John & Paula Parney

On September 29, 2021, Our brother-in-law was suffering from shortness of breath and flu like symptoms. After a 24 hour period of worsening conditions, John was taken to the Hillsdale Hospital Emergency Department where it was discovered that he had contracted covid-19. John spent 3 days in-patient at the hospital and was discharged home. After two full days at home, John’s conditions raged with a fierce vengeance and he was found by family members incoherent and confused in his bed. Upon entry into the ED, John’s stats were dangerously low and he was immediately placed in isolation and given oxygen. No one would have ever expected what the next 43 days would have brought to our sister, Paula, and their family. For many who know the family, Paula has been battling stage 4 terminal cancer and has been the warrior! She has lived years beyond the best prediction and continues to fight, although tired and her numbers not improving.
