THE husband of a Woombye woman left fighting for her life after contracting the flu believes their children are giving her the will to live.

Katrina Day has been in an induced coma in intensive care in Brisbane's Prince Charles Hospital for the last month with a machine breathing for her.

Initially her family was warned not to expect her to survive, but her husband Nick said she was a fighter.

"I've been with her for 16 years and she's one of the strongest and most tenacious people that I've come across," he said.

"She's got four beautiful kids to fight for. They are only young and I know she would give up anything rather than miss out on what's to happen their lives.

"I know that's what she's hanging in for."

Mrs Day came down with cold and flu-like symptoms in mid-July but her husband said it was "nothing major" initially.

Her condition worsened over the weekend of July 21-22 and she went to hospital with difficulties breathing.
