The Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway says her husband, Derek Draper (a former political aide) is now able to open his eyes and that he can hear too. Derek was taken to hospital in March after contracting Coronavirus.
Kate told Hello Magazine, “When medical staff say: 'Good morning, Derek,' he sometimes opens his eyes. We and the doctors are doing everything we can so that he can start to recover." The children communicate with the father via FaceTime as the nurse holds the iPad.
Kate feels that this is indeed a miracle that her husband has recovered from the coronavirus after an extraordinary battle. According to reports, Derek was placed in a coma at his own request to give rest to his legs. Doctors say that he won’t be out before September from the hospital.
She added, “"I have to get on with life whilst we are waiting for him to get better. They've told me that I need to go back to work and create a routine in our lives again. The children and Derek are all I've thought about and they're the most important people in my life, but I must create structure and normality for the children."
