A COVID ICU Survival Story with Kelli Wilms (Part 1)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this first episode of the new DoctorLady Interviews season, I sit down with my dear friend Kelli Wilms - gifted speech therapist, small business owner, and someone I’ve always known as smart, funny, caring and deeply connected to the children and families she serves.
But this conversation isn’t about her professional life. (We’re going to have to have another podcast for that). It’s about the moment everything changed.
In Part 1, Kelli shares her experience with COVID-19 - from the earliest symptoms, to the rapid progression that led to hospitalization, and ultimately, the ICU. We talk about the fear, the uncertainty, and the surreal experience of ICU delirium, when reality blurs and survival becomes something you can no longer control.
This story is about vulnerability, resilience, and what it feels like to stand at the edge of life. - and somehow make it back.
Part 2 will explore what came after: recovery, identity, and rebuilding.
