Enell 'Trent' Porter had a dual transplant on the last day of February — weeks later, he, his wife and 5-year-old son battled the novel coronavirus
A few days later, the couple’s 5-year-old son, Caleb, got sick. He had a fever, bad cough and diarrhea, and the usually active kid was sluggish.Irish took Caleb to the pediatrician and the emergency room, but doctors said it was probably a stomach bug. “They weren’t testing children then,” Irish says.
On Monday, March 23, Irish thought she had a cold when she dropped Trent at the hospital for an overnight, routine post-op procedure. Trent’s heart team insisted she get tested for COVID-19. “They wouldn’t release him until I got tested,” Irish says.At the time, her husband says he felt fine and just had a runny nose. “I thought it was allergies,” he tells PEOPLE.Hospital staff isolated Trent and observed him, but since he was mostly symptom-free, he was discharged.
Later in the week, Trent returned to the condo near the hospital. Irish remembers lying awake Friday night listening to her husband gasp and cough, struggling to get air.On Saturday, Trent was rushed back to the hospital in an ambulance.“I told her, ‘Hey listen. This is not goodbye. This is not over yet. We’ve got a lot to do still,’ ” Trent recalls. “I just heard God saying, ‘No, not yet. It ain’t over.
