On December 9, 2020 we all found out my mother-in-law and her disabled son tested positive for Covid-19. Her personal care worker had come to work sick with no mask. The service didn’t even apologize or help her get stuff.

We were diagnosed on December 11, 2020 — my husband, me and our granddaughter. She was sent to the hospital by me on the 18th of December and then was sent to the rehab for quarantine. She had little interaction with staff and the day she came out of quarantine she was diagnosed with double pneumonia. She didn’t even make it to her room at the nursing home, on December 26, 2020. She was put on a bipap machine and her oxygen was turned all the way up. Instead of helping her, the nursing home gave her speech therapy though she couldn’t breathe right.

On January 1, 2021 her lung collapsed. She held out till January 4th at 5 am when she died. She refused machines because she didn’t want her son to have to take her off. She died less than a month after being diagnosed. I blame the health care at the nursing home. And the hospital for transferring her too soon.
