I am a RN who was exposed to Covid-19 and tested positive on 4/8. My husband, Brian, became symptomatic four days after me. He ended up in the Emergency Department at Tacoma General Hospital on 4/19. He was intubated an hour after arrival. He was on a ventilator, fighting for his life, for 11 days. The first entry to our story starts on 4/19/2020. This is real. It has been terrifying and heartbreaking. We have both survived, but have a long road ahead of us. Most recent updates are first. Scroll to the bottom to where it all began on 4/19.
