San Diego (KGTV)- After spending nearly months in the ICU, a local healthcare worker, who tested positive for COVID-19, is sharing his story."At that time, I thought for certain I was going to die."Ezequiel Melendez Jr., also known as Zeke, spent 57 days in the hospital after contracting COVID-19.The Respiratory Care Technician says he's always been an active and healthy person. He did not have any underlying medical conditions. His struggle with coronavirus started in early March with flu-like symptoms."I didn't meet the criteria at the time for COVID testing," says Melendez. "You were supposed temperature of 102; mine was 100. They told me don't go back to work until 24 hours with no symptoms."Melendez says seven days later, his symptoms got worse."Next thing I know, I'm laying on a gurney preparing for intubation with an endotracheal tube."Melendez's girlfriend, Grace Carbajal, who is also a healthcare worker, says it was a challenge seeing him sick."Being a nurse and not being able to be there at the bedside, also being a loved one and not being able to be there for him and with him, was very difficult," says Carbajal.After spending weeks in the hospital, Melendez was released in late May. He says it will be a while until he feels like himself again. He is still under doctors' care and has physical therapy weekly.He also has a message for everyone as the pandemic continues."We need protection and everyone doing their part to wear masks," says Melendez. "I was one who thought it was just something like the flu, maybe exaggerated at the time. But when it happened to me, it was a smack to the face."Melendez says he would like to thank everyone for the support and those who donated to the GoFund Me that was created while he was in the hospital. The funds are being used for his medical expenses and physical therapy sessions. 1863

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - With seniors across the state being told to stay “self-isolated,” local governments and non-profits are working to make sure basic needs are taken care of. Serving Seniors, a non-profit that serves meals to low-income seniors, says it has closed all of its senior centers and congregate meals. Instead, it has ramped up its home meal delivery operation and to-go services. “We have the capacity but it is causing some significant logistical challenges,” said Paul Downey, CEO of Serving Seniors. Anyone in San Diego county over the age of 60 is eligible. To receive meals, you can call 619 235-6572 and select option one. Or you can send an email to meals@servingseniors.org. For those who would like to help, you can donate on their website. The County of San Diego is also working to connect isolated seniors with services they may need, including meal deliveries. The easiest way to get help is to call 2-1-1 or visit their website 211sandiego.org.RELATED: How to help seniors under "self-isolation"Other groups have created outreach programs, like Social Bridge. They are seeking volunteers who are able to check-in on senior neighbors to make sure their needs are met while staying at home. 1222

