A Sale teacher, who is critically ill in hospital in China, is showing signs of recovery according to his parents who are at his bedside.

Adam Henshall-Jones, who has been teaching English to Chinese students for the last eighteen months, was taken ill on a shopping trip with is wife Zhiyuan Geng, and rushed to hospital, where doctors had to do emergency surgery to relieve blood clots on the brain.

His parents, Carl and Karen Henshall-Jones, flew out to China to be with him at the hospital in Anhui. The family is facing huge medical bills because Adam did not have any medical insurance, and China does not have a national health service.

His sister in law, Kate Henshall-Jones said today:” We have texts from Karen and Carl each day. He looks really good today. He smiled as his parents walked in. Zhiyuan brought him food and he ate most of it, followed by fruit with yoghurt. He’s got his appetite back, which is good because he’s painfully thin.

”He has have an allotted amount of fluids to take each day through a drip. Adams parents, his wife and her parents have to do all the caring. Apparently that’s the culture in China. They have to take temperatures, feed him, give his tablets crushed up by themselves, even tell the nurses when the drip has run out. It’s totally different to England. It makes your appreciate our health service, even more.

” They have to be with Adam 24 hours a day as the care is down to the families in China. So they take it in shifts to make sure they each have some sleep. We are so pleased he’s getting better bit by bit.

” We have launched a crowdfunding page to try to help with the medical bills. We think the medical fees will be about £30,000 or more. It is quite devastating.” said Kate.

Kate said:”We’ve launched a JustGiving page and we’ve had a brilliant response from people who know Adam in Sale and complete strangers. I would like to say a special thank you to them,” said Kate. “We want to try and raise any money we can to help Adam and his parents to fund any of his care. It’s a living nightmare for us all. We would appreciate any help.”
