Amy Thomson, 16, is now in a wheelchair after collapsing in June.

She spent weeks in hospital after reportedly taking the drug at a party. The video posted on social media shows the Glasgow teenager in her wheelchair. She waves slowly at the camera and says: "Thank-you everyone.'' The video, posted on her mother Tricia's Facebook page, has received many messages of support. Laura Anderson wrote: "You're doing amazing Amy,'' while Cheryl Mcphee posted: "Amazing Amy, keep up the good work and you will get stronger.'' Susan Forbes wrote: "So proud of you Amy and Tricia,'' and Karla Shennan said: "Absolutely amazing Amy, well done girl.'' Amy's family have said they are hopeful she will improve further with the right care and support.
