Stephanie Inglis given 50% chance of survival by doctors

More than £200,000 has now been donated to help pay for a seriously injured Highland judo star.

Stephanie Inglis remains in a serious condition in a hospital in Vietnam after suffering head injuries in a freak motorbike accident last Tuesday.

The fund passed the £200,000 mark late yesterday afternoon and is being used to pay for her hospital treatment and potentially for transport when the 27-year-old is well enough.

Childhood friend and judo competitor Khalid Gehlan created an online fundraising page for Ms Inglis, who won silver at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

Yesterday he gave an update, saying that doctors went from telling her parents Robert and Alison she had a 1% chance of survival, and advising them several times to turn off their daughter’s life support, to giving “every resource” to help keep her alive.

He said: “To all the people that have donated, spread the word, ran fundraisers and reached out to everyone you know crying out for support, you have given Stephanie the chance she needed, you have potentially saved her life.

“Stephanie, although still in a critical condition, has made progress over the last five days, the doctors are now saying she has a 50% chance of making it through.

“She still has a very long way to go, a recent lung infection set her back, she is now on a seven-day antibiotic course and is being kept in a sterile room to prevent further infection.

“Her parents have said they are happy with the care she is now receiving, but even with that care the end outcome is still unknown.”

He added: “Words cannot and never will be able to express the gratitude myself, Stephanie’s family and many others have for what you have all done.”

He urged people to continue donating, saying the cost of flying Ms Inglis home would be more than £120,000.
