A High Wycombe YouTuber who fell seriously ill with Covid-19 while pregnant has been discharged from intensive care, weeks after waking up from a two-month coma.
Grace Victory, 30, was admitted into intensive care with coronavirus on Christmas Day 2020 - just one day after giving birth to her first child.
Her son, who was due in February, had to be delivered months early.
She was placed in an induced coma as her Covid-19 symptoms worsened, with her family saying the move would "giver her body the rest it needs in order to recover".
Grace was given just five per cent chance of survival - but she updated fans on Friday afternoon to say she has been discharged from the intensive care unit.
She woke up from her two-month coma in early March.
She wrote: "The medical staff gave me a five per cent change of surviving Covid but because I'm me, I've been discharged from the ICU. I will never ever give up."
Her sister, Charleigh Victory, said her worried loved ones "witnessed a miracle" in Grace's recovery.
She wrote: "10 weeks ago the doctor told us over the phone that Grace had a 5% chance of survival and the next 24 hours would be critical.
"I’ve never, in my life, felt agonising pain like it, especially as we wasn’t allowed to see her in what we thought could be her final hours.
"Today she was told that she’ll be discharged from ICU, to continue her recovery on a different ward.
"She just needed time. We kept saying 'They don’t know Grace like we do' and she proved them all wrong. Like we knew she would.
"We witnessed a miracle in Grace and it'll change me forever. Thank you to the NHS staff who saved my sister's life, more than once.
"And thank you to every single person who has and continues to pray for her."
