I had to give in and stop working because I really wasnt well. This is where things start to become a little hazy in my memory ... Jen Higgs has managed to continue working at a childrens day nursery for over a year without contracting COVID-19. Then, in late 2021, she receives the news. An infant at the nursery has tested positive and now, after an anxious wait for her own test results, so does she. Two weeks later, Jen is deteriorating fast and admitted to hospital with pneumonia, delirium and sepsis. While doctors warn her mother, Steph, that she has narrowing chances of survival, Jen is experiencing the disorientation of a medically induced coma in intensive care. Through the long months of illness and fear, the kindness of the nurses and doctors shines through. They chart her progress by asking one reoccurring question: can you tell me where you are? A story of hope and recovery, resilience and healing told through Jen and Stephs personal memories, and diary extracts from the NHS medical team at ICU Full of heartache and hopefulness, this book is a tale of family, sharing strength and enduring love even when they cant be together. It is also a stunning portrait of the people who work in intensive care, the kindness and the attention to detail, even when the patient is unable to respond.
