A mother who was paralysed from the eyes down after contracting coronavirus had her home raided by four thieves.
Ayesha Hussein, 55, from Cambridge was a happy and independent mum to her four children less than 100 days ago.
But while she was in hospital criminals broke into her home on January 23rd and stole her car and jewellery.
Doctors doubt she will ever move, talk or breathe on her own again after her battle with Covid-19.
Her daughter Mina said: ‘We just want our mum back. Doctors say she’s going to be disabled but we don’t care what state she’s in’.
The 30-year-old said Ayesha will be given the best care at home if she leaves Addenbrooke’s Hospital, where she remains comatose and only able to move her eyes.
Ms Hussein’s ordeal began at Christmas when she developed a cough, lost her sense of taste and smell, and had trouble breathing.
By December 29 she was rushed to hospital in an ambulance and, two days later, she was put on a ventilator.
A week later Ayesha’s temperature soared to 42C before she fell into a coma, which she remains in today.
Her daughter said of the break in: ‘It was more pain I didn’t need’.
As Ayesha enters her fourth month in hospital, Addenbrooke’s staff have issued a heartbreaking ultimatum to her family.

‘The doctors said you need to consider the possibility of ending her life,’ Mina explained.
‘They asked if she has a cardiac arrest again do you want us to resuscitate her and we said yes.
‘They were saying the quality of life wouldn’t be good but we can give a good quality for her.’
Mina said that coronavirus ‘destroyed’ her mum’s life as a happy and active mother to two sons and two daughters.
‘I wish people could see what this has done to my mum,’ Mina said.
‘She was completely happy and healthy and it’s destroyed her life. It’s taken her for a complete 360.’
While holding out for a miracle, Mina has been fundraising to pay her mum’s rent and bills in the hope that she will one day return to her home.
She’s raised more than £6,500 on GoFundMe and said the money will also support her mum if she leaves hospital.
