Episode 84: Bryan and Kathy Woodcox | Our Covid miracle. The science said I should have been dead but God had other plans.

On May 20, 2021, Bryan Woodcox tested positive for Covid-19. His only symptoms were a fever and body aches. They did a chest X-ray, and it looked completely normal. On May 22, he was having trouble keeping his oxygen saturation levels up, so he went to the ER at 9:30pm. A new X-ray showed that his lungs were “much, much worse.” A Covid Room was found at a different hospital, so he was transported there and admitted at 2:30am. The disease progressed such that in only 24-hours Bryan was unable to breathe on his own. Covid had inflicted extensive damage to his lungs. The medical team told us he had to be intubated, or he would die within the hour. They gave us time to say good-bye, because they did not expect him to ever wake up. We were told he only had a 5% chance of surviving. Bryan said “That’s still a chance.” He told me he was not ready to die, that he was going to fight, and to tell everyone to pray for a miracle. On May 24, 2021, at 4:30am, Bryan was intubated and placed on life support, in a medically-induced coma. We were told if he did survive, he would be on a ventilator for at least a month. After being placed on life-support, Bryan was transferred to U of U Medical Center, so that he could receive more advanced treatments. Our family asked everyone we know to pray for a miracle. Miracles began happening almost immediately. Within 24-hours his lungs had improved so much that his chance of survival went from 5% to 35%. Covid patients typically have good days followed by bad days, but Bryan never had a single bad day. He progressed so quickly that he was off the ventilator after just 5 days, and 5 days after that he came home! Miraculously, he is expected to make a full recovery, and he is well on his way there. This experience has been life-changing, and we are not sure exactly what the future holds for us, but we are so grateful he is alive, and we are ready for whatever God has planned for us. #covid #uofumedicalcenter #jordanvalleymedicalcenter #rewhipped #bryanwoodcox #parrishthethought #parrishpodcast #faithintrial #VaccinesBringUsCloser #prayerworks #miracleshappen #miraclesdohappen #covidvaccine #antivaxx #novaccine #mybodymychoice #chip --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/parrishthethought/message
