Little Roona suffered from a fatal condition that causes cerebrospinal fluid to build up on the brain, her condition caused her head to swell to a circumference of 94 centimetres putting pressure on her brain and making it impossible for her to sit upright.
Roona's mother Rahman, who works as a labourer earning around £2 a day, said:
'We are very poor. We were not in a position to arrange for all the treatment. But so many people came forward to help.'
Roona was admitted to the hospital in April and underwent several rounds of surgery in May and June when doctors drained excess fluid from her head and dramatically reduced the size of her skull to 58 centimetres.
She spent 105 days in total at the hospital before being discharged in August. But she returned to the same hospital earlier this month to have part of her bone removed from her skull which was then rebuilt.
Roona will likely have to undergo another procedure early next month to compress her head further.
Doctors carried out her latest reconstructive surgery on Friday and the results are clear to see in these pictures taken of Roona at a hospital in New Delhi, India, on Christmas Day.
