Kate Garraway's heartbreaking update on husband Derek's health with new condition resulting in 'near miss'
Kate Garraway has shared a fresh update on her husband Derek Draper's health, revealing a new condition he has developed that is 'baffling' doctors.
The Good Morning Britain star has been helping care for Derek since early 2020 after he contracted Coronationvirus. The virus 'wreaked havoc' on the former Labour lobbyist's body.
He spent just over a year in hospital and has needed round-the-clock care ever since he returned home in April 2021. While he's made some progress since coming out of his coma, he can still only say the occasional few words and is struggling with renal failure and infected wounds.
Another of Derek's struggles comes from his lungs. He can't breathe in oxygen nor breathe out carbon dioxide efficiently, meaning his body is "slightly poisoned all the time".
