Neville’s Story

Site created on December 19, 2020

Neville was admitted to the ICU at UNMC on Dec 8 with COVID phneomonia.  He was on opti-flow oxygen delivering between 80-100% oxygen for 9 days. Thursday December 17, Neville and I made a difficult decision to intubated as his blood saturation was unable to maintain 80%. This was our best option to rest his body and rest his lungs, for the best possible outcome. Neville is currently intubated and sedated.  Baby steps have been made over the past couple days. I will continue to update on here. Thank you to everyone for all the support and prayers! Before he was intubated he said to ask everyone to keep fighting for him because he was going to keep fighting! We need him home.
