A British woman who was saved by her twin sister when a crocodile attacked her now has sepsis from her wounds.
Melissa and Georgia Laurie, 28, were swimming in a lagoon near Puerto Escondido, Mexico, when Melissa was dragged underwater by the reptile.
Georgia punched the crocodile and saved her sister, who is now in a medically-induced coma in hospital.
But their older sister says Melissa's situation is "still really serious" and "we're not relaxing just yet".
Hana Laurie told BBC Breakfast that bite wounds to Melissa's stomach and legs had become infected.
"She has now developed sepsis," she added.
Crocodiles try to drown their prey so Melissa also had "a lot of water and grass and things in her lungs," Hana said.

Uzbekistan continued their quest to head to the World Cup during 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification in Russia, but their campaign had been shattered with a humiliating 2–4 defeat to North Korea. However, the Uzbeks soon bounced back and won the last remaining matches to top the group and qualified to the 2019 AFC Asian Cup as well as the last round. Once again, Uzbekistan in the last round, missed an opportunity when they finished fourth, behind Iran, South Korea and Syria, when Uzbekistan could only manage a 0–0 draw to the South Koreans last match.

A woman who lost her job after saying that people cannot change their biological s ex has won an appeal against an employment tribunal.
Maya Forstater, 47, did not have her contract renewed after posting tweets on gender recognition.

The 55-year-old replaces Neil Lennon, who resigned in February as the club failed in a bid to win a record 10th consecutive Scottish Premiership title.
The former Australia boss joins from Yokohama F Marinos in Japan on a 12-month rolling contract.
"I will be doing everything I can to get our great club back on top," said Greece-born Postecoglou.
"We want to entertain our fans and we want to win, these are the objectives which I always set myself and which I now begin work on.
"The opportunity that has been given to me is one of the greatest honours in football."

Royal Family members have paid tribute to the duke, who died in April aged 99 - nine weeks before his 100th birthday.
Russian 31st seed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova continued her late bloom by reaching a first Grand Slam final with victory over Slovenia's Tamara Zidansek in the French Open last four.
Pavlyuchenkova, 29, was a dominant junior player but had never previously reached a Grand Slam semi-final.
Against another debutant at this stage, she won 7-5 6-3 on the Paris clay.
Pavlyuchenkova will face Greek 17th seed Maria Sakkari or Czech Barbora Krejcikova, who play later on Thursday.
Those two players are also competing in a Grand Slam semi-final for the first time.
It is the first time since 1978 - and only the second time in the Open era - that a Grand Slam women's singles tournament has had four semi-final debutants.
