It’s Jamie, Kirk’s husband. He asked me to post on his page to explain the situation.
Kirk is in an intensive care room at Hospital Del Rio, a private hospital in Cuenca, Ecuador. He is being treated for complications of COVID related pneumonia. He has been receiving expert and loving care from an amazing staff of doctors, nurses, and aides.
Kirk went into this with preexisting lung damage, and now has more from this last bout with COVID. He was intubated and sedated for four days soon after arrival to get control of a very low oxygen level. Today, a week after he was extubated, his oxygen levels dropped sharply. He discussed his options with me and the medical team, and he has been intubated and sedated for a second time.
Kirk has a tough hill to climb, and the next four or so days of intubation are going to be critical. I am keeping the faith that this strong man I have loved with all my heart for twenty-six years will recover well. Whatever your choice: prayers, positive thoughts, light, healing energy, and especially love, please send it his way. And thank you to everyone who has reached out in various ways. I read every message to him before he was sedated, and he asked me to send his love to you all. It meant the world to both of us.
