Don’t loose hope

[irenium1]

My boyfriend and I got COVID at the same time. He ended up in the ICU and on a ventilator for 10 days. He contracted pneumonia and renal failure. He had to be in the prone position most nights with 4 different antibiotics. When I first talked to the doctor he said that the chances of him making it and recovering we’re 50/50. He fought for his life and won but once he woke up, he had lost his memory. He woke up 10 years in the past. He did not even remember my name and thought he was still married to his ex wife.

He had horrible dreams while in the medically induced coma that he thought were real once he woke up. He had to be out on anti psychotic medication. I was devastated that he did not remember me but was so thankful that he was alive. He had lost the ability to walk from being asleep and immobile for so long. He also lost around 50lbs.

He woke up on Nov30 and is now back to work (not the usual work load) and has his memory back.

Do not loose hope, it is hard but you and your family will get through this.
