In the first part of Transformation Thursday's first two part episode Amy and Penny take a break from Transgender and LGBTQIA+ issues to discuss Ted O'Brien's battle with COVID-19. Not only do we look at Ted's battle with the disease but as well the story of Ted's primary caregiver Sue O'Brien who is Ted's wife, and with her background in healthcare what she did to advocate for her husband while he was in an induced coma and on a ventilator. This is a heartwarming saga of how modern medicine, advocacy, and the mind come together to heal the complete person. In part one we focus on the early stages for Sue and Ted of getting the disease and Ted's hospital confinement, and then in part two we will discuss Ted's at home remarkable rehabilitation.
