A dad who became the "sickest patient" a hospital had ever seen after he was diagnosed with coronavirus has defied all odds to return home.
Michael Ellison, 65, battled Covid-19 for weeks after experiencing unusual symptoms, including diarrhoea, headaches and a bad cough.
He was still receiving chemotherapy treatment, having recently gone into remission with leukaemia when he started feeling ill.
But Liverpool Echo says the father's symptoms worsened and, one night during lockdown, he struggled to stand up in the bathroom.
