Is Kate Middleton in a coma? Or is the Princess of Wales gone? Here’s what the conspiracy theories suggest amid the photo controversy and Prince William’s rumored affair with Lady Rose Hanbury…

New Delhi: The inside knowledge and details about the Royal Family of Great Britain are always welcome because people from all over the world are intrigued by them and want to know everything. Lately, the royal family has been in the news, but for a rather controversial reason. A month later The Buckingham Palace has announced that King Charles has been diagnosed with cancerthe family has found itself in a controversy regarding Prince and Princess of Wales, William and Kate Middleton. Kate Middleton, who made her last public appearance at Christmas, has since gone ‘missing’ and was due to undergo ‘abdominal surgery’, according to the Palace and would now only resume her royal duties from Easter. Now the latest reports suggest that Kate Middleton is nowhere to be seen as she may be ‘very unwell’ and ‘in a coma’, or may have died. This is what the conspiracy theories say about Kate Middleton’s absence…

Adult film star Sophia Leone has died after being found unconscious in her apartment earlier this month, her family has confirmed.

The Miami-born adult film star, 26, was found in her home by relatives on March 1.

Mike Romero, her stepfather, said local police are still investigating the cause of her death GoFundMe page.

Romero wrote on the memorial fundraising page: “Sophia was found unconscious in her apartment by her family on March 1, 2024.

“An investigation by local police into the cause of death is currently ongoing.”

Romero described Leone as a “beloved daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece and friend.”

He also wrote that she had a “deep love” for animals, including her three pets.

The Latina actress reportedly started her career before she turned 20 and has a net worth of over one million dollars.

Leon was scouted by an agent while attending a music festival in Miami and after some research, decided to join the industry.

Since the announcement, donations have been pouring in for Leone on social media and on the crowdfunding page.

Most notably, a fellow adult star named Lena The Plug donated $500 to help her family with her funeral expenses on her GoFundMe.

Fans of the star have also remembered her on X and posted tributes.

One person wrote: “First we lose Akira Toriyama, now we lose Sophia Leone. Life is too short, beautiful and tragic. May they rest in peace.’

Another said: ‘Is this Sophia Leone news real??? I feel sick.’

An adult creator who allegedly worked with the popular star wrote: “Sophia Leone was an amazing member of our industry and she will be missed.

‘We’ve bumped shoulders here and there, but I’ve never really had the pleasure of having a friendship with her. I sincerely hope that her family and friends can have a peaceful space to process her loss.”

The news of Leone’s death comes a day after the stepfather of porn star Emily Willis revealed she is in a ‘vegetative coma’ and ‘fighting for her life.’

Willis was rushed from a popular celebrity rehabilitation center in Malibu to a medical facility in Thousand Oaks, California, on February 5 after authorities received a call about the 25-year-old, who was unresponsive.

She stayed in the institution to be treated for addiction, although it is unclear for what exactly and for how long.

“Emily is still in a vegetative coma and fighting for her life,” Michael Willis, her stepfather who raised her, said in an update on a GoFundMe page for the star.

Her stepfather also dismissed claims that she had ‘overdose’, saying: ‘Emily received the treatment and help she needed at the time of the incident to overcome her struggles.’

“There has been a lot of misinformation about our beloved Emily’s condition, and we wanted to clarify her progress and current condition,” her stepfather wrote.

He added that Willis had retired from the adult film industry almost two years ago with “aspirations for success in other areas of entertainment.”

The stepfather previously reported that she has not regained consciousness after a month-long coma and that her family was called to say goodbye while she survives on a ventilator.

As of now, Leone’s crowdfunding page has raised $4,630 of its $12,000 goal.

1000-Lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton has admitted that her morbid obesity caused her to fall into a coma.

The TV star reached a staggering 52nd place at her toughest point, and earlier this year she admits she was rushed to hospital after she stopped breathing.

During the emergency that started at a weight-loss clinic, she was put on a ventilator and put into a coma.

Tammy, 37, admitted the scare reportedly made her change her outlook on life last year, and she has now lost an incredible 31st.

Due to the enormous weight loss, she can finally walk without assistance.

Fans were first introduced to Tammy and her sister Amy Slaton-Halterman when 1000-Lb Sisters premiered on TLC in January 2020.

After struggling with her weight all her life, Kentucky, US, native Tammy reached her target weight before weight loss surgery during a February 2023 episode, after dropping from over 50 to 38.

Tammy underwent the procedure, bariatric surgery, and admitted she was “excited to get another chance at life.”

Three months after surgery, she received 24-hour oxygen support.

