Da David Sabbatini - June 25, 2021

Young, healthy, physically active and attentive, the workplace safety coordinator Suellen Bonfim dos Santos, 33, did not expect to develop the more severe form of COVID-19.

He spent 56 days in the hospital, 22 of which were intubated in the Intensive Care Unit of the Casa de Saúde de Santos, on the coast of São Paulo, in Brazil.

Doctors warned family members that Suellen had only a 5% chance of surviving the disease.

During hospitalization, the woman was in a medically induced coma and told of talking to his deceased mother and grandmother in a dream.

“I've always been active. I have never stopped using the mask, the gel ... I have no disease. I don't know what happened to me, I can't explain it, ”the 33-year-old said in an interview with a local broadcaster.

“When I woke up and left the ICU, the nurses said I had been a warrior. I later learned that everyone who was in the ward with me was dead. And that I only had a 5% chance of surviving ”, because 90% of his lungs were compromised.

The Brazilian said doctors tried to increase oxygen saturation in her blood but was unsuccessful, and then she was transferred to intensive care on May 1 and induced a drug-induced coma.

Family and friends also started praying every night at 21.00pm in streaming: “My family is very close. There were people from all over the place calling me, asking me to heal. That's why God held me back and said it wasn't my turn ”.

“They told me that, of those who were hospitalized with me, only I survived. My whole department is dead. Today I am very grateful to God. There has been a lot of Faith around me ”.
