Lottie Tomlinson reveals she was rushed to hospital for emergency surgery on landing in Abu Dhabi after falling ill on the plane there
Lottie Tomlinson has revealed that she was rushed to hospital in Abu Dhabi for emergency surgery. The influencer, 26, who is one of One Direction star Louis Tomlinson 's sisters, had flown to the country with her fiance Lewis Burton and their children. But Lottie said she started to feel unwell on the plane there, with stomach pains getting worse before she eventually vomited. After landing in Au Dhabi, Lottie went to see a doctor and was put on a drip - but when it didn't help the pain she was sent to hospital where it was discovered she had appendicitis. Lottie was then rushed for emergency surgery to have her appendix removed and shared a clip explaining the scare from her hospital bed on Instagram on Thursday as she recovered. 'So I didn't expect to start our trip like this but I'm just grateful that I'm recovering now,' she began. 'I felt quite ill on the way here, on the plane, really bad stomach pains. 'Then I started throwing up when I got here and long story short I went to the doctor and they put me on a drip - but it wasn't helping with the pain, the stomach pains. 'So they sent me to hospital where they discovered that I had appendicitis so I needed surgery straight away, so last night I had surgery to remove my appendix and it all went well, so I'm just now recovering. 'But I'm so grateful to all the nurses and doctors that have looked after me and I'm hoping that I can make a quick recovery.' She captioned the clip: 'Thank you to all the lovely doctors and nurses here in Abu Dhabi.' Lottie also shared a snap of Lewis sitting by her ward with their two-year-old son Lucky as they kept her company. The couple also welcomed their second child, a daughter called Flossie, in January. 'Hopefully I can make a speedy recovery and enjoy our last few days here,' she captioned the snap of Lewis and Lucky. It comes after last month Lottie admitted her cosmetic procedures became a 'never-ending cycle' as she candidly opened up about using filler and having beauty treatments. The influencer has had her lip and cheek filler dissolved and previously said she noticed the cosmetic procedures had 'got out of control'. But in May Lottie revealed that she first turned to cosmetic treatments after 'losing her confidence' after her mum Johannah Deakin's death in 2016 at the age of 43. She said she believes her mum 'sugarcoated' her diagnosis and she never realised 'how bad' she was until near the end. Speaking to Giovanna Fletcher on her Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast, she revealed that becoming a mother herself has changed the way she views herself and given her her confidence back. Lottie said: 'I felt like it was making me happy, you know? Losing the weight and feeling slimmer definitely made me feel better in myself. 'But in terms of the fillers and the beauty treatments, it was just a never-ending thing of trying to catch up with yourself. 'And, like, when you lose someone as close as your mum, it affects your confidence a lot. 'That's something I never expected, because if you think about it, your mum is the one person that cheers you on, that loves you unconditionally, that's there to give you that, you know, reassurance and support. 'So when you lose that, you kind of lose that, you know, confidence in yourself. 'So I think I was constantly chasing, trying to find that confidence, thinking I would find it in these, you know, fillers and how I looked.'

North Texas teen survives stroke days before prom thanks to rapid medical care, inspiring future nurse
For many high school seniors, prom is something they look forward to all year. One Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District teen said she had her dress picked out and all the plans in place, but almost didn't make it because of a major medical scare. Just weeks away from prom and graduation, 18-year-old Katie Rangel started feeling off. "It was just my right leg weakness," she said. "It started getting numb and I just couldn't balance myself." She brushed it off as just being tired, but her boyfriend felt something was wrong. "He was just saying, 'Should I call 911?'" she said. "I just remember going into the ambulance and then I think I just kind of blacked out." In the ambulance, Katie Rangel had a seizure. Then, at Baylor Scott & White Medical Center in Grapevine, doctors determined she was having a stroke. Her parents met her at the hospital. "It was really, really, scary," Gilbert Rangel said. "Emotional. I didn't know what was going on at the time, but what was going through my mind, 'My normal child... will she be normal again?'" "Luckily, she came to the ER because if she didn't come to us, she'd probably be disabled right now," Interventional Radiologist Dr. Abdul R. Quadeer said. Quadeer said a case like this in an 18-year-old is incredibly rare, and it turned out Katie Rangel had a hole in her heart. A blood clot traveled from her leg, through the small hole in her heart, and to the left side of her brain, shown in a brain scan. We got our device through the blockage," Quadeer said. "Luckily, the clot came right out. Within less than 10 minutes, this is a picture of what a normal brain looks like. It's actually her brain immediately after we got the clot out." Just two weeks later, Katie Rangel was able to attend Trinity High School's senior prom, fully recovered. "I was on the dance floor almost the whole night and it was really fun," she said. This week, she got to thank the medical team who made that moment possible and said if it wasn't for them, she knows her life would look a lot different today. "I could have lost more tissue in my brain," she said. "I was thankful because I can speak better. I can walk and balance." Now, with a high school diploma in hand, Katie Rangel is setting her sights on becoming a nurse, inspired by those who cared for her. "Just because everyone was so nice," she said. "I feel like I would be great at this job." Using Katie Rangel's story as an example, doctors at Baylor Scott & White Grapevine said it's important to know the signs of a stroke, which include facial asymmetry, problems moving arms or legs and speech disruptions. They said if you think you're having a stroke, the best thing you can do is get to the ER.
