Donna Skalley suddenly took unwell at home one night, by the next morning she was incredibly poorly and her skin had gone a 'purply colour'.
A Scots mum almost died twice in hospital after sepsis left her with a 'dead kidney' during a 15-day ICU battle.
Daughter Fiona, 26, told Glasgow Live of the moment her mum was admitted to hospital, which she says all happened "so fast". "When they were unblocking her kidney her heart stopped for a full minute - staff then called us to say they got her heart going again with CPR and that she was being taken to ICU".
After 15 days in ICU Donna was moved to high dependency for a few days before spending the remainder of her hospital stay in the Urology ward. Fiona has paid a heartfelt thanks to the "truly incredible" staff, as she hailed them for bringing her mum back. Fiona has launched an online fundraiser in support of the ICU unit at the RAH hospital in Paisley. The team will be walking from Erskine Bridge to Balloch on Sunday, July 7 and have since set up a GoFundMe for well-wishers to contribute.
