By Rachel Reilly PUBLISHED: 10:20 EST, 30 April 2013 | UPDATED: 01:57 EST, 1 May 2013 A little girl given a five per cent chance of survival after she developed a rare infection from chickenpox has made a miraculous recovery - thanks to doctors who battled to save her. Three-year-old Libbie Handley developed Streptococcus Toxic Shock Syndrome from a routine case of chickenpox. Within hours of showing symptoms, she was fighting for her life. By the time her mother Janine got her to a doctor, Libbie's heart rate was at 200 beats per minute, rather than the expected 140, and she was struggling to breathe.
