Jody was hospitalized on May 13th with Covid-19. His health continued to decline quickly within the first few days of being admitted. They tried different breathing machines, new covid-19 drug trials, plasma transfusions, and antibiotics until the Doctors had exhausted all their options for Jody. On May 16th Jody was continuing to struggle with breathing, he was fighting 106 degree fevers and the Doctors suggested that Jody be placed on a Ventilator and a drug induced coma. Today, after being on a ventilator for almost 2 weeks we are happy to announce Jody was weaned off the ventilator. He is only on 2 liters of oxygen thru a nose cannula and following simple commands. He has a long road of recovery which will involve physical therapy. Thank you ALL for your continued prayers, support and love for my mom, Jody, and our family.
Although tragedy struck twice, it appeared that Gary was handling his parents’ illnesses as well as he could. He spent time working on his garden, and then decided to take a little vacation with his family (with masks, of course).
But the vacation didn’t start off on the best foot, and someone had to go to the hospital.
“Best start to a vacation. Happened at the airport! Hit her head on a chair! She’s good to go now. But was very scary!” he wrote on a picture of his daughter’s facial injury.
Gary’s wife, Kristina, shared updates from the vacation, so it looks like the small mishap didn’t ruin the trip! She shared a photo of Gary and his daughters to wish him a happy Father’s Day.
“Happy Fathers Day to this AMAZING dad. THANK YOU for always putting your girls first in everything you do,” Kristina shared on Instagram. “THANK YOU for being their loving dad who supports, teaches and leads by example. You’ll always be their first love & the one who keeps them safe and protected. We love you!!”