But it wasn’t just breathing and walking unassisted that Tammy struggled with; her weight took a huge toll on her personal hygiene.

Viewers were shocked when Tammy admitted on the show that she rarely brushed her teeth as she went to the dentist for the first time in ten years.

While at the dentist, she was asked how often she cleaned her teeth, and she revealed, “I try at least twice a week. “I should do it every day, but…”

Viewers were shocked by the confession, but Tammy is unrepentant.

She hit back at her Tik Tok trolls, saying: “With all due respect, I wish people like you would stop saying this kind of nonsense.

‘It doesn’t help my self-confidence.

“I was trying to boost my self-confidence and seeing comments about my chin or my teeth doesn’t help.”

Despite struggling with these issues, she is now confident that her weight loss has given her a new lease on life, and is interested in pursuing a new career in modeling.

Tammy has been dressing up and posing for the camera at her home in Kentucky, as a source said Tammy has her eyes on modeling and increasing her publicity outside of the reality show.

Tammy has vowed not to let her body ‘defeat’ her after her near-fatal experience.

She told People magazine: “My near-death experience has taught me not to take life for granted…

“I now live my life how I want and not how others want me to…

“I told y’all this wasn’t the end of me, the new and improved Tammy is on the way.”

In addition to improvements in her health, Tammy has also seen a boost in her personal life.

In November last year she married Caleb Willingham, 39, at the rehabilitation center where they met.

EEN VROUW met sikkelcelziekte heeft verteld over haar afschuw toen ze ontdekte dat ze uit haar huis was gezet terwijl ze in coma lag – en uit de intensive care kwam om te ontdekken dat al haar bezittingen verdwenen waren.

Juliet Iswan, 43, lag vanaf februari 2023 in het Bristol Royal Infirmary ziekenhuis nadat ze een beroerte had gehad waardoor ze vijf weken in coma raakte.

Ze bleef tot twee weken geleden, in januari 2024, op de intensive care – maar Juliet verblijft nu in een sociale woning – met niets anders dan een ziekenhuisbed en ziekenhuisjassen op haar naam.

Voordat ze met spoed naar het ziekenhuis werd gebracht, had Juliet een huis in de noodwoning Connolly & Callaghan in Bristol, waar ze al acht jaar woonde.

Maar terwijl Juliet in coma lag, werden al haar bezittingen – inclusief £ 300 aan contant geld, haar paspoort, onvervangbare familiesieraden en andere bezittingen – verkocht of weggegooid – en ze kan er geen enkel bewijs van vinden.

Collosaal verlies

Juliet, geboren in Oeganda maar sinds 2005 woonachtig in Bristol, zei: “Toen ik uit een coma kwam, kreeg ik te horen dat ik uit mijn huis was gezet en dat al mijn spullen weg waren.

‘De belangrijkste dingen waar ik niet eens een geldelijke waarde aan kan hechten – kettingen, oorbellen, elk geschenk dat ik ooit van mijn ouders heb gekregen, zat in die doos – mijn moeder, mijn oma – en het is blijkbaar allemaal verdwenen.

“Ik ben al mijn kleren kwijt, mijn schoenen zitten nog in dozen – ik hield ervan om elke dag te wandelen, als het regende, dan zou ik lopen, maar nu heb ik niets.

‘Ik weet niet eens waar mijn paspoort is.

“Ik zit nu in een koud huis met alleen maar een ziekenhuisbed en dat is het: hoe kun je iemand naar dit leven ontslaan?

‘Van een coma tot dit – het is ijskoud – dit is geen manier om te leven. Ik heb niets.

‘Tussen de gemeente en Connolly en Callaghan neemt niemand de verantwoordelijkheid voor mijn spullen.

“Als ik de flat had verlaten om naar Glastonbury te gaan of zoiets, zou ik het begrijpen, maar ze wisten dat ik letterlijk bewusteloos in het ziekenhuis lag.”

Levenslange strijd

Juliet werd geboren met sikkelcelziekte – een ernstige en levenslange gezondheidstoestand die chronische pijn, vermoeidheid en andere ernstige gezondheidsproblemen veroorzaakt, zoals infectie, acuut borstsyndroom en beroerte – en er is geen remedie.

Juliet legt uit hoe de ziekte ervoor zorgt dat ze met pijn in slaap valt, “met een verkeersopstopping van cellen in je lichaam die de beweging van het bloed in je lichaam belemmert”, waardoor ze vaak 'het gevoel krijgt alsof ze de dagen van haar leven aan het aftellen is'.

