A teenager put into a coma after developing pneumonia on a family holiday in Spain is back in Scotland after her relatives fundraised more than £80,000 to cover her medical bills and charter a flight home.
Bryony Duthie, 18, from Dundee, who suffers from a rare chronic kidney condition, was brought to Edinburgh from Malaga in a coma on Wednesday evening on a chartered £33,000 IAS Medical air ambulance flight, accompanied by her mother Stephanie and medical staff. Her mother said Bryony had a"stable first night" back in the UK but doctors at Ninewells Hospital and Medical School in Dundee were having to"start from scratch" to understand what is wrong.
Ms Duthie, 37, said:"Yesterday was hard going mentally for me - it was really draining. Every beep of the machine, my heart was through the roof.Bryony was admitted to the Vithas Xanit International Hospital Benalmadena on the Costa del Sol on 16 July, where a CT scan revealed she had pneumonia and she was placed in a coma.
She spent 10 days in the private hospital, where doctors tried several times to bring her out of the coma, but to no avail.
