Julia Barresi, 19, from Australia, was reportedly a vibrant and healthy individual before she fell ill and was placed in a coma due to a series of seizures that her relatives believe were caused by her Bali belly condition.
According to her mother, Barresi grew up with health issues, but she eventually managed to maintain a relatively healthy lifestyle.
Julia was with her friends when she fell ill while she was in Bali. She was rushed to a hospital and later transferred to Australia.
According to her mother, Jen, she was worried about her daughter after she had communicated with her on July 1.
Jen told the Daily Mail that she worried about Julia after she didn’t feel well on Monday.
She then booked a flight to see her. Jen added that her daughter was in good physical condition and has never had a seizure, and she is her best friend all around the world.
Julia had been dealing with health issues as a child, but she’s now in good physical condition.
Upon reaching Bali, Jen realized her daughter’s condition, and she immediately called the hospital in Melbourne to get her to the facility.
According to Jen, her friends notified her that Julia had been having seizures, and she suggested that they take her to the hospital immediately.
According to Jen, she believes that the seizures were triggered by a low sodium level that was caused by the Bali belly, which is also known as traveler’s diarrhea.
This illness typically occurs when bacteria are found in food and water, and it can be caused by various viruses, such as the Norovirus and Rotavirus.
Julia is not a big drinker, and according to her mother, she probably wouldn’t have touched the food or water during her illness as she was sick.
It’s not clear what caused her seizures, though Jen believes that a diagnosis will soon be provided. She noted that Julia has strict hygiene habits, and she’s always been careful with her food and water.
Julia’s 20th birthday is on July 29, and the family is hoping that she’ll be able to celebrate successfully.
To help with her medical bills, a Gofundme page has been established for her family.
The trip back to Australia could cost the family around A$170,000.
Julia’s mother stated that her daughter is resilient and will eventually bounce back from her ordeal.
According to Jen, Julia is very special to everyone who knows her. She doesn’t have a bad bone in her body.
