THE family of cancer-stricken youngster Olivia Downie are still no closer to getting permission to fly her home from Mexico.

Brave Olivia’s parents Lauren and Steven have constantly been at her side as her condition continues to deteriorate.

Olivia, 7, was recently taken off life support for a few hours but doctors were forced to put her back on due to internal bleeding.
