A 97-year-old woman in North Carolina recovered from COVID-19 after spending 3 weeks in the hospital. “I feel good,” she told NBCNews.
After testing positive for COVID-19, Tyson was quarantined and treated at a local hospital near her home in Greenville, NC for a few days, and then was discharged too early, according to Haddock.
“She was really dehydrated,” said Haddock, who later placed Tyson at Novant Health Rowan Medical Center in Salisbury, NC where she was treated with IV fluids. Haddock said that he was determined to help Tyson battle the deadly virus and, with permission from her doctor, he visited her three times a day for three weeks to feed and take care of her. During visits he was required to wear personal protective equipment, like a mask and gloves, according to Haddock.Over the span of three weeks, Tyson gradually recovered from the virus and on July 24 she was discharged.
Haddock’s fiancé, Val Robinson, who is a retired nurse, said that it is crucial for patients to have family support and credited the hospital for saving Tyson’s life.Haddock added, “Do all you can to go in there to see them because when you turn the older people loose they lose faith. Their family is the one that keeps them going.”