Eerst kon ik het niet geloven, maar toen begon ik gewoon te huilen

Julia Iswan

Na een ernstige beroerte in 2009 veranderde haar leven dramatisch, toen Juliet lichamelijk gehandicapt raakte en meerdere heupvervangingen moest ondergaan, evenals andere operaties.

Sindsdien herinnert Juliet zich dat ze het ziekenhuis in en uit ging, maar tien maanden in het BRI verbleef toen ze een beroerte kreeg.

Juliet raakte vervolgens in februari 2023 in coma, veroorzaakt door hersenoedeem – zwelling van de hersenen.

'Ik kon niet praten'

Ze zei: “Toen ik in het ziekenhuis lag, woonde ik in een tijdelijke accommodatie – een appartement met één slaapkamer in een huis in Stokes Croft met Connolly & Callaghan.

“Maar toen ik uit mijn coma ontwaakte, moest mijn sikkelcelverpleegkundige mij vertellen dat ik letterlijk dakloos was en uit mijn huis gezet was.

“Ik wist niet wat ik moest zeggen of denken, ik kon niet praten.

‘Ik moest gewoon proberen dit te blokkeren en me te concentreren op beter worden, maar vergeet niet te vragen wat er met al mijn spullen in het pand was gebeurd.

“De verpleegster zei tegen mij: 'Ik wilde het je niet vertellen, maar de huisvestingsagenten zeiden dat al jouw spullen met die van iedereen vermengd zijn.'

Juliet kreeg te horen dat zij of een familielid enkele van haar 'belangrijke' spullen kon ophalen, maar bij het ophalen kreeg haar vriendin alleen Juliet's medicijnen en een leeg sieradendoosje overhandigd – niet haar paspoort, of contant geld of sentimentele sieraden.

Juliet kreeg in het ziekenhuis ook te horen dat een dakloze agent met haar agenten had gesproken en zei dat Juliet op het punt stond ontslagen te worden en een raadsflat met één slaapkamer had gekregen – dus wilden ze haar spullen ophalen, dus toen ze naar haar nieuwe ging. thuis', kon ze haar bezittingen krijgen.

Juliet legde uit: “Ze kregen te horen dat het allemaal weg was.

“Eerst kon ik het niet geloven, daarna begon ik gewoon te huilen.

‘Ze hadden mij kunnen bellen om te vertellen dat ze er vanaf zouden komen, maar ze hebben mij en het ziekenhuis daar niet eens van op de hoogte gesteld.

‘Ze wisten dat ik in coma lag, ze kenden mijn toestand, maar niemand werd op de hoogte gebracht.

“Ze mogen mensen dit niet aandoen – alleen maar omdat ik geen grote familie heb die voor mij opkomt of iemand die mensen ter verantwoording kan roepen – het is volkomen onmenselijk.”

Inhumaan

Voordat haar gezondheid verslechterde, werkte Juliet parttime voor OSCAR Bristol – een vrijwilligersorganisatie en geregistreerde liefdadigheidsinstelling wiens primaire rol het verbeteren van de kwaliteit van de gezondheid en het welzijn is van individuen en gezinnen die leven met sikkelcelziekte en thalassemie.

Ze werd door de organisatie ondersteund tijdens haar verblijf in en uit het ziekenhuis.

Alphanso Davis, een OSCAR-voorzitter, schreef in augustus aan de Raad waarin hij zijn “volslagen afkeer uitte over het gebrek aan zorg” van het huisvestingsbureau.

Ze schreven: “Onze organisatie OSCAR Bristol had herhaaldelijk contact opgenomen met het huisvestingsbureau van de gemeenteraad van Bristol over het lot van Juliet en haar huisvestingsbehoeften, zonder enige reactie.

“Er zijn minstens zes telefoontjes gepleegd en één e-mail verzonden op 27 juni 2023 vanuit OSCAR Bristol met toestemming van Juliet.

“Juliet werd met spoed naar de intensive care van het BRI-ziekenhuis gebracht, vechtend voor haar leven, vanwege de ernst van haar toestand.

‘Terwijl ze intensieve zorg onderging, werd Juliet op schandelijke wijze dakloos.

‘Juliet is erg bedroefd en heeft het gevoel dat ze verschrikkelijk is behandeld door het huisvestingsbureau van de gemeenteraad van Bristol.

'Juliet heeft op zijn minst een appartement op de begane grond met één slaapkamer nodig, bij voorkeur in de regio Kingsdown of Cotham, waar ze een fantastisch ondersteunend netwerk heeft dat haar dagelijks ondersteunt.'

