Jazmin Kirkland, a mom from Fannin County, is set to leave the hospital Tuesday 370 days after she was admitted for COVID-19.
Her journey was documented on social media to give other families in similar situations hope. She credited her survival to doctors, a powerful will to live, and prayer.
“Even if it’s just one person that can find her story to say like, hey, someone overcame this to give them hope that they can do it too then that's what I was hoping others would take away from this as well,” said Kody Kirkland. After six months on an ECMO machine, more than 10 months on a ventilator and more than 12 months in the hospital, Jazmin Kirkland is on the verge of another milestone: Going home.She’ll still need oxygen once she's released. The couple said they had not yet been vaccinated when they became sick.
