If you are ill, there is no blame upon you for breaking your fast. You must make up the days you missed from whenever you are able, whether it was for one Ramadan or more. No specific intention is required of you other than the resolve to make up the fasts when you are able. Continuity is not required in making up the fasts; therefore, you may do so consecutively or non-consecutively.