Juliet zegt dat ze al meer dan zes jaar in een onderkomen bij Connolly & Callaghan woonde. Ze legde uit dat de agenten wisten dat wanneer ze niet bij haar thuis was, ze in het ziekenhuis zou belanden en dat haar toestand en plotselinge ziekenhuisopname ‘niet alleen uit de lucht kwam vallen’. blauw”.

Haar vriend Richard ging naar het gebouw waar ze woonde en zag een vertegenwoordiger van C&C, genaamd Paul, die verzekerde dat Juliet's bezittingen veilig waren en dat ze opgehaald konden worden als ze het ziekenhuis verliet.

Richard zegt na “meerdere pogingen om contact op te nemen met Paul”, sindsdien niets meer te hebben gehoord.

Een woordvoerder van Connolly & Callaghan zei: “In overeenstemming met onze contractuele verplichtingen slaan we spullen over het algemeen slechts zeven dagen op.

“Alle bezittingen worden op eigen risico van de persoon naar onze eigendommen gebracht, zoals vermeld in de toelatingspapieren.

“Het spreekt voor zich dat wij altijd ons best doen om die bewoners in onze huisvesting te helpen.

“We zijn echter beperkt in de opslag en hebben een constante toestroom van spullen die we een week moeten bewaren.

“Om bezittingen te verwijderen, moeten we een onrechtmatige daad-brief ontvangen van de wettelijke instantie en een kopie wordt door de wettelijke instantie naar de bewoner gestuurd, en alleen dan worden de bezittingen verwijderd.

“Er waren deze week een aantal vragen over de bezittingen van Juliet, maar de eerste reactie van mijn collega was dat we de bezittingen over het algemeen niet langer dan zeven dagen zouden bewaren, dus als Juliet acht maanden geleden zou worden ontslagen (zoals de aanvrager had verklaard ) Het is onwaarschijnlijk dat we ze nog hebben.

“Mijn collega bood aan om de vragensteller over te dragen aan een andere collega die verder onderzoek kon doen.

“Deze collega herinnerde zich de zaak en herinnerde zich dat er belangrijke documenten waren bewaard.

“We hebben geen klacht ingediend over deze kwestie, noch een overzicht van de ‘lijst van vijf dingen’ of ontbrekende bezittingen.

“Er zijn geen bezittingen geveild.

“We leven mee met de bewoners die in onze accommodatie zijn geboekt en zullen altijd proberen tegemoet te komen waar we kunnen.

“Het is echt teleurstellend dat het onderstaande verslag onnauwkeurig is en onze collega’s afbeeldt alsof ze niets geven om de mensen in onze accommodatie.

“Dit is niet waar.”

Een woordvoerder van de gemeenteraad van Bristol heeft gezegd dat de huisvestingsaanbieder verantwoordelijk is voor de bezittingen van een huurder, en niet de gemeente.

Ze zouden dit mensen niet moeten aandoen – alleen maar omdat ik geen grote familie heb die voor mij opkomt of iemand die mensen ter verantwoording kan roepen – het is volkomen onmenselijk.

Julia Iswan

Zij zeiden: “Het is de verantwoordelijkheid van de gemeente om noodopvang te bieden aan degenen die hiervoor in aanmerking komen, terwijl wij met hen samenwerken om een ​​meer permanente oplossing te vinden.

“Huurtoeslag wordt betaald aan de accommodatieverschaffer om de kosten van de accommodatie te dekken.

“Als een persoon een langdurig verblijf in het ziekenhuis nodig heeft, wordt zijn tijdelijke accommodatie voor een korte periode vastgehouden en wordt de huurtoeslag doorbetaald.

“Als het verblijf in het ziekenhuis van een persoon voortduurt zonder een bekende datum voor ontslag, wordt de tijdelijke opvangplaats beschikbaar gesteld voor een andere persoon die noodhulp nodig heeft.

“Agenten zullen de situatie van het individu in de gaten houden, zodat wanneer ze klaar zijn om uit het ziekenhuis te worden ontslagen, er noodopvang wordt gevonden en we met hen blijven samenwerken om langetermijnoplossingen te vinden die aan hun huisvestingsbehoefte voldoen.”

Uitspreken

Juliet hoopt het bewustzijn van haar situatie te vergroten en te voorkomen dat anderen het trauma doormaken dat zij heeft meegemaakt.

Ze voegde eraan toe: “Het klopt gewoon niet: dit zal met een andere persoon gebeuren als mensen er niet achter komen.

“We moeten ze oproepen.”

