knew it wasn't safe, and I sent her the quote to get it done and it hasn't been done.
"My daughter's still in critical condition.
"She was a happy, normal little girl, who had a following on social media, and now I'll never see her dance again."
Speaking to the ECHO in September, Kieran said: "I was lying on the couch feeding our five-week-old baby and her mum was in the bath.
"Alexa-Leigh was doing her thing like she normally does, running around and playing like the happy little girl she is. I was concentrating on feeding my baby but I could see her out of the corner of my eye.
"All of the sudden there was a crash and this thing had fallen on her and there was a lot of blood.
"This fireplace is like a concrete and marble thing and to move it I would have to walk it across the floor, but when it happened I have never lifted anything so quick, I moved it like it was a piece of paper.
"Within 10 seconds I was shouting in the street for help, and the ambulance came within two and a half minutes."
Alexa-Leigh, a pupil at Monksdown Primary School, sustained a fractured skull, a fractured eye socket, a fractured wrist, and most seriously bruising on the brain.
Keiran said doctors at Alder Hey said the force of the blow would have "knocked out a bull".
A police investigation into the circumstances of the accident is ongoing.
