Dear COVID-19

Where to begin,

You COVID-19 has affected many people in my life but two of those people are some of the most important people in my life.

My grandmother and grandfather.

They came down with COVID around two weeks ago and then sh*t hit the fan.

For my grandfather it was a pretty simple recovery. He got sick with a fever and cough but resolved in a few days after medication, one day trip to the hospital for oxygen, and more medication.

This was maybe a week… but he’s still gaining his strength back.

My grandmother on the other hand was a completely different story.

She got put in the hospital, her oxygen wouldn’t stay up, fever wouldn’t come down and they didn’t know what to do.

They transferred her to bigger hospital with more equipment and we were told to prepare because they were going to put her on a vent. The doctor said this was one of the worst cases he has seen yet.

But she’s a fighter and wanted to try a 5 day medication first. So they did.

By this point I was sad, scared and every other emotion possible. My only comfort was God.

My mom has passed, my other have grandparents have passed, my dad was out of the country and my grandmother was the one person I could go to in times like this… but I couldn’t now.

I was scared to lose the women who helped raise me, the one who shaped me into who I am.

Until.

The medication began working!

She began to use less and less oxygen from the machine and more from her lungs.

She is now out of the hospital and is in a rehab facility preparing to come home!

God did not have to save her but I’m so blessed that He did. He was watching and protecting her all day everyday even when we felt hopeless.

Even in a world that feels like it’s falling apart knowing He is our constant is very comforting.

I pray for everyone battling COVID-19 right now. That you feel the love and comfort from God that I have 💛
