Nick and his coronavirus illness
It was in late March when Nick contracted the deadly virus which has created havoc in the world. Due to his critical condition, he was shifted to the intensive care setup.
For the last four months, he has battled with the virus and its complications. There were phases of despair and hope in between.
Nick had developed a major leg artery block due to thrombosis and his one leg was amputated. He was put into a medically induced coma.
After the medical agents were weaned off, he was still unable to regain consciousness. Once he had a reanimation and was put on the ventilator.
Later, he had a tracheostomy tube placed through which he was able to breathe.
Though his body managed to clear the infection, its damage was severe and fatal. His lungs suffered severe damage and were unable to recover.
He did open his eyes in between for a few days but within a week, his condition again deteriorated.
