On Sunday night, we started to not feel well.  Then again on Monday. Mike had a fever but it broke. Monday night I noticed that he was having a hard time breathing. The next morning, Tuesday, I called 911. My biggest mistake of my entire life.  They told me that they were going to take him to Sunnyvale.  I asked for Baylor or UT Southwestern. They refused.  Then they called me and said they were taking him to Dallas Regional Medical Center in Mesquite.  I begged them not to. That hospital has a horrible reputation.

As soon as he arrived they refused to let us see him.  We immediately tried to get him released to two different hospitals.  They refused to release him.  They kept saying that the hospitals didn’t have a bed but we called the other hospitals and they said that you can do a hospital to hospital transfer but they refused.  They wouldn’t return my called so I would go up to the hospital begging to get someone to call me and see Mike.  They refused.

The doctor called me on Wednesday and said that he was doing better but the records show that he called me and said he was critical.  If I would have known that I would have been arrested before I would have left the hospital without seeing Mike. He didn’t even have a fever the whole time in the hospital but they said he was sepsis.  He was better by Thursday.  He called me at noon and I spoke to him. I know they lied in the records.  He said he was better.

That afternoon the records show that they gave him Remdesivir.  They never should have given it to him.  He was better but our insurance would pay and the hospitals were given money to give it an keep patients who have Covid.  That afternoon a nurse called to tell him that she was sorry.  She found my husband unresponsive.  I asked where and what happened.  She just kept saying she was sorry and that he coded and they took him to the ICU and a doctor would call me tomorrow.

I begged to speak to someone.  She hung up.  My son called and asked about him and a nurse said he died.  I was hysterical  when my son told me over the phone and my daughter went up there and they refused to talk to her.  The next day a doctor called and told me that he didn’t know what happened.  I asked for an autopsy and the doctor said it would be 6-8 months until we could do anything. I found out that he lied. They have to do them within two weeks.  We didn’t want him at a morgue for 6-8 months.  I have regretted that decision. They are lying to families so we do not find out the truth.
