18 years later, the couple have been restricted to their home for 13 years because they are unable to leave Digit alone or carry her outside the house.

Pierre said:  “We cannot leave Digit overnight with anyone else, which means we haven’t been able to go out for 13 years. We haven’t had a holiday, or a night away. We haven’t been to the cinema, the theatre, or out for dinner. It would make Digit sad if we weren’t here, and if she is sad we are, too.”
