MP Amy Callaghan ‘stable’ after life-saving op

-

MP AMY Callaghan has pledged to come back “stronger, fitter and more determined than ever” after suffering a brain haemorrhag­e.

The SNP politician was elected to the House of Commons in December after ousting the then Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson from her East Dunbartons­hire seat.

SNP leader and Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has sent her good wishes to the 28-year-old – who has previously fought cancer.

Ms Sturgeon tweeted she was “sending lots of love and strength to @AmyCallagh­anSNP and her family, and wishing her the speediest possible recovery”.

Ms Callaghan was rushed to hospital on June 10 after being found at home by her partner.

Her brain haemorrhag­e was said to be “related to a previously manageable medical condition”, a statement from her office said

She underwent emergency neurosurge­ry after “imminent risk to life was identified” but is now stable.

The statement said Ms Callaghan “wishes to put on record her enormous love and gratitude to all involved in her care.”
