The husband of a super-fit parkrun founder has described the terrifying moment his wife became “locked-in” her body following a massive bleed on her brain. Shocked Adam Green, 44, said his active wife Kate could only communicate by blinking after she suffered a brain haemorrhage that left her completely paralyzed.
The 42-year-old mum-of-one's ordeal began after she arrived home from the local swimming baths with her son Stanley, 7, and had complained of a bad headache. But just ten minutes later, Adam watched on in horror as Kate started frothing from the mouth and was unable to move or speak while lying curled up on her bed.
In the moments that followed, her stunned husband frantically called the emergency services while her distraught son jumped on Kate and cried out, “I love you, mummy”. And when she was admitted to a nearby hospital, doctors told Adam to call her family believing that Kate was unlikely to survive beyond the following day.
