    The power of gratitude: COVID survivor thanks St. Alphonsus ICU staff Nov 17, 2022
    Show notes
    ( Saint Alphonsus)

    Last year Torena Sauer was a patient at Saint Alphonsus hospital, despite taking all the necessary precautions, she caught COVID-19 and pneumonia.

    Struggling to breathe, she was admitted to the intensive care unit unsure if she would live. She did live though and just a few months ago returned to Saint Alphonsus, not as a patient, but as a visitor. She had come back to show her appreciation to her care team with a gift, a piece of art portraying the tree of life.

    Torena along with Dr. Joshua Holweger, a member of her care team, joins Idaho Matters to talk more about this story.

    Last week, Idaho Health and Welfare reported the first flu death in Idaho this season. The man was over 65 and lived in Nez Perce County.

    Over the last five years, an average of 45 people have died from the flu in Idaho each year, most of whom were over 65. Flu is on the rise in Idaho and around the country, especially in eastern and southeastern states.

    Now, as RSV and COVID are hitting the country at the same time, officials are calling it a “triple threat” or “tripledemic” and reminding folks to be extra careful during the upcoming holiday season.

    Dr. David Pate, former CEO of St. Luke's Health System and current member of the Idaho Coronavirus Task Force, joins Idaho Matters to talk more about the flu and what we're seeing in Idaho.

    Some states in our region and around the U.S. are restricting abortions. Now efforts are underway to connect women with abortion medications – a dose of two pills that can be taken at home.

    A mobile clinic is operating along Colorado's border, so women from out-of-state can pick up the pills. KUNC’s Leigh Paterson reports for the Mountain West News Bureau.

    Cyberbullying and how to stop it Nov 16, 2022

    A quick note, we will be talking about bullying and suicide during this segment, so if you feel this might be triggering, please feel free to step away from this interview.

    As the COVID-19 pandemic kept kids out of school and stuck at home, they spent more and more time online, not only for schoolwork but to chat with friends they couldn’t see for fear of catching the coronavirus. That created more opportunities for cyberbullying and, for kids who were isolated, that bullying became a nightmare.

    A new film called The Upstanders takes a deep dive into cyberbullying, from the point of view of the victims and the perpetrators, and it looks at the latest research into why it happens and ways to stop it. A group of folks are bringing the film to Jump in downtown Boise Thursday night and anyone can come to see the movie and join a discussion on how to stop bullying.

    Executive Director and Co-founder of the Speedy Foundation, Shannon Decker and Colbi Twiss, the marketing manager with the Children's Home Society of Idaho join Idaho Matters to talk more.

    RSV, the respiratory virus that usually hits kids and toddlers, is spreading in Idaho.

    Normally the virus is mild in kids and adults, but can be severe in babies and toddlers. RSV cases fell during the COVID-19 pandemic as people took steps to protect themselves from viruses, but as people have relaxed those protections, the virus is making a resurgence around the country.

    Dr. Kenneth Bramwell is the St. Luke's Children’s System Medical Director, he’s been watching kids come into the hospital with RSV, and he joined Idaho Matters to talk to us about what he's been seeing.

    Four students from the University of Idaho were found dead on Sunday in a Moscow apartment. KTVB is reporting that police are investigating it as a homicide.

    Sunday evening University President C. Scott Green released a statement saying the four people were “believed to be victims of homicide.” The students were identified by Moscow Police Monday morning as:

    • Ethan Chapin, 20 years old, of Conway, WA
    • Madison Mogen, 21 years old, of Coeur d’Alene
    • Xana Kernodle, 20 years old, of Avondale, AZ
    • Kaylee GonCalves, 21 years old, of Rathdrum

    Classes were canceled on Monday and will resume on Tuesday. The university says it is working to help police and that Moscow Police do not believe there is an active threat to the community.

    The Moscow Police Department says they responded to a call on King Road for an unconscious person. When officers arrived, they found the four victims deceased.

    Police say the investigation is ongoing and ask anybody who may have information to call the Moscow Police Department at 208-882-COPS. Details are limited at this time and currently, nobody is in custody, according to Moscow Police.

    A news release says police do not believe there is ongoing community risk based on information gathered during the preliminary investigation.

    University of Idaho students have support options through the Counseling and Testing Center. The university has also opened the fourth floor of the ISUB for immediate counseling support from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday.

    Without much information being released to the public at this time, rumors are circling, especially among students at U of I. Alex Duggan with KTVB has been following this story and joins Idaho Matters to tell us more.
