CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A Charlotte-area nurse continues to recover after contracting COVID-19 while working at CaroMont Regional Medical Center.
Alyssa Lobosco is currently recovering at Atrium Health Main in Charlotte.
Her parents, Pete and Dawn Lobosco said she was intubated last Sunday to help her breathing.
The Loboscos said their 22-year-old daughter had been treating patients until a few weeks ago when her temperature spiked while she was working an overnight shift.
They said her symptoms worsened, and by Good Friday, Atrium Health Main admitted her into its ICU.
On Easter Sunday, she told her parents she had to get intubated, which is when a tube is inserted through a patient mouth and into the airway to help them breathe.
"As she was FaceTiming us, she said to my wife, 'I'm going to die. I'm dying,'" Pete Lobosco recalled. "That's the only thing that stayed in my head, my wife's head. It was terrible."
