A personal trainer who was rushed to hospital over Christmas woke up from a coma with "no memory" of what happened.
Jack Patterson, 25, had been at home on December 23 when he suffered a severe epileptic fit in the family bathroom.
His mum, Sharon Gaynor told the ECHO the ordeal was the "most horrific thing" she'd experienced in her life after her son was rushed to A&E following the episode.

After arriving at hospital, Jack, who works as a personal trainer, continued to fit and was put in a coma while the seizures continued.
Sharon, 50, said her son has since woken up, but is still feeling the effects of the coma and can't remember anything from the day he had his seizure.
"Jack was in the bathroom having an epileptic fit but they kept coming and coming," the mum, from Garston in Liverpool said.
"His foot was stuck underneath the pipes and the paramedics couldn't get it out because he was so contorted.
"Jack was rushed to the critical care unit at The Walton Centre where he was given even more drugs to stop the seizures.
"He actually had to be put back under sedation after he came around because his blood pressure was going up and up and so was his heart rate.
"It was harrowing. Absolutely harrowing. It was the most horrific experience in my life.
"I've never seen anything like it."
Jack came around from the coma on December 29 and has slowly been getting better, but the effects of the medication means he can't remember anything.
Sharon added: "He's been suffering from confusion and he's delayed and hallucinating. He came home on New Year's Eve and is confused and keeps saying strange things.
"We say things to try and jog his memory but there's a lot he doesn't remember. He doesn't remember what happened on the day of his seizure.
"But he's getting stronger by the day and getting back to his usual self."
Jack has had severe epilepsy for four years and has been told by doctors his seizures could prove fatal.
Just two months ago, Jack was rushed to hospital, and nearly a year before that, was in another coma due to continuous seizures.
Sharon added that the "massive" Liverpool FC fan, hasn't let the seizures stand in his way as he continues to work as a personal trainer at the David Lloyd gym in Speke.
"He has a real passion for what he does and helping people. I know I'm biased because I'm his mum, but he really is the most lovely lad," she said.
"When he was diagnosed with epilepsy when he was 21 he obviously had to make changes to his life.
"He can't have a 'normal' life like other 25-year-olds, but he gets on with it.
"He's just amazing and I can't tell you how dedicated he is as a PT. He's so focused and just gets on with everyone."
Jack is set to meet with a consultant on Tuesday, January 4 to discuss the possibilities of brain surgery that could prevent his seizures happening in the future.
As the seizures usually come from one area of the brain, Jack and his family are hopeful that if it's removed the seizures could stop.
But they don't know how soon it might be before Jack could have the surgery, and then how long the surgery would keep him out of action after.
A fundraiser has since been set up for Jack to help support him through January which is usually one of his busiest months at work.
The fundraiser will allow Jack to rest and focus on his recovery instead of worrying about a lack of earnings.
