It would be easy to feel sorry for what she has lost, but 32-year-old Grace Archer says her story is not one of sadness. A listeria infection saw Archer fighting for her life in 2020, including a period where she suffered with locked-in syndrome, which left her family wondering if she was still 'there'. In hospital, Archer began having seizures and was put into an induced coma. O'Connell decorated Archer's hospital room with photos of her friends an family, sung Amazing Grace and washed her hair. In November, about six months after she was admitted to hospital, Archer was discharged.
