COVID-19: What does it mean for people in ICU and for families?
Becoming ill with COVID-19 is a uniquely isolating and scary time for all of us, especially you are in the hospital or ICU. Everywhere people are being asked to practice social distancing, many ICUs and hospitals are restricting or not allowing visitors. Luckily this community is virtually open any time all the time to connect with others. If you or a loved one are in ICU right now because of COVID-19 or for any other reason, our ears and hearts are open to let you know you are not alone.
Are you in the hospital right now and want to chat with others? Is your family member in the hospital and you're not able to visit?

Thank you for your advice...that’s what I will do. He was hit by a car while riding his bike. I love him dearly but I dnt kno if he loved me the same...he always said love takes time. And I understood because we r all unique. Just because I was eager to love doesn’t make someone wrong for not being the same. It was a hit and run. I’ve called the detective a few times but he says they r still investigating. And I really am enjoying gardening ☺️I’m learning
Knowing that I was able to give u a chuckle, gave me one☺️. I didn’t think of adult protective services, that is a great idea. I’m going to call in the morning
@mutwo. Have you been able to learn anything in the past couple of weeks? I’m hoping all is well with you. Just remember, we’re here for you, Please let us know what happens. Can you?
Hi Becky ... I pray all is well for you and your family . I have been able to talk with him more. He is improving : ). I was allowed to give him an iPad last week and I dropped some books and magazines off to him today... he still has the tracheostomy but he is speaking better than he was before. Patience is what I am learning to practice. Thank you so much for checking on us...I love all of you...you have helped me so very much during this hard time...

@mutwo I am so happy to hear from you! Your spirits seem so much lighter! It sounds like you’ve been able to see your husband. Have his daughters relented a little? See him as often as you are able—you’re his best medicine. Becky
