8 years ago today, I began an unexpected journey from SICK to RECOVERING. I ain’t done. Today, I reflect on my struggle from the #ICU, to my new life. Grateful for this milestone & praying other EtOH’s also find Doctors & Nurses who don’t give up on them!🥰 #Walk4PICS #MedX #LOVE

10 years ago this month, I was the person in the top photo: ventilated, sedated, and experiencing ICU delirium. Today, I’m the person in the bottom photo: husband, father, MPH student, and advocate. At #ADS2026, I’ll be sharing what delirium feels like from the inside—and what it really means to recover. Recovery is more than survival. #Delirium #PICS #ICURecovery #CriticalCare #Walk4PICS @AmerDelirium @CIBScenter @Walk4Pics @MarkOldhamMD @mikitafuchita @DaytonKali @HeidiEngel4 @EmoryRollins

Why are we building complex AI systems to detect delirium from casenotes when we could just... do a 2-minute bedside test? The 4AT exists. It's well-validated (33 studies). It's free. Sometimes clinical medicine doesn't need machine learning. #delirium

This month we've been sharing what #LongCovid looks like, through the data shared by people who've participated in our support group community over the past 5 years. Long COVID doesn’t just affect the body. It affects relationships, work, and financial stability. Our community reports significant impacts on family relationships (91%), friendships (82%), finances (82%), and employment(78%). “It (Long COVID) has hijacked my life. I went from running marathons to not being able to shower every day due to fatigue. I had an incredible career and was at my peak, now I'm not able to work in any capacity due to the intense fatigue and brain injury from my COVID.”

🌄 Get ready for ADS 2026 in Denver! June 14–16, 2026, we’re gathering in the Mile High City—a place where vibrant downtown energy meets breathtaking natural beauty. From Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre (don’t miss Yoga on the Rocks!) to the serene Denver Botanic Gardens, plus scenic walks at Washington Park and Sloan’s Lake, there’s something for every nature lover.

The most universal symptoms of Long COVID among our respondents? A full 100% report that Long COVID has caused fatigue, and more than 95% stated they now experience cognitive challenges. These symptoms affect every part of daily life – and they are often invisible. “My quality of life is poor because I am exhausted all the time. When I push myself to do routine self-care I can't breathe and must rest (pace) myself or I feel as if I'll pass out.” #longcovid #longcovidkids #longcovidheartbeats #longcovidawarenessday @WesElyMD @DrJimJackson

You don’t have to be hospitalized for COVID to develop Long COVID. 87% of our respondents were never hospitalized during any of their acute COVID infections. “I'm still affected from my COVID. I have not recovered.”

Thank you, @iDelirium_Aware for uniting the global delirium community and leading #WDAD2026.

It's World Delirium Awareness Day! The word “delirium” is used to describe a severe state of confusion. People with delirium: • Cannot think clearly • Have trouble paying attention • Have a hard time understanding what is going on around them • May see or hear things that are not there. These things seem very real to them. Delirium is common. About 2 out of 3 patients in ICUs get delirium. 7 out of 10 patients get delirium while they are on a breathing machine or soon after. #WDAD #ICU #nursingthreads #A2F @WesElyMD @DrJimJackson @Walk4Pics @AmerDelirium @A_MacLullich @NIDUS_Delirium

World Delirium Awareness Day is Wednesday. Clinicians: Do you routinely screen for delirium in your patients? If yes, what tool do you use? #DeliriumAwareness #WorldDeliriumDay @WesElyMD @DrJimJackson @Walk4Pics
