Medics told the 26-year-old’s family that he had just a 30 to 70 per cent chance of survival unless they operated immediately.
His devastated loved ones launched a desperate GoFundMe appeal earlier this week to raise £20,000 for the emergency op to save the Newton Mearns lad.
Hundreds of generous donors raised £42,000 – more than double the original target.
The family have now revealed that the University of Strathclyde graduate underwent an eight hour operation which successfully managed to stop the brain bleeds.

He is now in a “stable” condition and remains on a drip in ICU to reduce swelling.
Posting an update to the fundraiser, his sister Nicola said: “The neurosurgeon is happy with the operation. He has managed to stabilise things and stop the bleeds.
“He has reassured us that this should resolve itself now.
“It’s just monitoring and keeping a close eye now.”

Euan is now waiting for further surgery to fix his broken bones with plates and screws.
We told previously how Euan had stopped off in Bali for a holiday before heading back to Glasgow after a year in Australia.
He was wearing a helmet at the time of the smash but suffered critical injuries when his bike careered off the road during a torrential downpour.
His heartbroken mum Angela, who has now arrived in Bali, thanked donors: “I cannot believe the amount of support and generosity our family has received due to this terrible accident concerning Euan.
“Knowing that I have a financial backup through this just giving page means I am not stressed out about paying for hospital, medication and whatever else costs we need for his recovery.
“It has been such a wonderful show of support from all friends and family. I cannot thank you all enough. I will update you all when I get to Bali and see Euan. Thank you all again from the bottom of my heart.”
