<div>Please if you can, spare 5 minutes to hear my mums story and if possible even the smallest donation if you can to support my mum, Mandy Hall, in her recovery. In December of 2020 our family contracted COVID-19, and as myself my dad and little brother began to feel better, my mum unfortunately grew worse and worse. Initially, my mum went to A&amp;E and was admitted onto a virtual covid ward in which I would take my mums observations every few hours and input them into an app so the hospital could monitor. My mums oxygen saturations began to drop and we had to phone an ambulance and this was the last time we seen her until April 2021. During those times, my brave mum went through more than most can fathom. She was admitted onto a respiratory ward but it wasn’t long until she was escalated to Intensive Care Unit. As my mums health deteriorated, more support was required and therefore my mum was incubated. She spent 66 days on the ventilator fighting her life and to come home to her family. While on ITU we received a call that you never wish to receive stating that we’d need to prepare ourselves and that it couldn’t be said if my mum would survive. She’d gone into multi-organ failure, the one kidney she was born with had been working overtime and produced many abscesses and then caused her other organs to fail. As a result of this, my mum has sustained severe nerve damage and is no longer able to do anything for herself. She requires double handed care every day in order to be moved, washed, dressed, taken out. It took just shy of 2 years to secure this package of care and adapted housing so my was able to come home. 2 years spent without our mum, wife, daughter, sister, auntie and friend. During this time, my mum had lost nearly 9 stone as a result of how poorly she had become and not being able to reposition herself in bed, her muscle just wasted away. Mum is currently on a mission to regain as much strength as she possibly can try to walk again. In order to do this, we are paying for physiotherapy and hydrotherapy sessions at the Merlin Centre, which is a charitable organisation. The team are crucial to my mums recovery and journey. They also offer oxygen therapy which we believe will significantly improve my mums sight and rehabilitation. Her sight and speech have both been significantly impacted by this due starvation of oxygen to the brain following multi-organ failure. Any contribution towards this will help more than you know. My mum, Mandy, finally came home 22nd November 2022. She still now more than ever desperately needs rehabilitation. My mum longs to be able to do things like join my dad properly on the weekly food shop again, plan trips to her favourite places again like Poland, maybe even be able to work again, and a goal to be able to stand to renew her vows with my dad. It’s still a long a journey ahead that we have as a family but we are eternally grateful that she is still here to be part of it. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
