REMEMBER THE DAYS WHEN WEST NILE WAS ONE OF THE MOST TALKED ABOUT HOW THREATS WELL AN OMAHA MAN SURE DOES BECAUSE HE’S BEEN LIVING WITH IT FOR TWO YEARS AS KETV NEWSWATCH 7S. KATHRYN GARCIA SHOWS US HE IS FINALLY HEADED HOME. TOGETHER WITH HIS WIFE STAN MAC LEAVES THE QLI REHABILITATION FACILITY ONE OF SEVERAL. HE STAYED OUT FOR MORE THAN TWO YEARS. I NEVER THOUGHT THIS DAY WAS GOING TO COME STAN HAS ALWAYS LOVED THE GREAT OUTDOORS HIKING FISHING TENDING TO HIS GARDEN. THAT’S WHERE I PROBABLY MET. MR. MOSQUITO IN AUGUST OF 2018 AFTER FEELING SICK FOR DAYS STAN WENT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM DOCTORS LATER. KNOW’ST HIM WITH WEST NILE VIRUS. IT JUST DID SO MUCH HAVOC ON HIS IS BRIAN AND HIS SPINAL COLUMN STANDS CONDITION WORSENED QUICKLY. HE LOST MOBILITY AND WAS UNABLE TO BREATHE. HE WAS RESUSCITATED FIVE TIMES IN A SINGLE NIGHT. THE DOCTOR CAME OUT AFTER HIS FOURTH COAT AND SAID WE SEE HE’S A DNR. WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO DO AND YOU KNOW, I KIND OF LOOKED I SAID, HE’S MY HUSBAND JUST TRY ONE MORE TIME STAN MADE IT BUT HE’S BEEN IN AND OUT OF REHAB FACILITIES EVER. UNABLE TO SEE HIS WIFE AND FAMILY THROUGHOUT THE PANDEMIC THEIR RETIREMENT NEARLY WIPED OUT BY MEDICAL BILLS BECAUSE I WAS STARTING TO FEEL LOST IF IT WASN’T FOR CHRIST.
