A nine-year-old girl who was warned she would never walk after she fell into a scalding bath as a baby has taken her first steps - after having her leg AMPUTATED. Brave Tilly Sawford was given just a five per cent chance of survival after suffering 86 per cent burns when she was just 15-months-old. Her devastated parents Emma, 30, and Kyle, 29, were told she was on the brink of death five times as she was treated in intensive care for six months. Now aged nine, she has fought through over 500 operations, including having shark cartilage and cow collagen grafted onto her skin. Incredibly, despite falling head-first into the bath of scalding water, the only place she did not get burned was her face.
