A man who complained of a migraine was rushed to hospital with "one foot in heaven and one foot on earth".
James Wilde, from St Helens, went to bed feeling unwell on March 15 after suffering with a migraine and vomiting. But after he became "unresponsive", he was rushed to Whiston hospital where a CT scan showed he had meningitis of the brain.
Partner Kiera Harrison said this came "as a shock" as she was told the dad-of-two may not survive before he was transferred to the Walton Centre in Liverpool. Kiera told the ECHO it was uncertain whether they would be able to operate due to the infection having spread "inside his brain".
