Marjana Gofur, 37, passed out in Petts Wood, Bromley, after collecting her son Noah from Breaside Preparatory School. He quickly called the emergency number then comforted his mother and looked after his 15-month-old sister, Isabella, until paramedics arrived. Mrs Gofur became unwell on the school run and could barely speak or walk by the time they got home. She managed to phone her husband Abdul, a barrister, at work but then slumped semi-conscious to the floor of their living room. She said: “It’s a 10-minute drive from the school, and by the time I parked up I could barely walk — my head was spinning. I stumbled with my daughter up the stairs, crawling into the house.
