Reaching out to Kate, the Twitter user who originally shared the story added: “There really is [hope]. There were several times when I thought he’s not going to make it. Every positive seemed to be met with two negatives but the staff or my dad never gave up.
“I’ve tried getting this to Kate but I don’t think she’s using Twitter at the moment.”
Sending their love to the Garraway family, a third user said: “Praying for your Derek, thinking of you and your family at this difficult time. Remember God only gives strong people a cross to bare [sic], stay positive, he’s gonna be fine, keep faith. Sending love.”

She said: “Derek contracted coronavirus, he went to hospital, it looked initially like he might have a Boris Johnson experience, and come out largely unscathed, but it’s attacked all his vital organs.
“He’s now Covid free, they’ve brought him out of the coma, they put him into an induced coma and brought him out of the coma, and he’s not regained consciousness yet.”
Jane added: “So every day she is living with this awful uncertainty, she’s now talking about maybe our normality is that they are never going to know if he will recover.”
Kate, who recently discussed Derek’s condition during an appearance on Good Morning Britain, explained that she has been trying to remain positive throughout her husband’s health battle.
Speaking to her colleagues, she explained: “He’s still with us and has fought the most extraordinary battle.
“Looking at the positives, he is now Covid free, so he is testing negative, so the fight with the virus has been won and he’s still here but it’s wreaked extraordinary damage on his body and we don’t know if he can recover from that.”
