Young Amputee Ireland Nugent Has Own Website

The story of spunky Palm Harbor toddler Ireland Nugent made headlines around the world. Now, the family of the resilient 2-year-old amputee has created a website, IrelandNugent.com, so people can follow her progress.

Ireland's ankles were severed in April, when her father accidentally backed over her while putting away the family's riding lawn mower.

Ireland recently received prosthetic legs, which she is learning how to use. 

"Ireland did great at therapy today! They had her legs on the whole hour! She walked with a walker and parallel bars. She is so eager to go! She loves all the different swings they have. She gets to practice her superhero flying skills!" wrote her mother, Nicole.

The public can also make donations on the website. It also lists fundraising events for Ireland, who will require special medical care and prosthetics for the rest of her life.
