'My husband's chances are almost zero they told me'

Then he said"I've got to go now. They're taking me in".

They tried lying him on his stomach to help his lungs but it made no difference. They hooked him up to a dialysis machine; his kidneys had failed. The ward sister was about to go off shift. She spoke to the consultant and phoned me back."How quickly can you get here?" she asked me."I'll wait for you and take you in but you'll have to be in full protective gear, you can't touch him, you can only have 10 minutes. But you can speak to him."

We don't know what to do with ourselves, we don't know how to feel. It is torture we feel like we're in a living in a nightmare. I've never known pain like it, like somebody's constantly stabbing me in the heart and twisting the knife. Yesterday I got a message from a nurse who was with him when he first went into hospital before he went to ICU. She said she remembered him and he was talking about how proud he was of his kids.

Would be great to hear an update on Mal’s progress. I’ve been crossing everything for him and Sue.

In my prayers Sue. Can’t believe how hard this must be for you and your family.

Keep Fighting Mal.... You can beat this

Come on Mal, you need to pull through for your family. Sending love and prayers your way. Regards, Keith.x.

leronlimab can save them. The doctor just needs to contact the FDA and request an emergency IND or get them in the trial for the Severely Ill.

Saturday but Sunday is coming... rooting for Mal for Sue and family

Clearps Heartbreaking

God will help...trust him

Really hits home reading stories like this. Heartbreaking. Really hope he pulls through 🙏

This infectious smile on your faces moves me beyond words.Hope all the Gods wil come to his rescue and pull him from the brink and restore him to your embrace. I pray for every aching heart and let all be delivered from the curse of disease and poverty.

I wish they could have told this lovely man and his wife that he needed to go to H sooner. I think day 7 is crucial and we know things can get a lot worse very quickly. I think more could have been done for sure

Praying for his recovery and to give you all the strength to get through this tough time. Amazing strength you have shown.

So so sad. I just hope he can pull through.

Really hoping he can turn a corner soon x

Heartbreaking. If ever there was a story to make people think twice .........

I feel for her. Personally I would run a hosepipe from my car exhaust to the window, open a chilled bottle of Champagne, turn the ignition on and drink until the co killed me before submitting toventilation

My heart hurts for this family, & husband/father. God Bless to all of you. 🙏❤️

This is heartbreaking to read. The people thinking about breaking the rules this weekend should read this. Your not only selfish you are extremely dangerous.

Reading this after explaining to an idiot on twitter that we shouldn’t all ‘go back to work’, even if it’s hard to provide, because he thinks 99% will be fine. 😥

God bless you all

Cried buckets reading her story this morning. Grateful my husband left the house this morning for peace and quiet, even more grateful he's coming home. Not far from me this family, I'm not religious at all but I'm still praying he pulls through.

Perhaps all those out and about and throwing parties should take a few moments to read this.
