Mary Griffin was devastated when her 12-year-old daughter Sarah was put in an induced coma after she’d been vaping and admits that she'll be a high-risk patient for the rest of her life
"As Sarah was getting ready for bed one Sunday night, she started coughing. She’s asthmatic, but it settled once she used her inhaler. The next morning, though, it went from bad to worse. Sarah had stayed off school but she called me when I’d quickly popped to the shop, barely able to string a sentence together, telling me she needed to go to hospital.
"The doctor showed me an X-ray of Sarah’s lungs and explained one had been badly injured. The other was therefore working overtime and aggravating her asthma. Sarah also had an infection, so everything combined had a massive impact on her body. "Sarah had machines breathing for her and she was very unstable. The first time the team tried to bring her out of the induced coma she was so agitated the doctors decided it was too early and induced her again.
