The day Ryan got home (Thursday evening, Oct 1), I ended up calling 911 due to 103.5 fever and vomiting after having been sick for almost 3 weeks. The ER suspected COVID-19 plus heart issues so I was admitted to Good Samaritan Hospital in Puyallup. I was in the Critical Care Unit for 3 nights and after 3 negative COVID-19 tests and healing a bit, was transferred up to a Med\/Surg floor to finishing recovering. Ultimately my diagnosis included bilateral pneumonia, sepsis, c-diff, UTI and myocarditis (or maybe heart failure).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
