Sarah Kelly, who has Down syndrome, is on track to getting out of hospital after watching the how-to message from her favourite musical group.
When the 22-year-old was admitted to the Royal Melbourne Hospital struggling to breathe with COVID-19 last month, she refused to have oxygen tubes put in.With her condition rapidly deteriorating, nurse Steven Moylan — who has a brother with an intellectual disability — had an idea. "She had it on her iPad, she just wouldn't look away from The Wiggles and I thought to myself 'what if I could get The Wiggles to wear the nasal prongs? Would she copy them and do what they do?'" he told 9News.When he finally made contact with the group, the stars were ready to wiggle, and together they helped save a life.
