Overview
- Jade Bird, 33, was discharged in Tenerife and flew home Thursday, and she is now stable and being assessed at a hospital near Abergele.
- After an emergency visit to Ysbyty Glan Clwyd, doctors said she will need a lumbar puncture for raised pressure inside her skull.
- She became ill at the airport with a severe headache and earache, scans showed a brain infection that progressed to meningitis, and doctors then induced a coma.
- Her sister-in-law and mother flew to Tenerife, and a GoFundMe paid for repeated flights and weeks at her bedside, which will also let her take time off work to recover with her daughter.
- She thanked Tenerife Hospital and donors, reunited with her daughter Skyla, and closed the fundraiser after giving to “Tommy’s Journey,” which supports a five-year-old from Sale on palliative chemotherapy.
