On May 26, aired a report on Roberto Rodriguez from Waukegan, who was discharged from Shirley Ryan ³Ô¹ÏÌìÌÃ91's 19th Floor Nerve, Muscle & Bone Innovation Center.
Roberto was hospitalized with severe COVID-19 in July 2020, survived on a ventilator for more than four months, and had a double lung replacement on Thanksgiving Day.