Julie voegde eraan toe: “Ik zou graag enkele mensen zoals de medische staf van BRI willen bedanken, vooral het Oncologie- en Hematologiecentrum op ICU Bristol en Bristol OSCAR voor de steun en zorg.

“En nog veel meer mensen die haar hebben gesteund.”

A NURSE who fought for her life in a 28-day Covid coma was saved after colleagues used VIAGRA to treat her.

Monica Almeida, 37, was just 72 hours away from turning off her ventilator when doctors came up with the idea of ​​using the erectile dysfunction drug.

The mother-of-two's oxygen levels needed dropped by half and her condition improved after a week – meaning she came home for Christmas.

Monica has now praised the quick-thinking doctors for using the drug, which opened her airwaves.

The specialist respiratory nurse from Gainsborough Lincs said: 'I was joking with the consultant after I came over as I knew him.

“He told me it was the Viagra. I laughed and thought he was joking, but he said, 'No, really, you had a big dose of Viagra.'

“It was my little Christmas miracle.”

Monica, who treated Covid patients while working for NHS Lincolnshire, tested positive for the disease in October.

The double-shot mother had lost her sense of taste and smell and was coughing up blood on day four of her diagnosis.

After her oxygen levels dropped the next day, she went to the hospital but was discharged with a prescription and no treatment.

Within just two hours of returning home, Monica woke up unable to breathe. She was rushed to Lincoln County Hospital where she went straight to the resuscitation room.

Medics tried to return her oxygen levels to normal, but her condition worsened and she was taken to intensive care.

She was put into a coma on November 16 because her condition was so serious that her parents were told they had to fly from Portugal to England to say goodbye.

Monica said: “I could have left at 37, but I think I was a bit of a monkey and kept fighting.”

Since the prognosis looked bleak, doctors decided to use the unusual treatment to help Monica.

The brave Covid victim woke up from her coma on December 14 and was allowed to return home on Christmas Eve.

Viagra has previously been bandied about as a possible way to treat Covid patients, because the little blue pill dilates blood vessels and opens the airways.

Scientists are conducting tests to determine if it can be used in the same way as inhaling nitric oxide, which can increase oxygen levels in the blood.

Viagra could be given to British coronavirus patients if they have agreed to take part in a study to try experimental drugs.

'THE VIAGRA saved me'

Monica said: “It was definitely the Viagra that saved me.

“Within 48 hours it opened up my airwaves and my lungs started responding.

“If you think about how the drug works, it dilates your blood vessels.

“I have asthma and my air sacs needed some help.”

The mother is now recovering at her home, together with her husband Artur and two sons aged nine and fourteen.

She is now urging people to get the vaccine after being told she would have died if she had not been stung.

Covid booster shots offer the best chance of weathering the pandemic, health officials have repeatedly said.

Sun's Jabs Army campaign is helping to get vital extra vaccines into Britons' arms to avert the need for new restrictions.

Monica said: “There are people who say the vaccine has killed people. I don't deny that there are people who react and get bad with the vaccine, but when we look at the number of deaths among unvaccinated people, there is a big message to get your shot.

“It concerns me, especially in Lincolnshire, that people are against the vaccine.

“I never expected to get as sick as I did at the age of 37. I never thought this would happen to me and I want people to take it more seriously.”

He is survived by his wife Kate and their children Darcey, 17, and son William, 14.

A fit and healthy Australian mother was living her dream life when she suffered a catastrophic stroke that left her in a coma and claimed the life of her unborn baby.

Nicole Gallacher from Melbourne was 22 weeks pregnant with her first child and everything seemed to be going according to plan; there were no signs of health problems.

But one morning in March 2020, she suffered a sudden stroke. She later discovered it was caused by an “unusual and undetectable” cardiovascular condition in her brain.

The now 34-year-old woke up in hospital two weeks later after being put into a coma. Her son did not survive.

Nicole had to learn to walk again and continues to receive physical therapy for her balance and movement. Despite this, she tells FEMAIL that she considers herself lucky.

Nicole woke up that Thursday morning in March feeling “completely normal.”

She took some time off from her job as an elementary school teacher because she was in the early stages of her first pregnancy and wanted to protect her health as Covid began to sweep the country.

‘It was about 10.30am and suddenly I got a really bad headache and couldn’t stop vomiting. “I didn’t know what was going on, but I knew I needed help,” she said.

Nicole tried to call Dave, but he was at work, so she called her parents. She fainted while on the phone with her father and her mother quickly called an ambulance to her house.

