Antonio Zaplana requires constant assistance, and his wife, Karima, is his main source of support, according to ABC España.
Karima's working day begins long before her children head off to school. She makes breakfast, tends to her husband, gives him his medication, bathes him and takes care of him, a routine that stretches across the entire day, the paper reports.
For months the family has been trying to bring Karima's mother over from Morocco so she can help look after the children. ABC España describes the process as an obstacle course that the family now faces with few resources.
After the visa for Antonio's mother-in-law was turned down, he must now appeal the decision.
