Emily Presley, from Lexington, Kentucky, went to the doctor in May 2022 with cold-like symptoms but ended up on a ventilator and having a double lung transplant after she was found to have contracted a severe infection

An "amazing and wonderful" mum who spent 16 months in hospital after visiting the doctor for a cold has tragically died.

"I told the medical team that Emily and I love our life together. We love our friends. We love our community. So if there's a chance that she can survive and have good quality of life, then the answer to a second transplant is 'yes'," Emily's husband Jeff told the Lexington Herald-Leader. "They would tell others about this amazing, powerful, wonderful, gracious woman of God that would not give up. Because she was on a mission. A mission to return home with her family in Lexington, Kentucky.”
