Arlan’s Story

Site created on May 10, 2021

Welcome to Arlan Arabe's Health Updates Page, 
About 2 weeks ago Arlan was tested positive for COVID-19 as well as our mom, Debbie. It was a really rough time for both of them as they were trying to recover from their separate symptoms and conditions they got from the virus. On may 3rd Audrey took Arlan to the ER for severe coughing and shortness of breath where he stayed the night, on Tuesday he was released and picked up and put on oxygen. On May 6th his oxygen levels dropped and Kai and Audrey took him back to the ER where he was admitted, and Friday early afternoon the doctor called our Mom and informed her that Arlan's oxygen had further dropped and had been put into a medically induced coma and intubated.

Happy Saturday everyone!

Yesterday was the best day yet!
Arlan was finally able to come home !!!!
Woohoo!!! Yay!!! Amazing!!!

Next week is full of follow up appointments with the out-patient rehab facility, pulmonologist, optometrist, and a new primary care physician. Still lots to do to but we are tackling it all with a joyful heart. 

The miracle of his recovery is never far from our thoughts. The transformative work of the Holy Spirit is so obvious. In techie terms, he’s been upgraded to Arlan Arabe 3.0 😂. 

So …. going forward … we will still need lots of prayers. One thing we are certain of is that everyone’s prayers and hopeful thoughts have made all the difference in our  Covid-19 recovery as a family. As a bonus, this journey has brought us closer than ever. 🎉

Much love and deep gratitude from Arlan, Deb and the rest of the family.
