Mum-of-six who died from Covid and wants to see her kids lalukosai Jan 27·6 min read

A mum-of-five shared a heartbreaking final post from a Covid ward asking for loved ones to pray for her recovery.

Karen Hobbs, 40, shared her fears that “she might not make it” before she tragically suffered a cardiac arrest and died on January 19 in an induced coma.

The “beautiful” and “loving” mum, from Cardiff, fell ill with coronavirus before Christmas and was taken to hospital on December 27.

The former easyJet air stewardess was previously “fit and healthy” before she quickly deteriorated.

Her family say they are unsure how she caught the virus as she rarely left home during the pandemic, reports Wales Online.

They have spoken out a week after her death to urge people to stick to lockdown rules.

Describing the days before Karen was admitted to hospital, Rachel, Karen’s sister, said: “For the first couple of days she was at home. She couldn’t do anything basically, she was in bed, had no energy.

I thought she was going to collapse because of her cough and her breathing.

“You see it on the TV when they’re on the oxygen and everything but it’s different when someone is in front of you doing it.

“It’s probably the worst thing I’ve ever witnessed.”

In a series of haunting updates, posts shared by Karen on Facebook give a glimpse of life in intensive care after being rushed to the University Hospital of Wales.

On December 28, one post reads: “Well I got sent home from hospital last night only to have to ring an ambulance as I couldn’t breathe again so back in hospital…it’s far to say Covid has well and truly kicked my butt!”

A further post two days later adds: “The lady in the bed opposite me has just died in front of me — from Covid. Poor, poor lady, the nurses worked so hard to get her back but she couldn’t be helped.

“Let that serve as a warning to anyone who still thinks it’s okay to break the rules.”

On New Year’s Eve, Karen described how she was “struggling to reply” to people’s well wishes, adding: “I can’t manage to keep sitting and texting.”

But it was not until an update on January 2 that Rachel and her family realised how serious her sister’s condition was.

A post shared online by Karen said: “Being place into an [induced] coma and warned that I might not make it, please everyone pray for me that I wake from this and come home to my kids. Terrified is not the word!”

Recounting Karen’s last days, Rachel, 41, said: “We were called in the week before she passed.

“We all went in that Tuesday and the consultant came in and explained a little bit about what was happening and how ill she was. It was multiple organ failure they called it. He basically said ‘we do think she’s going to die’.

“We were just stunned. We thought she would be okay.”

Together, Rachel, brother Chris and Karen’s ex-partner Pete were able to visit Karen in person one last time. For her family the days that followed still haven’t sunk in.

Speaking one week later Rachel described how she had been planning to move in with Karen and her children Dylan,14, Niamh, 11, Amelia, nine, Sam, eight and Olivia, four, in order to help the family get back on their feet when she was discharged.

In her memory, staff at the intensive care department have given each of Karen’s children a hand print and a lock of her hair as well as a memory box.

Rachel said: “She was just in a coma. She looked quite peaceful, she wouldn’t have known anything about it.

“Then the kids went in to see her, they were really upset. They had a child psychologist there, explaining it to them.

“We were just gobsmacked. We just thought she’ll go in and come out in a few weeks and she’ll get better.

“It hasn’t sunk it. I didn’t think it would be her, a fit and healthy person.”

For Karen’s family her passing is particularly hard to process given the Pentwyn mum’s determination to stick to lockdown rules.

While in any other circumstances Rachel would have been able to see her sister and do her make up one last time for the funeral, such wishes are no longer possible.

Rachel added: “She didn’t go out, she did her shopping online. In lockdown I used to go around and just wave to the kids from the garden or stand outside and she’d open the window and I’d stand away and talk to her through the window.

“The only other place she would have gone is to the school and back but other than that she would be in the house.

“[People breaking the rules], it makes you mad. My poor sister is now gone and she was the most careful person. Then you have people out willy nilly.”

Paying tribute to her “funny”, straight-talking sister, Rachel added: “She was a proper mum. She would sit there and colour for hours, she’d play games.
