With his symptoms worsening, he went to the hospital on March 24 and was diagnosed with the virus.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15983059\"><img alt=\"Mario Castillo Tamayo\" data- data- height=\"450\" width=\"300\"><\/img><figcaption><span>Mario Castillo Tamayo<\/span><span>Humber River Hospital<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cIt gave me a scare,\u201d he said. \u201cI thought my life was finished.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He was admitted into the intensive care unit on March 26, when his medical nightmare began in earnest. In April, he was put on life support.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis lungs at the time, based on X-rays, were damaged,\u201d Spiegelman said. \u201cWe weren\u2019t sure we would be able to get him off the ventilator because of how much lung damage he had from COVID.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But in May, his condition began to improve and he was weaned off the ventilator. He left the intensive care unit on June 7.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI opened my eyes,\u201d Castillo Tamayo recalled. \u201cI saw many people around me at the hospital. I didn\u2019t know who they were or where I was. For two months I didn\u2019t see my wife, my stepdaughter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s not entirely out of the woods.
