My husband has severe copd (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and yesterday had a severe exacerbation. This means he couldn't breathe properly and is now in hospital.
He is on a ventilator, and not responding well to this treatment after about 40 hours on the ventilator. I am utterly terrified.
I've come home to try to sleep, but can't.
He is only 61. He is terrified too. I simply can't think straight and am in a new and appalling world where nothing is right and everything is terrifying. I can't stop shaking with fear. Please hold my hand.
