34-year-old mom stranded in Spanish hospital during Christmas due to stroke while on vacation.

Robyn Taylor, a 34-year-old mother, was enjoying a holiday in Spain with her daughter Alana when tragedy struck. Robyn suffered a massive stroke on September 11, just a day before they were supposed to return home. She was found by her parents in their Murcia home, lying on the bedroom floor. They immediately rushed her to the hospital where it was discovered that she had suffered two brain haemorrhages and had to have part of her skull removed. Robyn, now unable to speak and paralysed on the right side of her body, remains in the hospital where she receives food and water through a tube in her stomach.

Her family, who live in Macclesfield, Cheshire, are desperately trying to bring her back to the UK where she can receive the specialized rehabilitation she needs. Although she has come out of a coma, Robyn still has a long road to recovery ahead of her. Her family is hoping that she will be well enough to travel in January. However, the cost of repatriation, totaling £12,565, is not covered by her Global Health Insurance Card, which provides emergency and medically necessary healthcare for British citizens in the EU. To raise the necessary funds, her family launched an online fundraiser and were grateful to receive support from generous donors.

Robyn's father, Tony, spoke about the emotional toll that this has taken on the family. He described the first few weeks after her stroke as a "parallel universe" and a "massive emotional rollercoaster." They have been trying everything to help jog Robyn's memory, including hanging photos of her and the family in her hospital room. Some days, they are able to see signs of recognition from her, but other days they get nothing. It is a difficult and unknown journey for both Robyn and her family.

The stroke came as a shock to everyone as Robyn had no history or symptoms of it, and there is no family history of strokes either. Her family is determined to find out why this happened at such a young age. Tony also spoke about Robyn's personality, describing her as bubbly and a bit fiery, and a loving 34-year-old. Once she is back in the UK, they are hoping that she will receive the necessary treatments such as physiotherapy, speech therapy, and neuro stimulation.

In the meantime, Robyn's parents, who have been living in Spain for 15 years, are taking care of Alana. They are trying their best to shield her from the worst of the situation, but she has been told that her mother may not be the same again. It is a difficult and uncertain time for the family, but Tony says they are trying to remain positive. They are hopeful that with time and proper care, Robyn's brain will be able to function again, though it is still unknown which parts and how long this may take.
