Photo by UCHealth.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>A loving and caring sendoff, a son\u2019s goodbye<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The 10-year-old boy was sitting with his 6-year-old little brother and staff in the lobby of UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital as their dad was fighting for his life upstairs.<\/p>\n<p>The dad was only 37. He had served his country in the U.S. Marine Corps and more recently, was working as an auto mechanic in Aurora.<\/p>\n<p>But now, Javier Dozal had a terrible case of COVID-19. He had come to the hospital the night before, and now he was struggling to breathe as his organs, including his heart, were beginning to shut down. He kept having heart attacks. His medical team fought to bring him back each time, but the prognosis was grim.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah Mather is a chaplain at University of Colorado Hospital. She received a call to help Javier\u2019s family.<\/p>\n<p>His wife, Cinthya Rodriguez, had brought their two sons with her to the hospital. No one would watch them since friends and relatives were afraid of getting COVID-19. Staff members stepped in and kept the boys busy in the hospital cafeteria with coloring books and toys.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Sarah spent hours counseling Cinthya.<\/p>\n<p>As her husband kept declining, Cinthya faced an impossible choice. Should she stay by her dying husband\u2019s side? Or should she leave him to tell her children that their dad probably was not going to make it.<\/p>\n<p>After struggling with her decision for hours, Cinthya turned to Sarah for help.<\/p>\n<p>She asked the chaplain to go speak to her children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat do you want me to tell them?\u201d Sarah asked.<\/p>\n<p>Cinthya\u2019s response was heartbreaking: \u201cYou will know what to say, but please tell them he is dying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sarah went downstairs and talked with the boys. The 10-year-old, named Javier after his dad, shared many memories and said he wanted to say goodbye in person.<\/p>\n<p>Because of visitor restrictions related to the pandemic, Sarah had to get special permission. Generally, children weren\u2019t allowed in the hospital, much less in COVID-19 units, but, exceptions were allowed by UCHealth\u2019s policy for end-of-life situations.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah helped dress Javier in full personal protective equipment, and nurses took him into his dad\u2019s hospital room.<\/p>\n<p>He sat next to his mother, held his dad\u2019s hand and was able to say goodbye.<\/p>\n<p>A short time later, Javier, Sr. died.<\/p>\n<p>While assisting this family has been the toughest mission of Sarah\u2019s 8-year career at UCHealth, she also found it incredibly meaningful.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy goal in these moments is to show love and compassion. I desperately want to make it better. I wanted Javier\u2019s dad to go home with them,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, that wasn\u2019t possible. But, Sarah was able to grant Javier a poignant wish.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHopefully, they can look back on that day, as terrible as it was, and know that people really loved them and cared for them \u2013 everyone from the nurses to the doctors to the respiratory therapists. We loved and cared for his dad until the very end.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><div class=\"su-row\">\n<div class=\"su-column su-column-size-2-3 su-column-centered\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;color: #930718\">You Make Extraordinary Possible<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\">Together, we recognize and honor the qualities within ourselves by shining a spotlight on how each and every one of us improve lives in big ways and small.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uchealthpoints.isrewards.com\/Recognition\/Award\/FormFlex.aspx?pr=JAwX5qZPSOA=&#038;m=N\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-flat\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#A22343;border-color:#821c36;border-radius:56px\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;padding:0px 26px;font-size:20px;line-height:40px;border-color:#be657c;border-radius:56px;text-shadow:none\"> Share a story<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A loving and caring sendoff, a son\u2019s goodbye The 10-year-old boy was sitting with his 6-year-old little brother and staff in the lobby of UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital as their dad was fighting for his life upstairs.
