Welcome @mutwo. This is an extremely difficult situation for you and your husband. I'm so sorry to hear about the anguish you are feeling and the lack of confidence you have in the care he is receiving. Given the limitations on travel and other concerns around COVID-19 communications will be challenging at this time. It will require so much patience and persistence from you to help advocate for your husband. You mentioned that you haven't slept. That will make things even more challenging.

I'm glad that you found us here on Mayo Clinic Connect for some virtual support. To inquire if a transfer to a Mayo Clinic ICU, please call the Mayo location of your choice (Arizona, Florida or Minnesota) listed on this webpage http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63

Are you able to stay in the ICU with you at this time? Are you able to get any rest there?
