My former coworker (chemistry teacher) got really sick here in Wuhan and has finally made it back to the States...and now faces extensive rehabilitation related to a diabetes/Covid-related episode.  Was in the hospital for almost six weeks total.

He’s originally from the Chicagoland area...BEVERLY to be more precise.  He went to Augustana.

Since he lost his job here, or had no choice but to give it up, the mother is trying to enroll him in Medicaid.  Not sure how successful that will be or how long it will take, since his previous position was here in China.  They’ve raised around $20,000 through GFM, but a big chunk of that was already spent on inpatient hospital bills and two plane tickets out of here three weeks ago when the prices were incredibly high.  Our school insurance was/is capped at just around $7,000 USD.

Is facing a pretty extensive rehabilitation period...so just looking for any helpful advice.

 

My 92 year old uncle staying in a long-term care facility in Plano, Texas, has Covid-19 now as well.    Tough times.   His brother (these are my father’s two older brothers, oldest served at tail end of World War II in the Pacific) is 94/95 and in the same facility.
