She initially thought she had a normal bug when she began to feel ill the following day – but was rushed to hospital when her mum noticed red spots on her body.
Sian was put into a coma for multiple days as her body fought the infection Sian said: ‘The last thing I remember is walking into the hospital entrance. I know I was aching and it was hard to move so I sat in a wheelchair but then it gets blurry.’ Within four hours of arriving at the hospital, Sian was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis and placed into a medically-induced coma for four days.
