This is the moment Andrew Allen finally met his son Oliver five weeks after he was born after going into a COVID coma on the day his wife gave birth.
But it would be weeks before the 32-year-old finally got to meet his son after his condition deteriorated and he ended up in a medically-induced coma. Allen, from Bolton, Greater Manchester, started feeling ill on 19 July, 2021 after a co-worker tested positive for COVID-19. When the doting dad woke up from his coma he spotted a photograph of his daughter Imogen, five, and a baby - and realised it was his newborn son.
He was ventilator and put into a medically-induced coma on the day he arrived in hospital, which would continue for the next two weeks. He finally met his baby boy when he was five weeks old as the pair were introduced in a hospital corridor.