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - The City of San Diego is home to hundreds of potential hoarding cases, according to complaints sent to the city’s Development Services department.A Team 10 investigation discovered problem homes in neighborhoods across San Diego.In some cases, the homeowners don't care. In others, things might have just gotten out of hand.“I’ve been working on it, but I’m not working on it fast enough,” one homeowner told 10News.In 2018, San Diego saw its share of house fires in which junk overran the houses or surrounding yards."If you have a house that has that significant fuel load or is just packed in, well now for the firefighters going in it's like they are crawling through a tunnel,” Deputy Fire Chief Steven Lozano told 10News.Lozano said those types of situations can be dangerous for crews and surrounding homes.“Just think about what’s under your kitchen cabinet,” he said. “Well now, think about that in a confined space in a home where you don’t know what’s around the corner that you’re getting exposed to.”Those type of fires seemed to be happening so often that it caught our attention.Crews on the ground and neighbors kept saying the word "hoarding."Using the City of San Diego’s code enforcement records, Team 10 analyzed all complaints with the word “hoard” dating back to 2015.We found hundreds of complaints that appeared to describe a potential problem, identifying packed houses, front and back yards filled with household items, trash bags, and furniture.10News is using the word "potential" because some cluttered properties are just problems, while in others, the people living there may suffer from hoarding disorder. “Hoarding disorder is a chronic problem,” said Dr. Sanjaya Saxena, the director of the obsessive-compulsive disorders clinic at UC San Diego Health.Hoarding disorder is present in about three to four percent of the population and can start when someone is around 13 years old, he said. The disorder also runs in families. It doesn't seem to be something that’s learned, but it can be brought on by environmental factors, Saxena explained."The first symptoms are urges to save, a strong perceived need to hang on to items that most people would have thrown out, difficulty discarding, emotional distress with discarding, the excessive acquisition,” Saxena said.He said the clutter seen in severe cases of hoarding doesn't typically happen until later in life. Most of the time, those involved need help, which can come through therapy, medication or both. "So the person can actually learn that it's OK; they can discard a lot of that stuff and it's OK," Saxena said.The extreme end of the disorder can pose risks-- not just to the person suffering the disorder, but to neighbors, too."What we're worried about are the neighbors, their health and their safety, the person who's living here, whether the home has become a nuisance,” said San Diego City Attorney Mara Elliott.When problem properties, no matter what the reason, start to affect a San Diegan’s life, the City Attorney's office can and does step in.According to the City Attorney’s website, the Nuisance Abatement Unit “receives cases from a variety of City disciplines that enforce San Diego's housing, zoning, building, litter, sign, fire and health, and safety ordinances. The types of violations prosecuted include public nuisances, substandard housing, abandoned and structurally unsafe buildings, illegal dumping or storage, illegal businesses, fire hazards, destruction of environmentally sensitive land, un-permitted uses in residential zones, and water theft. These cases are filed either criminally as misdemeanors, or civilly, seeking injunctive relief.”If the case goes to court, a judge can put an independent receiver in place to manage the property."With that court order I take control of a property and am ordered by the court to remedy all violations at the property and get the property back into compliance, so it's safe for the neighborhood,” said receiver Red Griswold of Griswold Law.A receiver like Griswold works with the property owner to make changes. The owner still has the title, but the receiver is in charge. It's the city's last-resort option to protect the neighborhood and the person in the home, but getting to that point can take years and dozens of complaints.“We’re working with a receiver who is independent, reporting to the court,” Elliot said. “The court is monitoring the situation to make sure that we’re doing what we’re supposed to be doing which is helping this homeowner get back on track, get their property back up to code, restore the quality of life to the community.”The City Attorney’s office said that in hoarding cases, it works with other agencies to address health, safety and nuisance issues while ensuring that the hoarder gets appropriate help from social service agencies and mental health professionals.If you know someone who may be suffering from hoarding disorder, Saxena recommends getting them help. The San Diego Hoarding Collaborative, a group of mental health and community professionals, created a resource guide to help families. You can also call 619-543-6904.Anyone who wishes to report code, health and safety and environmental violations can contact the City Attorney's Nuisance Abatement Unit at 619-533-5655. 5354

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — With hospital beds running short, healthcare workers are trying to care for COVID-19 patients as efficiently as possible, using everything they’ve learned over the last nine months.Improvements in medications and methods have helped shorten hospital stays, said Sharp Memorial Hospital chief medical officer Dr. Tom Lawrie.In March, Sharp said COVID-19 patients stayed 12 days in the hospital on average. In November, the average dropped to 5.3 days. Other institutions have reported similar drops in the length of patient stays.COVID-19 patients now receive a three drug regimen: Remdesivir to fight the virus, a powerful steroid called dexamethasone to prevent the immune system from going haywire, and medications like heparin to reduce blood clotting.On top of that, hospitals have improved techniques like when to use ventilators.“Initially, we were in this conundrum where we weren't sure whether we should intubate patients early or whether we should wait a little later,” Dr. Lawrie said. “Over the last several months we've figured out a really good progression.”The progression now starts with a surprisingly simple technique called proning. Doctors around the country discovered that turning COVID-19 patients onto their stomachs rapidly improved breathing.Early research suggests proning may keep COVID patients off ventilators.“By putting people on their stomach in these positions and by proning them, you allow blood to get where the air is and therefore you get better oxygenation,” Dr. Lawrie said. “It makes the oxygen levels better. It makes their work of breathing better. It makes them feel better generally.”Proning helps move blood from one area of the lung to another where it can receive more oxygen. These regions are called West’s zones of the lung, named after research in the 1960’s by UC San Diego Professor Emeritus John B. West.Proning has been used as a medical intervention since 1976, when a doctor and a nurse in central Michigan published a study showing it could benefit patients in respiratory distress.Dr. Lawrie said there are also two outside factors contributing to shorter hospital stays across the country. The patients that are showing up now tend to be younger than early in the pandemic. Younger patients are more likely to respond well to treatment.There’s also evidence the virus has mutated over time, possibly making it more contagious but slightly less severe, Dr. Lawrie said.However, patients lately have been showing up faster than hospitals can care for them, threatening to overwhelm already crowded facilities. "If that happens, they won't have access to an ICU bed or to the medications that they need," he said. 2699
