A devastated mother has spoken of her heartache after her son was left almost completely paralysed after he caught Covid. She now believes more could've been done for her son after he initially fell ill at their home.
Mirko Ibraham was a healthy, happy and active two-year-old until he came down with flu-like symptoms and a high fever back in October 2021.
Six months later he had his life changed and is now a different child, unable to walk and who struggles to even play. Mirko's mum, Kawzr told Hull Live : "My son was a healthy active two-year-old who was walking and talking.
He was such an easy child but everything changed over a few weeks. I felt I had lost him." The 27-year-old says Covid was only formally diagnosed as a likely cause when she went to see a specialist in Germany after she became so frustrated by the treatment he was getting in this country after doctors continued to send him home from hospital.
