“On the 12th, my sister called me — I was in Botswana and we had just lost another brother to Covid-19. She called and said, eix Nana, I need you. Mr Sho is not well.
I arrived from Botswana on July 14, whereby now I started helping my sister with the journey as a caregiver.“On the 15th, the symptoms were at their worst. The doctors did what they could at Pinehaven, thanks to them.”The worsened symptoms “resulted in him being airlifted to Milpark on July 16, where he spent two weeks in ICU. During those two weeks, we were officially living at Milpark.”“Mr Sho fought. He fought a very hard battle.
“There would be days where we would get to the hospital and we would see the nurse panicking and shaking. More or less telling us as a family that they did all they could and this is our time to say goodbye.”
