Caroline said Jenny described the Prime Minister’s care as surreal.
He added: “Our daughter is very professional, so we don’t ask questions and she doesn’t spill them.” So it wasn’t until Boris was out of intensive care that he really told us.
“He said he had just passed the most surreal moment of his life and that he had been taking care of Boris, something he will never forget.”
Dad Mike added: “Over the years, she has always told us that her job is to breastfeed individually with very sick people and that means she is there all the time.”
“So once we learned that Boris Johnson had gone to intensive care, it was obvious that Jenny might meet him at some point.”
“We knew that she would give her the same level of care that she would have given someone else the week before, or that she would do it next week. We are really proud of her.”
