The room at the hospital had an isolated heating and cooling system inside

My mom has had severe health problems for all of my life, but things got considerably worse when I was in junior high.

She was hospitalized twice within a three year period, with one time being the result of a blood clot, and another the result of a hemorrhage from taking too many blood thinners to address the blood clot.

I was terrified that I might not see my mother again when she was taken to the hospital in an ambulance during the second episode. But thanks to the grace of God, she made it out all right and survived all of those near death experiences. However, her health problems have simply increased over the past four years straight. She fell on her tailbone in 2018 and her ability to walk was greatly diminished overnight. I have been in and out of hospital rooms with her ever since. Then when she fell and snapped her tibia this year, things only continued to go downhill. I don’t like hospitals, but at least she’s able to utilize the new hospital that was recently finished with its construction over the past year. They even have isolated heating and cooling systems in most of the rooms. To keep viral particles from spreading from room to room, the architects that designed the new hospital went out of their way to prioritize containment. That’s one positive side effect from designing a new hospital during the beginning stages of a global viral pandemic. Even my own room when I had a kidney stone recently had a separate heating and cooling system inside.
