'I feel a lot of pressure to keep Holly alive' - a podcast by BBC Radio

Kate has spent over six weeks in isolation and is trying to manage the symptoms of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and raise three-year-old daughter Scout.

Her wife Holly is on immunosuppressants and has to shield for 12 weeks but is now going stir-crazy while Scout is becoming clingy and eating significantly less since lockdown started.

Kate weighs up all their mental and physical needs.
