Cheryl Cole Still In A Critical Condition

English singer Cheryl Cole, who has been hospitalized last Sunday because of malaria disease, is still in a critical condition.A source commented: "We nearly lost her and the battle is far from over. She is so weak and this horrible illness has taken complete hold of her.""It got so bad she was literally only hours from death's door. Thank goodness she was diagnosed in time. Even now she can't talk. She drifts in and out of consciousness and when she comes round all she can do is sob. There was no news coming out of the hospital because it was all so touch and go. We couldn't give any assurances to fans because there weren't any to give.""Seeing Cheryl like this is so painful. She could easily have died. And she's not better, she's not even close. It's still a very serious situation and she's really going to have to battle.""The fact she's been on oxygen for six days now, and is still on a drip, shows how severe things are. She has fluid on her lungs as well which they can't really treat at the moment because her blood count's so low. The problem is that her doctors have said her immune system was at the weakest point it could be. She's not in any position to fight even a cold, let alone a tropical bug like this."Her recovery is going to take a very, very long time.""She's conscious for brief periods now, but when she's awake the illness is so overwhelming that all she can do is sob. She's in pieces, very confused and upset.""She has no memory of Sunday to Wednesday at all. She's crying all the time and desperate for mum Joan not to leave her."Cheryl Cole was taken to University College London Hospital and diagnosed with malaria last weekend after collapsing at a photoshoot for her album on Saturday. The Girls Aloud singer recently returned from a trip to Tanzania.___________________________________Check Cheryl Cole profile, biography, pictures, relationships, wallpapers, and much more!
