Sophie defies the odds

WELLWISHERS have left candles, flowers, teddy bears and messages of support for the "bravest of the brave" outside the Sydney hospital where little Sophie Delezio is once again defying the odds.

Her doctor Jonny Taitz said the five-year-old had surprised him by fighting back from the brink after being critically injured in a car accident yesterday - the second to almost claim her life in almost three years.

"She really is a fighter," Dr Taitz said adding she had already proved doctors wrong the first time round.

"I didn't believe she would survive that first day (of the first accident).

"Everything she has done subsequently has proved the medical profession wrong," he said.
