Family issue update on Kilkenny man who fell ill abroad
Kilkenny man Michael Wall collapsed with a heart attack and stroke
A Callan man who collapsed while on holiday in Spain is understood to be making slow progress on the road to recovery.
On Monday, June 3, while on holiday, Michael Wall collapsed with a heart attack and stroke. The local man subsequently went into intensive care at Dr Jose Molina Orosa Hospital in Lanzarote, Spain.
A GoFund Me Page was set up to help bring the local man home which raised over €33,000.
"Michael has always been the type of person who puts others before himself, and now, he needs our help," the family stated following the tragic incident.
However, the Wall family issued a fresh update on Michael's progress earlier this month.
"Dad has made a miraculous recovery in the last few days," a post by the family read.
"He is off tube feed and eating normal food and maintaining his weight. His brain injury is slowly recovery and a lot of work is needed for improvement on a long road ahead," they said.
The family also thanked the public for their support and prayers before concluding by stating; "Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for helping us through this tough time, we will be forever grateful."
