Luke Horne was self-isolating because he thought he had Covid - but his dad spotted something else was wrong.
Michael said his son Luke took weeks to return to a normal colour after suffering kidney failure
Michael, who lives in East Linton, told BBC Scotland news: "The doctor said he needed to go to the kidney unit at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary so I said I would drive him. Doctors there put him on kidney dialysis in intensive care for five days until he was stabilised enough to be transported to the high dependency ward in the kidney unit at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, where he was treated for a further two weeks.Now, almost six months on, he is hoping his mum, Elaine Horne, 47, will be able to donate a kidney. She is currently undergoing further tests after being told she is a potential match.
His dad Michael said: "Currently everything is being blamed on Covid so he was convinced he had Covid. "It was the unknown, which was terrible. I didn't know what was going on. I felt ill and I kept thinking it must be Covid.
