Dublin mum who collapsed after mosquito bites on holiday remains critical but stable
Emma Hickey, from Kilbarrack, was on a family holiday with her partner Stephen Brougham and their two children in Costa Adeje. Shortly into the holiday, the 42-year-old medical secretary began to feel unwell as a result of mosquito bites. She was taken to the hospital and received injections and antibiotics, but continued to feel unwell for the days that followed. On June 23, Ms Hickey was making her way to the pharmacy when she felt dizzy and collapsed, hitting her head on a concrete step. She was rushed to hospital where a CT scan revealed the mum-of-two had a brain bleed and neck fractures. Ms Hickey's condition continued to deteriorate and she had to be put into a medically induced coma. 'She got a second bleed on the brain and she developed sepsis and a chest infection,' Mr Brougham said. Ms Hickey's niece, Megan Hickey, said it has been a shock for the whole family. 'When we got the phone call to say this happened, we genuinely didn't know how to take it,' she said. 'We thought, it's a fall, but she'll get through it. She's strong.' Over €60,000 has been raised via a Go Fund Me appeal to support Mr Brougham and their children while Ms Hickey undergoes treatment in Tenerife. ' I'd really like to thank the people who have supported us,' Mr Brougham said. 'They have made it possible for me to stay by her side here as it is gonna be long term.' Ten days on from the incident Ms Hickey's niece remains optimistic that her condition has stabilised. ' When she was admitted to the hospital and we were told it'd be quite a long road,' she said. 'She is starting to breathe by herself, she's not really relying on machines as much.' On Tuesday evening, friends and family gathered at Velvet Strand Portmarnock for a Power of Positivity event to help and support the family.

More info North Dubliners have rallied together to help a mum-of-two who is in critical condition in Tenerife. Emma Hickey and her partner Stephen Brougham took their two kids to Costa Adeje in Tenerife on June 13. Just 10 days into the trip, the Kilbarrack mum-of-two experienced a "really bad case" of mosquito bites and was prescribed injections at a hospital. The 42-year-old carer then "soldiered through the holiday" for the sake of her kids despite feeling unwell. But as they walked down the hotel staircase on their way to a pharmacy on June 23, Emma felt dizzy before collapsing suddenly and falling head-first onto a concrete step. The Dubliner was immediately rushed to hospital where she was put into an induced coma. A hospital CT scan revealed the mum-of-two had a brain bleed and neck fractures. Thankfully, Emma has made some progress and her family are hoping she will be able to return to Ireland soon. A GoFundMe has been set up to assist her family and has raised almost €60,000 at the time of writing. On Tuesday evening, dozens of Emma's family and friends gathered at Velvet Strand Portmarnock for a "Power of Positivity" event. Speaking to Dublin Live at the gathering, Emma's niece Meghan said: "Today we got some really positive news and she is starting to come around. We want to thank everyone for all of their prayers, healing and love that they're sending Emma, Stephen and the kids. "We just hope she comes home very, very soon." The Power of Positivity gathering was led by Tanya O'Shea, who used crystal bowls for sound healing. She told Dublin Live: "They're nice and high vibrational so hopefully they'll be heard well on the beach. "It's just to send a bit of light and healing to Emma and just do what we can with what we have." You can donate to the GoFundMe for Emma Hickey here.
