Love conquers covid: UK couple weds in hospital
用愛戰勝武漢肺炎:英國情侶在醫院結婚


Elizabeth Kerr and her fiance Simon O'Brien contracted Covid-19 in early January and days after their positive test, their oxygen levels dropped dangerously low.
伊麗莎白克爾和她的未婚夫西門歐布萊恩,在1月初檢測呈陽性後確診入院,他們的血氧濃度一度下降到危險等級。

They were rushed to Milton Keynes University Hospital in the same ambulance, then placed in separate wards full of COVID patients.
他們坐同一救護車趕到米爾頓凱恩斯醫院,被安置在滿是肺炎病人的在隔離病房。

Kerr told medics she planned to tie the knot in June, but that was looking more unlikely, after O'Brien's health further worsened.
克爾告訴醫護人員他們在六月準備結婚,但事情看起來越來越不可能,特別之後奧布萊恩的健康狀況不幸惡化。

Hospital staff scrambled to make things possible for the young couple.
醫護人員手忙腳亂的讓這兩位婚禮能成功。

They secured a licence and Nurse Hannah Gannon acted as a witness, as well as documenting the event for their friends and family.
他們取得醫院的許可,護士漢娜甘農當證人,並幫他們的朋友與家人拍下了結婚的過程。

Moments after saying "I do", O'Brien was sedated and spent the night on mechanical ventilation.With mortality rates now as high as 80 percent in Britain's ICUs, a happily ever after was far from certain.
在說出「我願意」之後,奧布萊恩就接受 麻醉並整夜的戴著呼吸器,在死亡率高達百分之八十的英國重症監護病房,是否有美好的未來根本不確定。

Fortunately, O'Brien is now out of ICU and has been reunited with Kerr in a Covid ward. Both are still receiving oxygen but things are looking up.
幸運的是,西門現在已離開重症監護病房,並與克爾在同一病房中恢復,雖然仍須佩戴氧氣罩,但他們正在逐漸康復中。

Kerr says the terrifying experience of fighting for every breath has made them realise what really matters: Spending time with the people you love.
克爾說經過這次生死交關的恐怖經歷,他們了解到人生真正重要的事,就是和心愛的人共度一切。
