A good time took a horrible turn for a teen beauty who was
looking for a little something extra. Unfortunately for her, the
experience left her brain-damaged and constrained to a wheelchair, only
taking her first steps 6 months later – and you should see what she
looks like now.
The incident took place on June 10, as 16-year-old Amy Thomson was at
a party in Glasgow, Scotland. Sadly, this wasn’t your ordinary get
together. It was actually an “ecstasy party,” which would eventually
result in the teen taking her first ever pill – at least of that
variety. That’s when things took a turn.
Although the events leading to first responders arriving are unclear,
Amy was eventually taken to an area hospital, where doctors struggled
to stabilize her and keep her alive. Doctors expressed their belief that
she would not make it, and they were more than surprised when her
vitals began to improve.
Proving to be a fighter, Amy would come off life support a
month later and release a video to Facebook just two months after that,
as previously reported by
Mad World News. Unfortunately, she had drastically changed because the drug took an effect on both her mind and body.
Seen in a wheelchair, Amy could be heard slurring her words saying,
“Thank you, thank you everyone,” for the kind words she’d received via
the Facebook page
Support for Amy.
Amy, her family, and the Facebook page hope to serve as a warning for
those thinking about taking drugs and hope Amy’s story deters them for
good.
Amy has made significant progress in her recovery and has
even taken her first few steps since the horrible occurrence back in
June. According to a post made during the New Year’s celebrations, “Amy
still in her chair, but walked 30 yards before breaking up for the
holidays.”
“A machine supports her upper body while her legs walk the walk,” the
post stated. “She said it feels like having her heart ripped out as
it’s so painful but she will keep working hard as walking is her main
goal.”
They also took time to hit their main point home as well.
“There’s nothing recreational about Amy’s recovery,” the post included.
“We would like our precious young people to consider that before taking
any drugs or so-called legal highs.”
It goes without saying that drugs aren’t a matter to be
taken lightly, but if anything proves that, it’s Amy. Although it’s good
to hear that she is making great strides in her recovery, hopefully her
situation can be a warning to those who might be considering the
dangerous path she traveled. Hopefully they hear her message and save
themselves and their family from similar heartache.