She was rushed to Austin Hospital, where doctors determined she had suffered a stroke due to arteriovenous malformation (AVM), an abnormal tangle of blood vessels in her brain that had ruptured.

Nicole’s condition was so critical that she had to give birth to her son, Ned, at 22 weeks to save her life. Unfortunately, Ned did not survive the birth.

Doctors then spent eight hours operating on Nicole’s brain to remove the AVM she never knew she had because there were no signs or symptoms.

Nicole’s condition was so dire that she was subsequently connected to life support and Dave was told to prepare for the worst as doctors were unsure if she would survive the night.

But overnight, the mother made a miraculous turn of events.

“The doctor said to David, ‘Medically I have no explanation, Nicole’s numbers have improved dramatically. We’re actually going to take her off the machine because she doesn’t need it,'” Nicole said.

Although she was taken off life support, she still required a breathing tube.

Nicole came out of her coma with no memory of what had happened since she passed out on the phone with her father two weeks earlier.

“Doctors prepared Dave and said, ‘Look, we don’t know what to expect, we don’t know if Nicole is going to have brain damage and what’s going on,’” she recalled.

She couldn’t talk because of the breathing tube, but found a way to communicate with Dave.

“David and I had a code where we would squeeze hands in front of people so they wouldn’t hear us talking. “If you squeezed three times it would mean I love you,” she said.

‘When he stood next to my bed, I would squeeze his hand three times so that he realized that I remembered. He knew I was still dealing with it when I came out.”

Due to her ‘fragile condition’ and ‘questionable’ condition, Dave had to keep the news of Nicole’s pregnancy from her while she had the breathing tube in.

‘I kept gesturing to my stomach and he had to ignore me. He said it was the hardest few days,” she said.

‘I knew I wasn’t pregnant with Ned anymore because I couldn’t feel him. Dave hadn’t felt any kicks yet, but I felt them inside. I wasn’t pregnant, but I didn’t know exactly what happened to him.’

Nicole then had to undergo further surgery on her brain to completely remove the AVM.

“They couldn’t complete the procedure the day I went in because I was just too weak, but the surgery was successful,” she said.

The mass of blood vessels was successfully removed, making her risk of a second stroke the same as anyone else.

She was then transferred to a rehabilitation center for four months, where she had to learn to walk again.

‘I had eight weeks without visitors as it was the height of Covid. Not even Dave,” she said.

‘We could FaceTime and that was it. He was standing by the window and I was standing on the other side and I thought, this is bullshit, I don’t want to be part of this,” she said.

Nicole was told her recovery was expected to take three years and her main concern was whether she would be able to have children again.

‘I was completely beside myself. I was devastated, but now I realize in retrospect that I simply couldn’t have children during those years. “I thought I would stay like this for three years, but it actually meant I would gradually improve over time,” she said.

During rehabilitation, she regained her function sufficiently to be discharged at the end of August 2020.

Nicole needed a walker and a cane to get around, but she’s thankful the damage from the stroke wasn’t more severe.

Her memory and personality were unaffected, but she still has problems with her balance, walking and mobility in her right hand.

Nicole could have children again, but it would be considered high risk and she would have to deliver by caesarean section.

‘That gave me so much relief. The fact that it was still possible gave us some hope and when you’re in a situation like that, hope is so important,” she said.

Nicole started trying to have another baby as soon as possible, but it took eight months for her to become pregnant.

She said it was her body’s way of waiting until she was physically and mentally ready.

Nicole and Dave’s son, Angus Michael Andrew, nicknamed Gus, was born in December 2022 and named after the surgeons, paramedics and ICU doctors who saved the mother’s life.

Her physical limitations do not hinder motherhood. Nicole said she can meet all of Gus’ needs, albeit with some adjustments.

She can’t carry Gus while walking, so she uses a travel stroller around the house – a job that becomes increasingly challenging as he begins to move and reaches his toddler years.

The mother said the ordeal has taught her gratitude and patience and that she considers herself “lucky” to have a happy, healthy child and a loving husband.

“Our world just turned completely upside down, but not once did I think Dave wouldn’t be there. “I couldn’t have done it without him,” she said.

“It’s really important to try to focus on the positive things because if I focused on the negative things I would never get out of bed in the morning.”

Nicole continues to receive regular physiotherapy and her condition is slowly but surely improving.

She also has mild tachycardia, an elevated heart rate, and is taking medications to keep her heart rate and blood pressure down.

The Heart Research Institute is currently conducting groundbreaking research into cardiovascular diseases to better understand how and why they occur and how they can be prevented.

