Young mum in coma cried when dad spoke as family say she can 'hear us'

A mum who was fighting for her life in a hospital in Turkey is set to return home today.

Melissa Kinsella, collapsed in an airport after suffering a seizure. She was on holiday with partner Jay Smith, his family and three children, Chloe, nine, Beau, four, and Romi, two. The 30-year-old, from Moreton, was due to fly home on Monday, May 15 but was instead rushed to hospital. Doctors told her family she had swelling on her brain and heart.

Melissa was taken to intensive care in a coma and was unable to breathe for herself. A GoFundMe campaign has been raised to cover medical costs, as Melissa did not have medical travel insurance.
