‘It will be a miracle if she pulls through’ - Heartbreaking update by sister of Limerick assault victim Scarlett Faulkner

A SISTER of Scarlett Faulkner has issued an update on social media this Thursday afternoon saying the mother-of-one from Limerick city is “not out of danger”.

Scarlett, aged 29, was viciously beaten by individuals armed with weapons at the side of the R494 road in Birdhill on Saturday evening. The vehicle she was travelling in was rammed off the road before she was dragged from the vehicle and attacked.

Gardai have arrested two individuals in connection with the brutal assault. Scarlett remains in a critical condition in Cork University Hospital.

Her sister, Victoria, said in an update on social media this Thursday afternoon that she wants everyone to know she has seen every single post.

“I've seen all the messages, comments, everyone sharing posts, putting videos up about Scarlet, down to every prayer that every person said -  thanks very, very much to each and every one of you. May God bless you for doing it.”

VIctoria said Scarlett is not out of danger. 

“She's still very critical at the minute. It will be a miracle if she does pull through and does survive - we're all praying. We're all heartbroken. We're in a million, thousand (pieces). 

“There's no words to describe the way we're feeling right now but please, I'm begging of ye, just please keep continuing to pray for Scarlett. It will be a miracle if my sister pulls through.”

Victoria said Scarlett’s beautiful six-year-old daughter is asking her every day, how is mommy, is mommy going to come home and can she see mommy? 

“I don't know what to say to the child because it's just too hurtful to explain. It's her mommy at the end of the day, She's only six-years-of-age. She needs her mommy. Every child needs their mother.”

Victoria ends the emotional update by saying: “I'm begging of ye, keep praying, just keep praying”.