“If I knew in advance (about my AVM), my life would be completely different and that’s why this research is so important: it could really change someone’s life,” Nicole said.

Madonna has revealed she was put in an induced coma for 48 hours while in hospital with a bacterial infection.

The 65-year-old singer was performing her Celebration tour in Brooklyn, New York, on Saturday night when she opened up about her terrifying health scare in June, which saw her admitted to the intensive care unit after lung and kidney failure.

Addressing the crowd, Madonna personally called out to her friend Shavawn, “There are some very important people in the room tonight who were with me at the hospital. There is a very important woman who dragged me to the hospital.

‘I don’t even remember; I passed out on the bathroom floor and woke up in the intensive care unit… I was in a medically induced coma for 48 hours. She saved my life. Thanks Shavawn.”

Madonna, who has followed Kabbalah – a mystical offshoot of Judaism – since 1996 – then thanked her Kabbalah teacher, who was by her side in hospital, saying he was “the only voice I heard” while she was in a coma.

She revealed: ‘The only voice I heard was his. I heard him say, ‘Squeeze my hand.’

Madonna, mother of Lourdes, 27, Rocco, 23, David, 18, Mercy James, 17, and twins Estere and Stelle, 11, thanked her children for being at the hospital.

She continued, “When I first regained consciousness and saw my six incredible children sitting around me, I almost had to die to get all my children in one room.”

Madonna had her first child Lourdes with then-partner Carlos Leon, an actor and personal trainer, in 1996.

She shares her eldest son Rocco with her ex-husband Guy Ritchie, with the couple welcoming Rocco in August 2000, shortly after they were married.

Madonna and Guy adopted David in 2006 from an orphanage in Malawi’s capital, Lilongwe.

Chifundo, ‘Mercy’, James, 17, was adopted by Madonna in 2009 when she was a single mother, again from Malawi.

Madonna recently adopted twin daughters Stella and Estere Ciccone, who were born in Malawi in August 2012 but were adopted five years later in 2017.

The Celebration Tour was scheduled to begin in mid-July with a North American leg passing through more than twenty cities in the United States and Canada.

However, that leg had to be postponed after Madonna’s health suffered a sudden decline that struck fear in the hearts of her global fan base.

She spent several days in intensive care after suffering a “serious bacterial infection,” according to her manager.

A report in Radaronline sensationally claimed that she had suffered acute septic shock and was revived with Narcan, which is commonly used to treat overdoses.

She’s currently on the US leg of her tour and shared a slew of behind-the-scenes photos ahead of her performance in Washington DC on Monday.

Madonna has told fans about her hospital ordeal and while on stage in Paris, she said: ‘I was in hospital. I was in the ICU. My lungs didn’t work, I couldn’t breathe on my own.’

She continued, “My kidneys were failing. I was infected with a bacteria that no one knows anything about. And there is a 40% mortality rate.”

Madonna recalled: ‘When I woke up, I saw all my children around me and I thought this would save me. My children will save me. It’s not me who saved them.’

Guy Oseary, who has been her manager since 2005 and before that her business partner, rushed to her bedside when her health plummeted.

‘My manager came to me and he was standing next to me crying. Two weeks later I came home from the hospital and no one knew when I would get better. “He said, ‘Do you want to go back on the road? Do you want your tour to continue?'” Madonna said.

‘I was breathing oxygen through a cannula through my nose, I could barely get out of bed to walk to the bathroom and I said, ‘Give me two weeks to think about it.’

She reflected, “You know, I consider myself Wonder Woman. I think I can overcome anything, anything except I can show the will this time.”

Madonna added: “I didn’t have the strength. I had no energy, it was taken away from me. So the two weeks passed and I still had hardly any energy. I could drink espressos, four Red Bulls. Nothing woke me up. I had no life force.”

But her “kids saved me,” the Express Yourself singer reiterated. “They kept me going and I recovered faster than most people would.”

Necrotizing fasciitis is a rare flesh-eating disease. A woman from Scotland thought she had the flu and nearly escaped death after being in a coma for days.

Every other day a new disease or ‘rare’ infection surfaces in civilization, setting off alarm bells. Recently, a woman from Scotland nearly escaped death after being infected with a rare flesh-eating bacteria called Necrotizing Fasciitis. We’ve probably never heard of it, but we have to be careful because it can be fatal. According to a report from the New York Post, the infection left the woman with an eight-inch wound in her butt. Jongh Eglin previously mistook the symptoms for flu, but he was kept in a coma nine days later.

