My sister Michelle tested positive for Covid 12/7/21 after an elderly friend/patient she took care of tested positive for Covid. Michelle was able to get Ivermectin, but I believe she started it too late. She was sick for a week at home. She was admitted to the hospital 12/15/21 through ER and she refused Remdesivir! She was moved to ICU 12/17/21 the day her elderly friend passed away.  She has lots of allergies.

We could text her, but couldn’t visit her or talk to her on the phone. My daughter, who is an RN for the NICU of a Children’s hospital became her advocate by phone, talking daily with the nurse and sometimes the doctor. My daughter questioned why Michelle wasn’t on a feeding tube because every time she had to take medications or eat the seal of the Bipap or Cpap was broken and then it took time for it to be put back on and it was difficult for her.

One day, they would say she’s improving and the next day say she’s not doing well. Michelle said several times that they had threatened her with going on a ventilator.  Then they would say that the only option was a ventilator so we had a call with Michelle and the nurse and decided to put her on the ventilator 12/29/21 expecting her to improve.

We had daily calls with the nurse and sometimes the doctor. Same thing again, one day she’s improving, the next day she’s not. 1/5/22 they called us at 3:00pm and said we needed to have a zoom call at 6:00pm to say our goodbyes because she was dying and bleeding through her skin.
