Mum Fights Hospital Bill After Turkey Medical Emergency

0:00On April 29th, a 52-year-old mum from Wythington, named Carla Edwards, is fighting to get back home from Turkey after a scary medical emergency. Derailed her family holiday. She flew to Antalya on April 22nd, with her son Demiko and his crew for a quick week away. But by Friday, she went unresponsive in her hotel. Room, landing her straight and intensive care with a perforated stomach ulcer and ruptured appendix. Medics caught the issues fast, but the family had no clue about the ulcer before this hit. Travel insurance won't touch the costs, so they're on the hook for a 10,000-pound hospital bill, with half already scraped together from there. Pockets. Daughter Kiyisha shared how terrifying it was. Eyes open, but no response. Security rushing in, ambulance lights flashing. Now with Demiko's family heading back Wednesday, Carla's stressing about being alone overseas, especially as a mum of four, and grand to nine. She's bounced back a bit today, out of ICU, onto a regular ward.

Folks are rallying hard to get Carla wheels up to Manchester soon? Keep an eye on that fundraiser, and fingers crossed she beats this hurdle quick.
