APPLE VALLEY, Calif. - A 27-year-old woman is in the hospital battling coronavirus, and her mom is pleading for help.
Lauren Acosta was diagnosed with coronavirus last Wednesday, and has been at St. Mary's Hospital in Apple Valley ever since.
She is on a ventilator, and her mom, Lisa Loya, said she is in a delicate state. "She's fighting to breathe. Even with her ventilator, she was having difficulty breathing," said Loya.
Loya is a nurse, and said she took every precaution possible to prevent bringing coronavirus home. "I just kept saying I can't bring this home to her because she will have a terrible time getting rid of it.
