My dad finally came out of a "COVID stroke" because Kellie fought for him to get off the narcotics.
My dad came in looking like a stroke patient. Kellie worked with me non-stop because I kept telling everyone that, "This is not my dad!!!" She believed me when I talked. My dad finally came out of a "COVID stroke" because she fought for him to get off the narcotics. She demanded that he not be catheterized so that he could continue to walk and not develop pneumonia. This all sounds so simple, but when you are alone in a hospital, around the clock, for days, you are looking for guidance in these unprecedented times. She saved us.
