My partner is on a ventilator as he was struggling so much to breathe on 100% oxygen. The consultant was not overly confident that my partner can pull through With liver failure, kidney failure, pneumonia, diabetes and an infection, even though they are doing everything they can. My partner has been stable overnight and they have reduced the oxygen to 55%. I’m constantly worried sick and I’m praying so much. This is a nightmare and I’m not coping very well 😢😢😢

Hello heartbroken ,

So very sorry to read of your partner,

Try not to think of the what ifs or do what I do and procrastinate when no one really knows what lies ahead, it’s a worry I know , been similar position myself but in other circumstances 🥀

As trust said , you must remember to look after yourself at this difficult time.

They've reduced the oxygen so that's a good sign. It is so hard for you, I am thinking of you. Whereabouts in the country are you? If you're local (a long shot!) I'd suggest meeting for a coffee or something if you were up to it. I'm in Leeds
