Tragically, doctors could do little and were soon delivering his parents the heartbreaking news that he would not regain any brain function.

They are now preparing to say their final goodbye, with a ******** service to be held in Perth on Friday. It will be followed by a private wake.

He underwent emergency brain surgery and spent four nights in BIMC Hospital Kuta, surrounded by friends and family.

Loved ones managed to secure him a passage home to Perth and upon landing he was taken straight to Royal Perth Hospital.

Tragically he could not be saved.

Without travel insurance, medical bills soared to more than $350,000.

One surgery on the holiday island was $53,000 and each night in hospital was a further $9,000.

, but there was still a huge gap to cover and his parents had flagged they might have to sell their house to pay the rest.

But in a glimmer of good news amid the darkness, they were able to remortgage, meaning they will keep their home.

“You do what you have to and we did what any parent would in that situation,” Catherine Ramsey told 7NEWS.com.au of their desperate bid to keep her son alive and get him back to WA.

“You’re on autopilot a bit (amid the grieving). The banks were great and everyone was understanding and trying to help out.”

She thanked donors who had contributed to her son’s care and was taking solace in knowing that he was an organ donor who will give the gift of life to others.

She has also issued a warning to others travelling to Bali, saying she had reflected in the last week amid a backdrop of other fatal accidents.

Ramsey’s advice to tourists is to reconsider riding scooters or bikes because you “don’t know what you’re getting on”.

“Take care. This happens in the blink of an eye,” she said.

Ramsey’s friend Amyleigh Mitchell previously pleaded with tourists to wear helmets and get travel insurance.

“If it was not for all your donations we would not have been able to bring Shane home and give him the best possible treatment he deserves,” Mitchell said.

“So please just know that Shane’s family have no words to express their extreme gratitude for all the support from those who knew Shane, and even the total strangers who also donated.”
