'He was fast asleep and we just told him that we loved him' Mal Martin is on a ventilator after contracting Covid-19, his family were allowed to see him as they have been told to prepare for the worst

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.

Ventilators are drowning people. Only an idiot forces air pressure into the lungs while they're full of fluids. Covid19 cases are being drowned! CorruptMedia are agreeing to lie about a method that is killingpeople without real research. Thats CriminalNegligence

Hi read your story today. Totally heartbreaking really hope your husband can spend many more years with his loving family.

So sad ....my thoughts are with you

How many ways can you report on the same story? Very sad but stop spinning it in different stories.

That poor poor woman. I feel devastated for her. She will have to be both parents to her children and deal with their grief as well as her own. I hope she has someone she can lean on too.

😢

I didn't see any lettler about the rest of 7000 dead, how's she?

I heard this this morning. I’m not easily moved to tears but I was

Happened before this and will happen after this. No-one paid any attention.

Well done that nurse who allowed them to use the protective equipment, I think more families should be allowed to do this, if only once

Devastating, completely heart breaking, hope he gets well. God Bless him !
