reports MirrorOnline. Of her family, Kate revealed: "They’re OK, they're good. It is challenging, he's still very, very damaged.
He still can't really move, still can't really speak, still fed through tubes, and so there's a long road ahead. “But if you compare to last Christmas or the Christmas before, when he was still in hospital then you can see improvement. It's just, you just want it to be quicker and faster, of course, like everybody would.
"But it's a challenging one - he spent most of last year in the hospital as well for various different things, so it was lovely to have him home. "Kate recently revealed that most of the time, Derek 'can't do anything' as she shared a heartbreaking update on his struggles. "There are some days where he literally cannot do anything and it’s like the computer is switched off.
He cannot move, and he’s in so much pain as we are manipulating him, trying to get him more mobile so that he doesn’t regress," she shared. The presenter made an award winning documentary and wrote a book about the struggles she and her family have faced since Derek contracted Covid in March 2020. However, Kate, who has been widely praised for her resilience, told The Sun: "It also makes me fall in love with him all over again because of that spirit, that determination to keep going.
Derek is trapped, but he fights on. We cling on to the good days. "Subscribe here for the latest news where you liveBafta-nominated Kate has spent tens of thousands of pounds adapting the family’s London home to cater for Derek's needs.
