Aimee said that her mum did have an underlying kidney problem, however she was stable, and her GP said that she was fit to fly. Aimee said: “She had sepsis last year which killed one of her kidneys, but she still has one fully functioning kidney, so she was stable. “Obviously she wasn’t perfect, but she was well enough to travel.
