It was devastating for alumna Jaclyn Robinson (Rand, '01, Bachelor of Science in Nursing) to learn that she was COVID-19 positive.
Her husband, Kirk Robinson (’99, Bachelor of Arts in Communications), was already COVID-19 positive and had been quarantining at home.
Suddenly, with Jaclyn’s added diagnosis, management of their home fell to their 15-year-old daughter and 12-year-old twin girls.
While Jaclyn’s daughters bravely took over the house care, Jaclyn’s condition worsened. The events that soon followed would shake their entire family.
Jaclyn was rushed to the emergency ward and placed on a ventilator for a week.
In a pilot episode from the podcast series, The Trinity Western University Alumni Spotlight by TWU Alumni Network, Jonathan Fehr ('09), Director of Digital Communications and Alumni Engagement, speaks with Jaclyn Robinson about her harrowing journey of living through COVID-19.
“I really feel that it was God’s power that intervened and saved me,” Jaclyn says.
In this interview, Jaclyn shares how she experienced God through this personal and family crisis, as well as how hospitalization affected her husband and three daughters.
She recounts how the TWU Alumni community rallied around her family in prayer and in practical acts of kindness and service. For Jaclyn and her family, it was a “beautiful display for God’s care and concern for us.”
Listen in on Jaclyn’s and her family’s painful yet beautiful journey of surviving COVID-19.