After episodes of excessive sweating, her husband rushed her to the hospital, where she was diagnosed with necrotizing fasciitis. Doctors told the family the 59-year-old had only a 10 percent chance of survival after undergoing three operations to remove the infected tissue and muscle. She was also in a coma for nine days. “It has been so traumatic and has changed my life forever. I lost weight (70 pounds) and had to learn to walk again. Even now, I still can’t sit down and have to carry a special pillow everywhere,” she says.

What is Necrotizing Fasciitis? Symptoms for precautions

Necrotizing fasciitis, often called “flesh-eating disease,” is a rapidly progressing bacterial infection that spreads through the fascia, a layer of tissue under the skin. It quickly destroys tissues, including skin, fat and muscle. This aggressive infection requires immediate medical attention to prevent serious complications and even death.

Symptoms of Necrotizing Fasciitis:

• Severe pain, often disproportionate to the appearance of the wound.
• Redness and swelling of the affected area, which spreads quickly.
• Warmth and tenderness to the touch.
• Blisters or black spots on the skin.
• Changes in skin color, such as purple or bronze.
• Pus or oozing from the infected area.
• Fever, chills and fatigue.
• Nausea, vomiting and dizziness.
• In later stages, the skin may turn black and die, and gas bubbles may appear under the skin.

Precautions to be taken:

• Maintain good hygiene by washing your hands regularly and thoroughly.
• Clean and disinfect any cuts, scrapes or wounds immediately.
• Cover open wounds with clean bandages.
• Manage any chronic medical conditions, such as diabetes, that can weaken the immune system.
• Consider possible risk factors, such as recent surgeries, insect bites, and intravenous drug use.

Seek immediate medical care if you experience symptoms of necrotizing fasciitis.

Therapy:

Necrotizing fasciitis requires prompt and aggressive treatment to prevent further tissue damage and possible death. Treatment typically includes intravenous (IV) antibiotics, surgery, wound care, etc.

However, the infection can be fatal if not treated quickly. Early detection and intervention are crucial for successful treatment and recovery. But it is important to maintain good hygiene and strengthen immunity to lead a healthy lifestyle in a period of uncertainties.

A Michigan mother has woken up from a five-year coma after a catastrophic car accident – just in time to attend her son’s evening football game.

Jennifer Flewellen, 41, of Niles, Michigan, fell into a coma after a devastating car accident on September 25, 2017.

Flewellen was driving on the M139 in Niles when she crossed the center line, crossed into the eastbound lanes and collided with a utility pole on the side of the road.

She was found unconscious at the scene and was rushed by ambulance to Lakeland Hospital, where doctors believed she would never wake from her coma.

But five years later, on August 25, 2022, she miraculously regained consciousness in the hospital and even managed to make it to her son Julian’s football game at Niles High School in October.

“No one expected her to wake up,” said Jennifer’s mother, Peggy Means told WNDU.

“We’ve been told all along that she’s starved of oxygen and that she’ll never wake up because of the brain damage, but you never say never.”

Sara Macon, a lifelong friend of Jenn’s, said, “Just having the opportunity to have her here to support him and let everyone know that she’s doing well and she’s getting better and better, and we’re just still in shock that it’s even possible for her to be here.

“I think the driving force is that she was able to watch her kids. But actually her mother was with her.

‘Her mother has been a wonderful caregiver and has been with her every day since her accident. She’s determined to get her home, and after six years, she’s finally home again.”

Means her daughter let her sons play football at a young age. “She said, ‘I don’t want my children on the street. “I want them in the sport and she really pushed them, and she was a big shouter.

“Anyone who knew Jenn, she was very vocal. They (her children) always said; I couldn’t even hear my coach, Mom; you were louder than the coach.”

Flewellen has been at Memorial Hospital for the past few weeks, recovering from successful surgery.

Although the road to recovery has included multiple hospitals in several states, Flewellen will soon move to Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital in Grand Rapids where she will begin the process of learning to walk again.

“She was accepted to go to Mary Free Bed,” Means said.

‘She couldn’t get the therapy back [when she first woke up] then because she wasn’t ready yet.

“I knew it was three hours a day, so I said we weren’t going to try too quickly because you have to be ready, but she’s ready now.”

“Any achievement, I mean, to be able to sit independently, you know, little things that we all take for granted,” Means explained.

She added: “They will help with her speech. It’s frustrating for her, and it would be for all of us; you want to be able to communicate with people. So the ultimate goal is walking, with so many more goals in between.

“The publicity helped, you know, people reached out and became more aware of her, and I already knew she was a miracle, but to share it with other people and know that miracles do come true; I mean, it really is.”
