Last fall, Renato Aquino became so sick with COVID-19 that doctors told his niece he was probably brain dead and it might be time for the family to say goodbye.
So Tasha Sundstrom, Aquino’s niece, and other family members wept as they gathered around a computer tablet and told the man in the hospital bed how sorry they were that it was ending this way. Then Sundstrom, who lives in Hanover Park, picked out a poem, some white roses and a silver urn for her uncle’s ashes.
On Friday, Sundrstrom, 35, was with her uncle again this time at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, with the doctors who brought him back from the brink of death.
