“We didn’t know what the cause was. None of the tests were showing any bacteria and that was after six days”, she said.
“Then we were told Craig would only have five per cent chance of surviving.
“But I must admit, I never said ‘goodbye’, I never thought that was it for Craig.
“In the first two days, it was difficult to deal with the idea of, is it really happening or is it a nightmare?
“Then the reality hits after about 48 hours that this is not something you can wake up from.
“I turned deep and I always knew Craig would pull through, and he did. It became clear there would be some kind of limb loss, that was clear after about seven to ten days.”
