Aisling Brady suffered three seizures, three cardiac arrests and a stroke after fainting and hitting her head at a school where she was teaching physics and maths.
The 26-year-old was knocked out for three minutes after hitting her head against the floor during the horror incident on November 27.
The Irish teacher was put on a wheelchair and brought to hospital in an ambulance.
However, while she was being rushed to hospital, her condition worsened which is when she suffered the three seizures.

On arrival, she suffered the first of three cardiac arrests before being brought back after three to four minutes of resuscitation.
She then endured a further two cardiac arrests and a stroke which is when doctors placed her on life-support.
According to her boyfriend – who set up a GoFundMe page – this was caused by a Pulmonary Embolism that formed in her leg over a long period, rushing up to her heart and getting caught in her lungs.
The page was also set up to try and bring her back home.

Writing on the page, Kristian Mansfield said: “We are extremely lucky to be able to start this page, as just over two weeks ago we were given no hope.
“If the ambulance was a minute later, we wouldn’t be here.
"We are praying that soon we can leave the acute phase, which currently totals sixteen days.
"This will hopefully be within the coming weeks and it is from here Aisling will be fully focused on the small steps to her recovery, as family, friends, acquaintances and strangers.

"We must think of the long term so Aisling can focus on the here and now to get better.
"Everybody that knows Aisling understands she is resilient, driven, stubborn and tenacious and she will not settle for anything less than getting her life back up to speed.
"With the right help and support, there is every hope we can together get her back to her loving and caring self."
The family are hoping to raise enough to transport Aisling home using a full-air ambulance.
