Cole's heart stopped for 15 minutes and he spent a month in a coma following an asthma attack when he was 14 years old
The mum of a teenager left brain damaged after an asthma attack has said she is determined to give him the best life possible.
Chloe rang an ambulance for her son after speaking with his doctor and during the trip to the hospital paramedics became very concerned for his welfare and upon arrival he was quickly rushed to resuscitation as Cole had begun having a severe heart attack. "Despite this, growing up he was always a very sociable boy with a great group of friends and he loved playing games together with them and I would regularly have to tell him to be quiet because they could get so loud.
"The out-of-hours GP advised us to ring an ambulance urgently and once inside it the paramedics got very worried about his condition and blue-lighted us the whole way there and quickly rushed him inside to be seen as he began to have a heart attack. She continued: "The Christmas after he went into a coma I had gone home quickly to wrap up presents for my two daughters before going back to see Cole again. I then got the best present I could have asked for when I walked into his room and his eyes opened and he gave me a little smile.
"While I am so proud of how hard he fought to get where he is, my heart is still broken that I will never be able to hear his voice again. I would do anything to hear him shouting and laughing while playing games with his friends again."
