Hide AdMelissa Kinsella, from Wirral, was on holiday in Turkey with her partner and three children when she suddenly collapsed at the airport after suffering a seizure that caused her heart to stop.
The 30-year-old was then rushed to hospital where she was put on a ventilator. She was flown home via air ambulance earlier in the week after her family were told she had swelling on her brain and heart.
In a Facebook post, her mother Michelle wrote: "Our hearts are broken forever after 12 days of fighting for our beautiful daughter’s life test to prove she is clinically dead. We have no words to express how we feel but thank everyone who helped us in any way to bring her home."
