Omar's wife Kaitlyn has been training to be a hospital nurse. In an interview with a local news outlet, she shared being "incredibly proud" of her husband. She also noted that her husband's experience left him with limited speech and a weakened left hand, but added that Omar had been improving and is "working so hard."
She also said that Omar hopes to return to his job soon. Mr. Taylor works as a regional director of British health and social care company Care UK.
