But she later collapsed on the beach and is now in intensive care in a medically-induced coma.

Her mum Carol Temme, 70, is now desperately trying to raise the cash she needs to pay for a 10-hour flight to be by her daughter’s side.

Ms Temme, of Plymouth, Devon, said: “As far as I know she enjoyed three days out there on the beach but caught a cold and collapsed.

“Louise is still in intensive care in a coma and the doctors have said she could remain in one for weeks yet. It’s very touch and go, the doctors said.”

Ms Temme said she was just desperate to be by her daughter’s side as she battles the illness which has cost Mrs Hutchings ‘half her lung’.

She added: “They’ve had to take half her lung away because as they tried to inflate them to get her to breathe, bubbles were forming and the tear was just getting bigger.

Doctors told Ms Temme that her daughter, a former hairdresser from Saltash, Cornwall, might not survive the flight home if she was moved to a hospital in the UK.

As a result she remains in Mexico, two weeks after she was supposed to fly home.

Ms Temme has been relying on infrequent messages form Mrs Hutchings’ husband Bob and her son Dale who flew from his role in the Royal Navy to be there.

She has been able to speak to the medical director of the Amerimed Hospital a number of times about her daughter’s condition but says her only comfort will be to fly to her.
