A Covid-19 patient who spent two months in an induced coma on a ventilator woke up to the news that he is going to be a grandfather.
Brian Fernie is recovering in a ward at University Hospital Hairmyres in East Kilbride after spending 67 days in intensive care battling coranavirus – 61 of them in a coma.
The experience so shook the 46-year-old from Cambuslang that he is now planning to marry his partner of 22 years.
Mr Fernie, who has mild asthma, was fit and healthy before catching the virus in November.
