A sudden sense of tiredness He ran over Eileen Azzopardione mom aged 36, and plunged her into a lethargic state. Then, she got it asleep on the sofa and when he stopped responding and reacting the family immediately decided to call for help. The rush to the hospital, then the doctors’ confusion about what to do and the need to immediately understand what the problem was: the coma induced allowed some tests to be conducted.
The endoscopy revealed that part of her bowel had stopped working and Eileen immediately underwent surgery to try to give her a chance. Six hours later, however, the woman’s body gives up and exhaleslast breath in front of his family.
The story
It is the woman’s sister who recounts, heartbroken, Eileen’s last days and the desperation of her six daughters. As reported by the Mirror, it all started during the Easter celebrations when, without any warning, the 36-year-old began to complain of severe tiredness which then worsened until she became lethargic and delirious.
He couldn’t remember his smartphone password. She then fell asleep on the couch.
The worried family called for help and Eileen was immediately taken to hospital in Manchester, where she received a transfusion. Over the next few hours, her condition continued to deteriorate rapidly and the doctors decided to induce a coma in order to gain time. The endoscopy showed that some of her bladder tissue had died and they tried to fix it with timely surgery.
However, the family was warned: the chances of survival were slim. Six hours later, the bad news: the woman’s body had stopped fighting. Eight days after complaining of intense fatigue, Eileen breathed her last and left her eight daughters, aged between 12 and 18, to grapple with an unimaginable loss.
Eileen’s sister Susan told the Manchester Evening News: ‘We have a group chat where we comfort each other by exchanging photos of her, to keep her memory alive. It was really terrible. I can’t even look at the photos without feeling sick. Seeing my mother lose her daughter, that’s what kills me. We unplugged her and she breathed her last in front of all of us. It was so difficult to see her children collapse emotionally.”
