Journal entry by Laure Jellison —
Garrett has not been feeling well since July 4th. Congestion, coughing, really tired. He started running a fever and felt progressively worse on September 14th. September 17th he went to the clinic. They sent him to the hospital for tests and he was admitted to Methodist hospital,with covid and pneumonia.! Methodist is in a suburb of Minneapolis. Garrett progressively felt and got worse. On September 24th Garret was put on a ventilator as he could no longer tolerate the breathing apparatus that he was on and couldn’t survive on any lower level of care. He currently is being supported by a ventilator for his breathing needs. My understanding is that the respirator allows him to get adequate oxygen. All prayers for Garrett are appreciated.
