A British holidaymaker is in a critical condition in an Ibiza hospital after collapsing in her hotel bathroom, suspected to be due to heat stroke. Sue Adams, 62, travelled to the Balearic island with her husband, James, on August 29 for a week-long holiday. The couple enjoyed their first day by the pool and dined out before returning to their hotel room around 9:30pm.

At 4am, James heard a noise and went to check on Sue, only to find her unresponsive on the bathroom floor with a swollen, bruised right eye. He immediately placed her in the recovery position and rushed to the hotel reception to call for an ambulance. Upon arrival, Sue began to convulse and was quickly taken to the hospital for urgent care.

Doctors conducted a full body scan, revealing no internal bleeding but two small fractures—one in her face and another in her lower lumbar area. Sue was placed on a ventilator and kept under sedation to aid her recovery. After three weeks in an induced coma, she is battling a lung infection, and doctors have reported that her kidneys are failing.

James has been informed that medical staff are attempting to gradually awaken Sue from sedation, but she will require a tracheostomy due to her prolonged time on the ventilator. The cause of her illness remains undetermined, although James suspects heat stroke led to her fainting, possibly causing her to hit her head on the bathroom sink, which may have triggered a seizure.

James, from Loftus in North Yorkshire, expressed his distress over the situation, stating, "I initially put it down to heat stroke. Sue is quite prone to dehydration in a hot environment and has fainted before. Looking back now, neither of us drank enough on that first day in the sun."

He added, "Dehydration doesn't cause the seizure or convulsion, but it may have caused her to pass out and become disoriented. I think when she banged her head, this could have contributed to the seizure. It's all assumptions."

James is currently facing financial strain as he must cover accommodation, food, and transport to the hospital during Sue's treatment. To alleviate this burden, one of his sons has set up a GoFundMe page. James expressed his hope to raise enough funds to stay by his wife's side during her recovery, stating, "I would be devastated to have to return to the UK without my wife."

Sue's medical expenses are being covered by the NHS, thanks to a temporary Global Health Insurance Card obtained through the British consulate. However, this does not extend to James's living costs in Spain.
