Help David talk and walk again

Donation protected
On the 10th October my husband David aged 44 suffered a huge  bleed to his brain without any warning , he just fell of the bed onto the floor at 11:30 pm . He couldn’t talk was shaking and couldn’t move any of his right side and I knew it was a stroke . I called an ambulance and he was rushed to hospital leaving our sons at home who unfortunately witnessed what happen they are just 8 and 15. We arrived at hospital and I was put in a room and waited 5 hours on my own . Finally a nurse and doctor told me he had suffered a huge bleed and they didn’t think he would survive and I was told to say my goodbyes before they attempted to try and save his life with surgery . I will never forget that night . David is my total hero and we have never been apart in 18 years . Later that Day he had surgery which is called a craniotomy, they remove a piece of skull to release the brain from swelling and they removed the bleed . David was put in a coma and ventilated . 2 days later the pressure was rising on his brain and he had to have another surgery he stayed in ICU on a ventilator for 2 weeks before becoming more stable and moved to a Neurological ward . David could no longer talk or move any of his right side and due to Covid we were unable to see him so he went through 6 weeks on his own without his family . Our world has been turned upside down and myself and my children are devastated and miss him so much . My youngest son Charlie recorded a song that David use to sing to me and we wanted to get it to David in hospital and it was shared on Facebook and went viral and reached David .David is now at Chorley hospital for rehabilitation he still cannot talk except yes and he’s in so much pain on his right side . He has also got vision problems .David is in very low mood and rehabilitation is slow and limited . David would greatly benefit from intense therapy from a private rehabilitation team but as David can no longer work we just don’t have the funds and I will be his full time carer . David is the most loveliest strongest Man and we we just want him back we know he may never be the same David but he deserves to live a quality life . Please help us get David home and give the children  there Dad back .Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Love Kathryn , Olivia . Ronan and Charlie
