America started to breathe a little easier once the first COVID-19 vaccines were rolled out. But experts warn that we still have a few more laps to run to beat the virus because of new variants entering the race. The Centers for Disease Control says that variants pose a threat that could reverse the improvements we’re seeing nationwide in new cases and hospitalizations.
The staff who helped us were amazing. Shalise and Laura, along with our patient care tech McKenna, went above the bar to give us the comfort we needed and to help the process of bringing our little Quinn into the world. Because of the pandemic, we had no family or friends to support us, but having such an amazing staff, really made the difference.

Someone asked me the other day how things have changed since more and more people are getting the COVID-19 vaccine. The truth is, it’s night and day different. As the medical director of Infectious Diseases TeleHealth at Intermountain Healthcare, I’ve had a front-row seat to the devastation caused by the virus. In the past couple of months, we’ve seen fewer cases of serious illness and death. Our ICUs and other hospital units are feeling less stress.
I’m just so grateful for each and every one of you. We’re so grateful that our loved one is here, and he’s healthy and happy, and I owe it to you guys. Everyone knew their job, moved really fast, so we’re just really, really grateful. Thank you so much.
