And how my mum knows this, everyone, when you came out of hospital, she's gone through all her notes. How many times did you die, mum?” “I think it was only that once,” said Amy, “Apparently I was shouting out, 'I can't breathe, I can't breathe, they're killing me.” She continued: “That's because I was filling up with blood but what I can remember was dreaming, thinking, 'I've got to survive till five o'clock.They're trying to kill me.
Amy suffers from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, which affects around 32k people in Britain.The condition that is incurable and makes the lungs up to 100 times more vulnerable to factors such as pollution, dust, and smoke. “I'm hot, I'm sweaty, I can't breathe. I thought, 'Five o'clock, the nurses change so these two nurses, people that are trying to kill me, right, they go home,” Amy explained.
“So I was counting strips on the wall, thinking, 'Right as I'll do that one, breathe slower and then you save your energy a bit more.” The mum of three admitted that she was “ready to go” as she knew that Katie would “sort herself out”. She had been visited by Sophie and her son Albert as well as her son Daniel. “I thought, 'Do you know if I go, I've seen Albert so it's alright.
