Journal entry by Jamie Martens —
As awful as this has been, the family time it’s allowed us to have has been priceless. The kids have been so loving with their Dad. They look forward to going on walks with him, cuddle with him when he’s too tired to do to much, and they all have spoiled him with constant love. That has been amazing to watch. Thankful for the good that stems from the bad. We wouldn’t have been able to get through any of this without all of you incredible people who have surrounded our family with so much love, support, and prayers... we thank you endlessly! With Covid becoming more and more overwhelming to our community, I worry about Keith going back to work and increasing his chances of picking it up somewhere. Working at UCI and seeing how this disease is just taking over makes this more and more of a concern. I know the reality is that we can’t afford for him to stay on disability too much longer, but I also know that there is nothing more valuable to me than my husband and his well being. This week we have an appointment with his infectious disease Doctor and we’ll discuss his thoughts on what is safest for Keith. Thank you all so so much for caring for our family in this time. We are beyond grateful 🤍
