Nora Escalante, 58, is originally from Cabañas, El Salvador. In the mid-1980s, while machine guns and rifles thundered, she immigrated to the United States.
For relatives of Nora Escalante, the last few days have been difficult. The Salvadoran immigrant was admitted to the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center with symptoms of coronavirus and is struggling to survive.“She went through wars, raised her children — she is a strong woman, we have faith that she will recover,” said her daughter Noemí Ayala, breathing deeply. Escalante has been hospitalized since March 19.
Later, Ayala called her mother to find out how she was doing. “Here with a little fever still,” she replied.Due to work and distance, mother and daughter have been unable to see each other. Ayala lives in Pomona and her mother in South Los Angeles. “I love you very much,” Escalante told her daughter a few hours after she entered the hospital, while leaving her as the only person authorized to make medical decisions on her behalf.
The next morning, Ayala said, her mother woke up with a high fever. They took her to the hospital, but doctors did not test her for the coronavirus or admit her. They told her to isolate at home for two weeks. Before entering the hospital, Escalante told her daughter: “If I die, I want to be taken to El Salvador.”
