I am a survivor of bilateral pneumonia, H1N1, sepsis and ARDS. My symptoms began with just a simple cough on March 5, 2016. Ten days later, I was in ICU on a ventilator. I was on the ventilator for 13 days. During that time, I experienced horrifying nightmares. I was taken of the ventilator on March 27 (Easter). One week later, I was transferred to a rehabilitation hospital. I was able to go home on April 8, 2016.
I am so very glad you are a Survivor and a ARDS Sister <3
