A grandmother is on a ventilator in intensive care in a Turkish hospital after falling ill while on a dream holiday to Marmaris. Mother-of-two and grandma Pat House, 60, was having an "amazing time" in the tourist resort of Marmaris in Turkey when she started to feel unwell the night before she was due to fly home.
Pat started to feel ill on Friday, October 14, and after picking up some antibiotics, she took herself off to bed for an early night to try and get some rest. But her friend Desrey Dones, who had booked the holiday for the pair to enjoy, was horrified when she checked in on her the next morning and found her gasping for breath.
The hotel Pat, from South Bank in Teesside, was staying at called an ambulance for her and she was rushed to a nearby private hospital. While her two daughters have now flown out to Turkey to be by her side, the private hospital did not allow anyone else to go in with Pat.
